One-Shot® Engine Beauty Cover
Do you want to know how the one-shot® method has revolutionized the traditional process of the beauty cover engine, reducing it to a single press shot?
We guarantee you:
60 seconds of cycle time
A single mould
No fastening
Why is this methodology so revolutionary?
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the engine cover is made up of numerous pieces, assembled in several production islands.
PROBLEM
this can affect the quality of work, more pieces to check means increasing the probability of error and production of scrap pieces.
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the assembly of different pieces required more production phases and therefore more personnel to be employed both in the assembly work and in the control of all phases.
PROBLEM
this affects the cost and the probability of production of scrap pieces.
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the cycle time for creating a cover is 180 seconds on average.
PROBLEM
this causes many problems for order management, because it is too long for today's production standards, negatively affecting production times.
Thus was born the revolutionary One-Shot® process!
One day, however, a group of engineers within sapa began to gather to find a solution to these problems, in a top-secret department called "Innovation Engineering"
3 moulds, dependence on external suppliers, 2 processes (moulding + injection). become:
1 job only
1 component only
1 single press stroke In a single production cell
And the "pleasant consequences" are many:
only 1 mold instead of 3
allowing you to get rid forever of coupling problems that are often the source of noisy annoyances;
cycle time of 60 seconds
(compared to 180 of the traditional method), which will make you respect the delivery times agreed with the customer;
an 8% reduction
in compliance with Horizon 2020 standards
300% increase in productivity
10% improvement in economic performance
Summing up
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
1 mold for the hard shell + 2 molds for the pur
Cycle time: 180 seconds
Piece created in several production islands
Fixing with starlock
Production of waste parts
Manual process with operators
ONE-SHOT® METHOD
1 mould. Although co-molded with the engine cover
60 seconds
A single production island
No starlock fixing
Zero pieces of scrap
Automated Process
But it doesn't end there
The SAPA One-Shot® engine beauty cover is already industrialized on the 1.6 engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
