Molprex bet for quality and automation

Located in the comarca of the Anoia (Barcelona), is Molprex, a workshop that commitment to new technologies, making practical use of them. Is dedicated to the construction of molds for the injection of plastics since 1985, covering a broad sector of the market: taponería, connections, plumbing, lighting, hairdressing, automotive, etc.

Molprex Can manufacture moulds of high production, with cycles of 10 to 11 injected minute, some speeds demanded in the sector of taponería. “After years of experience and thanks to the confidence deposited in us by our customers, can equate us to the best European signatures” affirms the director Josep María Singings.

The company no this skilled in any determinate sector, but shows reluctant with the sector of the automotive sector: “they Are companies too big and tend to cooperate little with the workshops”.

What is a practical use of the technologies? Josep Maria Cantos, understand it, first, as the need to come first quality: "the lack of quality is the ruin of a workshop". Second is the absolute necessity of automation. "More and more often required tighter deadlines of manufacture and the only way to reach them is automating the functions to the fullest". You just have to take a look at their facilities to be counts are not just words. The evacuation of shavings, filtering and mixing of taladrina is done automatically. They are just two examples of a philosophy which has increased the productivity of a considerably and Josep Maria Cantos summarizes almost with a sentence: "the operator must take the time necessary to prepare the work and minimize the risk of error"", the speed of implementation, the quality of finishes and accuracy, are the parameters where the machine shows its performance".
Projects that address, often begin with a study of the piece and the mold, carried out in their offices equipped with CAD-CAM engineering. The company prefers to ensure itself of all the development of the project office and workshop are in continuous coordination. They have two centers of machining of high-performance Kondia HM1060 provided control Fanuc 18i, direct motor with torque low and able to reach the 14,000 rpm, as well as a charger for 18 tools. This allows them to either make direct drills with a drill bit of 35 mm, machined with strawberries from 1 mm. In short, very versatile machines "that have enabled us to significantly increase production".

Molprex Has machines more reliable that
sophisticated, and especially automated

The machines of spark-erosion also have a very important paper in the process, so much in penetration, with marks like Ona and Charmilles that have of loaders of electrodes (what gives them a greater autonomy), as in erosion by thread Charmilles. To support this mechanical group also have of rectificadora, gifted lathe of numerical control, fresadora manual Kondia, fresadora for desbaste, taladros vertical, presses of adjust, etc., as well as diverse elements of measurement for an exhaustive control of quality.
Treats of machines more reliable that sophisticated, that have of an excellent technical service, as it is the case of Kondia, and especially automatic. “No longer I create in the operarios manitas, what needs is qualified people, a good mechanical group and a technical office that coordinate all the process”.
Josep María Singings bets by machines more polyvalent, with good provision, optimum performance and a good relation quality price, that at the end are those that offer results more profitable.

An example of automation:
the taladrina circulapor a circuit
closed with special filters,
separating the residual oil

By the moment, the directive does not pose use the high speed. It treats of a practical question. It is not equiparable the time invested in developing a good strategy of CAM, to the rapidity of work of the machine, since they mechanise piece very miscellaneous and of few units.
Schedule is important, also keep the means and the order. It does not be necessary to lose the time in cleaning shavings and control taladrinas. Molprex Has optimised these tasks of automatic and constant form mounting a parallel system to the machining centres Kondia, composed of extractores of shaving, and centralising the taladrina in a common tank, fed automatically with dosificador desionizador of water, with filtered and separador of residual oils from the grease of guides.
