Industry: Machinery ManufacturingRegion: EuropeService: Build to Print – Fabrication of Mold Holding FramesOverviewA European machinery manufacturer decided to shut down their in-house fabrication shop and outsource the production of mold-holding frames. These frames are crucial components in their machines, requiring precise welding and machining to meet high quality and performance standards.ChallengeThe design specifications for the mold holding frames included thick welding, which necessitated careful shrinkage control after welding. Ensuring precision in such complex fabrication demanded meticulous attention to detail and strict adherence to European standards.SolutionOur engineering team took on the challenge by transforming the European standard drawings into detailed shop fabrication drawings. We identified key dimensions and critical control tolerances, maintaining direct technical communication with the customer’s engineers throughout the process. This collaboration ensured that all technical requirements were clearly understood and met.Process Technical Communication: Continuous and direct communication with the customer’s engineering team to understand their specific requirements and expectations. Drawing Conversion: Converting European standard drawings into shop fabrication drawings to ensure precise execution. Precision Welding: Implementing thick welding techniques with stringent shrinkage control measures to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the frames. Machining and Quality Control: Ensuring all key dimensions and tolerances were achieved through precise machining and rigorous quality control processes. Outcome The mold holding frames were fabricated to the highest standards and shipped by container to Europe for final assembly in the customer’s shop. The successful collaboration and meticulous fabrication process ensured that the frames met all specified requirements, enabling seamless integration into the final products.An ongoing success storyOn the strength of more than 10 years’ collaboration with this customer group and its unfailing quality assurance, CNIM Asia remains a preferred partner for the development of its business activities. In recent years, the customer launched several new products, two of which require CNIM Asia’s expertise in high-thickness welding. Not surprisingly, CNIM Asia was entrusted with the manufacture of their first production run. “The welding is perfect. We have to work more together,” said the client when inspecting the new parts. CNIM Asia is now the leading supplier of welding and machining structures for this customer.Our scope Explore More Case Studies Discover how our expertise in precision fabrication can benefit your projects.
