R&D – FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA)

What is the finite element method ? 

The finite element method (FEM)  is used to simulate the behavior of a complex elastomeric product in the face of the actions it will have to deal with (forces, vibration, heat, etc.). 

This method allows to create finite element models as close as possible to reality. In this calculation the different materials and the environment of the system are taken into account. 

The finite element calculation is used during the development of the elastomer product and guarantees a response in accordance with the specifications. 

What are the steps of the finite element calculation ? 

The calculation by finite elements takes place in several stages : 

  • From the CAD (Computer Aided Design), which itself comes from the customer’s input data, the design of the elastomer product is integrated into the calculation software. 

  • Entering the criteria of the internal and external environment of use of the elastomer product (from the customer input data). 

  • Launching of the finite element calculation. 

  • Obtaining the results : this calculation must confirm whether the design is compliant or not. 

Delmon Group is a global solution designer with adapted manufacturing processes.

Fully integrated, from the formulation of its elastomers to the validation of molded parts. The company offers you the benefit of all its know-how and engineers skills to respect your specifications.

MIXING

Delmon Group produces an important part of its rubber through its mixing lines using laboratory formulations.

CONTACT – DELMON GROUP

BONDING

Bonding is achieved by a surface preparation adapted to the insert material and the rubber compound.

 

There is a specific adhesive for each elastomer family.

 

Bonding is achieved with the vulcanization effect into the mold.

 

Bonding is a proven know-how of Delmon Group’s skills and is design based on your applications and specifications.

MOLDING

OVER MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, DELMON GROUP IS A SPECIALIST IN THE RUBBER PARTS MOLDING.

 

The company has a large quantity of injection, compression and transfer presses.

Its carries out the overmolding of bonded parts with various type of insert (plastics, metal …).

The company workshop is mainly composed of 17 T to 600 T presses with a capacity up to 6L of mixture. The group has the skills to mold and overmold parts from small to very large sizes. Presses are also designed for silicones.

 

Delmon Group designs and validates its molds. Its presses have ejection systems with rotating frames and can be equipped with robots.

 

Delmon Group owns injection blow presses for thermoplastic materials. This is a process that produces complex allow body shape such as bellows.

Delmon Group also produces parts using POLYURETHANE casting process in order to reach customers specifications.
