WHAT IS OVERMOLDING?

Overmolding is an injection or compression molding process in which two or more components are molded into each other.

The overmolding injection molding process involves adding material (overmold) to a rigid part (substrate) such as metal or plastic to form around it.

IS ANTI VIBRATION A MAJOR CHALLENGE ?

The advantages of this process are multiple. They can be seen both in the production process and in the quality of the final product.

– Overmolding considerably reduces the need for secondary operations by avoiding manual assembly between two molded parts. Operators then have more time to perform other tasks, which lowers production costs.

– In terms of product durability, overmolding is recommended because its process creates a chemical bond between the substrate and the material called « bonding ». This effect allows to create a better link between a substrate and a material. Bonding replaces gluing or fixing and guarantees optimal durability.

The Delmon Group is committed to being as environmentally and energy friendly as possible through management processes that are taken very seriously.

It is thanks to its awareness environmental impact that the company certified its headquarters. Other subsidiaries are in the process for being certified.

To do this, the group must ensure that the right systems are in place to manage operations effectively.

WHAT IS ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is a certification that helps companies to make policies and processes in the target to improve their environmental awareness and impact. By following this framework, you ensure you are legally compliant and in control of the environmental aspects of your business.

ADVANTAGES OF ISO 14001

Reducing environmental pollution.

Improving responsibility.

Improving reactivity in case of emergency.

Continually improving processes.

« Getting ISO 14001 certification became a prerequisite for our policy and customer requirements« 

said Jean Durand our Quality Health Safety and Environment Manager

This certification got by SOCAT (headquarters) and the other subsidiaries of the group allows to meet customer requirements while preserving the environment and ensuring the safety of employees.

In addition, SOCAT has carried out a major investment in a Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) extraction and treatment facility.
The objective of this installation is to drastically reduce VOC emissions into the atmosphere, but also to improve the working conditions of employees.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a calculation technique that predicts how products and materials will react in the real world such as vibrations, heat and cold, and fluid flow.

Carrying out Finite Element Analysis is important in many industries as it helps to improve their efficiency and prevents costly mistakes.

This technique is important because it allows demonstrating if the future product will work or fail.

ADVANTAGES OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

• It allows preventing the danger by simulating components in real life. The margin of error is tiny, the results produced by the FEA software are extremely accurate.

• It ensuring to guarantee the product’s durability and life are maintained.

• It reduces costs for the supplier and the customer thanks to a guarantee of reliability.

HOW DELMON GROUP USES FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

– CATIA: Parts design by CAD

– ABAQUS : Nonlinear FEM meshing and calculation

First one allows designing a product with all characteristics of the final product.

The second one is able to incorporate the accurate simulation of the behavior materials in our products.

We are a global solution designer with adapted manufacturing processes.

Fully integrated, from the formulation of its elastomers to the validation of molded parts. We offer you the benefit of all its know-how and engineer’s skills to respect your specifications.

Nowadays, rubber is an indispensable element in all types of industries, especially in aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, railways…

It’s a key element for improving comfort and safety through noise reduction, vibration reduction, shock absorption, as well as increasing the durability of products.

It’s in this mindset to bring its customers with optimal solutions that Delmon Group gives meaning to its products.

WHO IS THE CHAMPION OF ANTI VIBRATION SOLUTIONS?

Current beliefs want that rubber is one and the same body while for each application, rubber must be processed with different ways.

Natural rubber is made from latex, the sap of which is harvested from the rubber tree. Rubber can be modified depending on each case with a combination of products allowing it to be more elastic, resistant to extreme temperatures (hot or cold), or to last over time.

Synthetic rubber is the result of a combination between laboratories and chemical plants. Synthetic rubber is the material named « silicone » and also has very good technical characteristics.

Both types of rubber can be used according to the customer’s requirements where each material is adapted to an application.

Our expertise of almost 60 years in the rubber business allows us to have a large range in terms of rubber characteristics which has allowed our laboratory to be known and certified by our customers.

We find quick and efficient solutions that perfectly match customer’s and prospect’s requirements.

IS ANTI VIBRATION A MAJOR CHALLENGE ?

Anti vibration solutions (AVS) remain important for the aerospace and automotive industries because they allow to answer quality and reliability issues.

It’s in this goal that Delmon Group (DG) works daily to meet the market requirements

Diario de Navarra, is a newspaper in contact with the plants of the region that measures the state of several activity sectors in Navarra. Diario de Navarra interviewed Alfredo Sanz, manager for Delmon Group Iberica (DGI) which gathers 2 subsidiaries (Pamplona and Castellbisbal) suffering from the crisis of the semiconductor industry and preparing the « acceleration » of the activity that will begin in August.

In addition to the health crisis, the slow down of semiconductors, the raw materials and the cost of energy increasing, the crisis of maritime transport and its lack of ships, all of this has created a real roller coaster for the rubber/plastic components sector.

He also points out that the industry needs support to be prepared and to be able to compete « anywhere in the world ».

« We are in a start-up phase with customers and new products. It’s not easy, and even less so for a small automotive plant. But there’s a great team behind it and we’re going to make it. The industry’s weight in the GDP of Navarra in Spain is very important and even more so in the quality of employment. It’s something we need to manage. » he recommends.

Alfredo Sanz takes full advantage of small plants compared to large companies, such as « flexibility or proximity to the customer to solve his problems. »

However, he asks for support from public institutions so that plants like Delmon Group Iberica can continue with « human processes » and thus maintain their competitiveness by helping them in their development. The group is in full swing phase of search for alternative markets.
