Small lot production of castings | Thin-walled piping castings
The thickness of the meat is less than 3mm. We propose thin-walled cast pipes that achieve weight reduction. We can produce castings that were declined due to precision issues, starting from just one piece.
Have you ever been turned down by a foundry manufacturer for the reason of "only one piece" or "unable to guarantee the system"? One of the major reasons for avoiding small quantities is the significant effort involved in changing setups. Karmo Foundry designs and manufactures wooden and metal molds in-house, allowing us to keep mold costs and lead times down even for small quantities. We have five casting processes in-house: sand casting, self-hardening, alkaline phenolic, cold box, and metal molds, enabling us to select the optimal method based on quantity and shape. By confirming solidification and flow in advance through casting simulations, we can minimize the risk of rework even for small quantities. We provide a comprehensive response, including arrangements for machining, inspection, and surface treatment after casting. This is a case study of a product where there was a request to reduce thickness for weight reduction. We are offering a technical document summarizing the break-even points by method and our approach to small lot production for free. Please download it from the link below.
