Pressing and precision mechanical machining
There pressing This is one of the core mechanical processes performed by BIE srl, a precision mechanical workshop based in San Giovanni in Persiceto, in the province of Bologna. The company has been operating in the industrial metalworking sector for years, offering a comprehensive service that includes design, mold manufacturing, and the production of metal components using mechanical presses.
Pressing is a crucial step in forming sheet metal and producing components with dimensional and functional characteristics consistent with the design. Thanks to a well-defined internal organization and consolidated technical expertise, BIE srl is able to manage every process in a controlled manner, ensuring operational continuity and precision throughout the entire production cycle.
Mold design and sheet metal pressing
Inside the workshop, the sheet metal pressing is supported by an in-house design office that uses professional software specifically designed for the mechanical processing industry. This department designs and builds molds for blanking and stamping, essential elements for effective and repeatable pressing. The design phase allows for the precise definition of component geometries, tolerances, and functional characteristics, ensuring seamless integration between the mold and the production process.
In addition to design activities, the workshop has an in-house department dedicated to small to medium-sized milling operations, also capable of performing grinding operations on specific components. These operations optimize the surface and geometric condition of the parts, making them suitable for the subsequent pressing and assembly phases.
Production of metal components with mechanical presses
The production of metal components through pressing This is achieved through the use of state-of-the-art mechanical presses, designed to ensure production continuity and uniformity of results.
Using this equipment allows us to tackle complex processes while maintaining high quality standards even on large production volumes. The tooling department also offers wire and die-sinking EDM, procedures particularly suited to machining conductive materials such as hardened steels, high-speed steels, and hard metals.
To complete the production process, BIE srl also performs precision mechanical assembly, entrusted to personnel experienced in various types of applications.
Every phase, from design to production and assembly, is subjected to careful checks to ensure consistency, reliability, and compliance with technical specifications.
Process design and control software
The technical office of BIE srl plays a central role in coordinating the manufacturing processes pressing, thanks to the use of some of the most popular design software in the sector.
These include:
- Visi Progress, a 3D CAD system specifically for mold design and sheet metal cutting
- Fall, 2D CAD software used for developing technical drawings.
Thanks to these tools, the technical staff is able to directly follow the design phase, starting from both a drawing provided by the client and simple functional indications.
This approach allows us to transform operational needs into concrete technical solutions, maintaining constant control over the production flow. The integration of digital design and mechanical processing allows us to enhance pressing as a precise, repeatable process, perfectly integrated within the company's organization.
