CASE HISTORY

The collaborations with our clients are successful case histories that result from an accurate work. We take into account the most specific need of our clients, given our ability to overcome every challenge, also thanks to our experience of over twenty years in diecasting and aluminum extrusion for the aerospace, design, lighting technology and industrial electronic sectors.

Hinge for sectional doors

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

How we have improved the assembly of a hinge for sectional doors

The customer needed to: reduce production costs, improve the design and simplify assembly.

SOLUTION: The metal article has been replaced by the plastic one and has been patented. The assembly has been improved: for the metal ones, screws and nuts were needed to be adjusted, while the plastic ones are ready for use.

Component for sectional doors

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

How we cut the production costs by 50%.

The customer needed to reduce costs and improve editing.

SOLUTION:

The one seen in the photo, initially, was a metal block that needed two people for assembly, this therefore meant: more staff to involve and longer processing times. Now, thanks to the plastic part, it was possible to mount it autonomously as the two plastic parts hook together, facilitating assembly. This has certainly allowed a simplification of the assembly but also a reduction in costs due to shorter times and to the personnel (now no longer involved).

Component for sectional doors

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

No more metal brackets to facilitate assembly and reduce costs.

The customer needed to: reduce costs and improve editing.

SOLUTION: Initially they were metal brackets that were mounted with screws and data. This has been replaced by the plastic part which facilitates assembly. Facilitating assembly means reducing time and this is reflected in the costs which, now, can be reduced thanks to the solution we have been able to find.

aluminum diecasting and plastic moulding

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

Aesthetic and functional improvements and 10% cost reduction.

The customer needed to improve the aesthetics and functionality as well as reducing the production costs.

SOLUTION: This case history refers to an important Italian client for which three European patents have been registered. The challenge allowed us to develop a product realized in aluminum diecasting and plastic moulding, with fundamental aesthetic and functional improvements and a reduction of costs of more than 10%. These improvements allowed the client to sell it also to its direct competitors.

Frames for industrial sectional doors

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

Neither cuts nor welds of the profiles thanks to these inserts

The customer needed to: reduce costs and improve editing.

SOLUTION:

Initially these frames for industrial sectional doors were made with profiles cut at 45 ° and welded, these have been replaced with two plastic inserts that facilitate assembly (the profiles now no longer have to be cut at 45 °, nor welded). This allowed for a significant reduction in costs and an evident improvement in assembly.

Wheel cover

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SECTOR

How we made customizable and improved the design of these simple wheel covers

The customer needed to: reduce costs, improve editing, improve the design and customization.

SOLUTION: The first thing that was done was to replace the metal article with plastic. The metal part was standard, now with the plastic piece more versions have been created, the design has been improved and it is possible to customize it by inserting the logo. Thanks to these solutions we have been able to reduce costs, facilitate assembly and make the product design more attractive, also allowing customization.

Support connections for airplane light

AEROSPACE SECTOR

Airplane lights are detaching. Problem solved!

The customer needed to: improve the connections of the airplane lights that are breaking due to the vibrations and were risking to detach and fall.

SOLUTION: We were contacted by an important German multinational producing lights that are installed on the wings and the landing gear of the airplane. We were exposed the problem and in a short time we were able to find a productive solution that has allowed us to produce those lights for five years for that client. The lights are not detaching anymore. This project makes us particularly proud because the aerospace sector doesn’t allow mistakes and the production quality is an essential element.

Mold for spotlight

AEROSPACE SECTOR

Too expensive to print only a few pieces? The solution thanks to the use of a multi-cavity mold

The customer needed to: reduce costs and make only a few pieces.

SOLUTION: The customer had to make a spotlight knowing that he would make a few pieces in a year. The solutions proposed by the market were too expensive. We proposed the creation of a multi-cavity mold with which all the components would be molded. In this case, the construction of the mold was done incorrectly, as in the figure there are several items with very different weights.

Aluminum profiles for shelves

DESIGN SECTOR

A solution that allowed our Client to realize a product family with the same idea.

The client needed to realize profiles to sustain the shelves of a library.

SOLUTION: After an accurate analysis, Laga realized profiles made by extruded aluminum assembled with angular diecsting pieces in collaboration with a designer for the shape. After processing, treatments, assembling and finishing, the structure is ready to be delivered to the client. Following the first models, thanks to their success, the client decided to realize an entire family of products with the same idea.

design lamp

DESIGN SECTOR

Laga realize the first samples from the Designer’s project, once approved the production has started.

SOLUTION: To realize the lamp, Laga started from the Designer’s project, then did a feasibility study, proposing the most suitable materials and treatments for the product. In collaboration with the Client, Laga realized the first samples and after the approval the production started.
