What is the OMAS production cycle?
Omas is able to develop a complete mold construction production cycle due to the machinery it is equipped with and the knowledge it possesses. It is able to satisfy the customer’s requests starting from the development of the plastic product up to the testing of the mold and assistance at the customer’s plant in the start-up phase.
What is the OMAS machine park?
Omas has a fleet of machine tools consisting of 7 high-speed CNCs (4 Hermle and 3 Fidia), 4 traditional CNCs, 3 EDMs, 4 grinding machines, drills, drilling machines and 2 lathes. A 1300 ton plastic injection molding machine. it allows to carry out almost all of the mold tests internally and to be able to carry out limited series productions.
Why does OMAS propose itself not only as a mold manufacturer but also for maintenance?
For those who have been building molds for 60 years, it is “natural” to have the necessary knowledge to perform maintenance on molds, even those not made in Omas. What’s more, the same knowledge can be spent on improving the performance of the mold (retrofitting).
What is the difference between maintenance and retrofitting of a mold?
In the construction of molds as well as in other realities these terms are used improperly. A worn mold undergoes maintenance to restore or approach new mold conditions. The same worn or still compliant mold can otherwise be retrofitted when better performance is required than when it was new. This is achieved, for example, by using materials with greater thermal conduction, improving the effectiveness of the conditioning circuits, using modern injection systems of the plastic material, improving the kinematics of the mold, etc.
What is the difference between maintenance and retrofitting of a mold?
A peculiar characteristic of Omas is to be the owner of the skills necessary for a “four hands” co-design with the Customer. There are several Customers who count on the design of a mold which is the consequence of a targeted design of the plastic component developed totally, or only in part, by Omas designers. A mold is even more performing if the plastic component that is born from it satisfies precise design requirements. Optimizations on the plastic product are aimed at improving the performance of mass production. This means engineering the product.
