Use MAGMA ECONOMICS to Consider and Evaluate MAGMASOFT® Simulation Results for Iron Casting
MAGMA ECONOMICS enables the quantitative evaluation of costs, energy consumption and CO₂ emissions together with quality criteria directly in MAGMASOFT®.
MAGMA ECONOMICS Example:
Brake Disc Production on a Molding Line:
An employee came up with the idea of using a smaller molding line for production to save costs. Is it worth the effort?
- PRODUKTPARAMETER:
Product: Brakedisk
Process: sand casting, horizontal molding line
Metal: cast iron, GJL-350
Casting weight: 6 kg
Production volume: 500,000/year
Cavities per mold: 8 vs. 4
Cycle time: 60 sec. vs. 22,5 sec.
Number of filters: 4 vs. 1
The scenario planning feature in MAGMA ECONOMICS allows you to quickly make a simple cost estimate.
This resulted in an estimated cost savings of €0.16 / 7%.
- The expected savings of €0.16/7 % was thus incentive enough to create a CAD model of the design and then simulate it.
- The simulation result exceeds the prediction by further 3 %. Total savings: 10 %.
For a planned production volume of 500,000 parts per year, the savings is € 115,000.
MAGMA ECONOMICS
MAGMA ECONOMICS identifies savings potentials throughout the entire casting process.
Become more cost-efficient and sustainable – without quality risk.
