Aluminum structure for a vehicle armrest

Customer request:
Produce an armrest structure, starting with the drawing of the blank and the finished piece, complete with mechanical machining.
Supply: 30,000 pieces a year.

Project:
- 5/6 die-casting dies for four different vehicle models
- 5/6 blanking dies for four different vehicle models
- straightening and deburring of all pieces in automatic cycle
- aluminum casting on automated press with robot for unloading pieces and automatic blanking

Eurostampi solutions:

Eurostampi recommended eliminating post-casting mechanical machining, which resulted in decreased production costs and times.
The die was then produced by following the drawing of the finished piece. Furthermore, in order to eliminate the mechanical machining step, the various die parts were made to be interchangeable so that the die did not require being removed several times.

Eurostampi’s successes:
- 30% decrease in the price of the piece
- shortened production cycle (by approximately 30 days)
