Characteristics that make it an ideal material for the following applications

After silicon and oxygen, the third most common material in nature is aluminum. the third most common material is aluminum. It is very malleable and non-ferromagnetic and can take the most varied forms. Among its most outstanding qualities are its high resistance to corrosion. In addition to being a good electrical conductor, it has a very affordable price compared to other metals.

However, it is a very soft material, so it is most often used in the form of an alloy. to use it in the form of an alloy with other metals. These alloys are made with copper, zinc, manganese, magnesium or silicon depending on the needs and properties to be enhanced. They are what is known as light alloys. They generally contribute to making aluminum stronger and have a high resistance to corrosion. But we can say that there are more than 1000 different alloys with aluminum.

During the second half of the 20th century, aluminum became one of the most widely used materials in the machining industry. one of the most widely used materials in the machining industry.. Thanks to its alloys and light weight, it is ideal for use in the structure of a wide variety of means of transport such as aircraft, trains, streetcars, cars and buses. But it is also used in the production of parts in the automotive industry, in the manufacture of industrial machinery and various tools, in the electrical industry, in thermal installations, etc.

Among the physical characteristics of aluminum that make it a very suitable material for use in the machining industry, we can highlight:

• Offers very good thermal good thermal conductivity. Its ease of heat dissipation makes it an ideal material for the development of radiators and heat sinks, to give two examples.
• It has a high high resistance to corrosion, especially in humid environments. This property is highly valued by the architectural and mechanical industries, in addition, of course, to its light weight.
• It is a good electrical conductor.
• It is a material that combines properties such as being ductile, malleable, and with a low melting point.. All this means that little energy is required in the production of parts through different processes such as injection molding, extrusion and machining.
• You can visit can be recycled an infinite number of times.

What tools are used in aluminum machining?

To machine aluminum, it is necessary to use cutting tools with special cutting tools with special characteristics. At Delinte, we use the highest quality materials, so that they are highly efficient and durable. The biggest problem encountered in the machining of aluminum and its alloys is chip removal. Therefore, tools with optimum cutting geometry are desirable.

The cutting speed must also be adapted to the machining process, the type of alloy, etc.

Advances in technology have led to the development of tools with hard coatings such as DLC (carbon as diamond), which are characterized by their high durability. Others are also used in metallic carbide and, for alloys with low silicon content, those made of high-speed steel.

In Mecanizados Delinte we use the most durable and resistant materials in the manufacture of all our products such as the
electrical metallic cabinets

The digital revolution has already entered the field of machining such as control room consoles or shelter cabinets, as it has in many other areas of society and industry.

A new industrial revolution

If we add technological advances to the demands of an increasingly demanding market, we can speak of a new industrial revolution taking place. The need to improve market competitiveness is combined with industrial automation processes. This is manifested in a constant evolution in the field of machining that seeks to offer individualized solutions to the needs of different companies.

Adapting 4.0 technology to machining processes means investing in the digitization of companies. However, it is an investment that pays off in a very short time, since it enables us to increase quality standards, reduce manufacturing times and improve both performance and benefits.

New technologies make it possible to maintain total control of the entire production process thanks to automation and connectivity. It is true that it is necessary to have highly qualified personnel who know how to proactively solve any problems that may arise during the process. And perhaps this is one of the reasons for the relatively late entry of digitization into the toolmaking and metal machining industry. The integration of specialized software and hardware is essential.

Focus on new materials and process innovations

The machining industry also tends to echo the demands and needs of today’s society. We are increasingly committed to the use of new materials, the search for greater energy efficiency and the achievement of a circular economy that reduces waste and contributes to the care of our planet.

In this sense, the main R&D&I centers are starting to talk about additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, thanks to which it is possible to manufacture customized and personalized geometric parts. A technique that makes it possible to reduce the intermediate processes and with them the manufacturing time of each part. In addition, the same strength, robustness and performance as in conventional manufacturing systems is guaranteed.

The advances of the digital world in the machining industry tend to the development of a more flexible type of machinery that ensures greater reliability, the ability to self-learn is implicit in the degree of automation. Greater control over all production processes is made possible and, in addition to a significant increase in production, there is a significant reduction in errors. Obviously, all of this results in greater optimization of production processes.

But it is important to go further and set goals, such as understanding the virtual world to implement solutions for the real world. Virtual reality, along with artificial intelligence and big data are concepts that will be key in tomorrow’s industries.

At Delinte we are already committed to offering our customers the customized solutions they need to create a motor center cabinet as well as the rest of the products we manufacture. Our staff is constantly being trained to adapt to the use of new technologies and to be able to offer the best quality standards.

Emission measurement cabinets must be made of materials that guarantee their resistance and insulation, to ensure that the equipment they protect is kept in perfect condition. In both the manufacturing and installation processes, special consideration must be given to the following points electrical installation finishesThe safety of the doors and the stability of the floor, in addition to assessing all the elements that guarantee the safety of the technicians who have to access them.

Key features

In this sense, the shelter cabins must have enough space for technicians to carry out maintenance and inspection activities of the different equipment. Obviously, the final size of the measuring cabinets will be related to the equipment and accessories that they must house. Their dimensions usually range from 7 to 15 m2, to support the size and weight of the equipment. In addition, it is recommended that there be a margin of about 80 cm with the rear wall to allow for easy connection and checking of the different devices.

The electrical installation should be done in two or three phases and have a physical grounding. Of course, it must be provided with thermo-magnetic power cut-off devices, as well as signals according to the voltage and current of the installed load. The boards must be marked in accordance with current regulations. And, where appropriate, the measuring cabins must also be equipped with lightning arresters. The lighting must be explosion-proof and must allow the operator a proper view of all equipment.

The door must ensure that it closes securely and as tightly as possible, preventing the passage of dust and small animals. And, likewise, to have the necessary security measures in place to prevent access by outsiders and theft.

The cabins must have a ladder that allows access to the equipment located on the roof. In addition, it must have a perimeter handrail that delimits the safety space. Mobile stations must have levelers that allow horizontal adjustment and guarantee the stability of the different equipment.

Specialists in emission measurement cabinets

Mecanizados Delinte is a reference company in the construction of shelter cabins for environmental measurement and sampling stations. Our job is to manufacture the cabin, although we also collaborate with the customer in everything related to the installation of the equipment.

Another of the products we manufacture are measuring stations that are located on rooftops, following IP65 standards: dust-tight equipment and protected against sprayed water. E IP66: dust-tight and protected against powerful jets of water.

We install control cabinets all over the world.

At Delinte, we have been manufacturing traffic regulators for SpainThe company’s products are also used in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. As a base material we use galvanized steel or stainless steel that offer adequate resistance to atmospheric agents and also to possible acts of vandalism. In any case, we ensure that all our access control cabinets are made of materials that have passed the most rigorous tests for resistance to water, dust and especially the corrosive maritime environment.

At Delinte we always add top quality raw materials to the experience and to the experience and know-how of our team, so that our control cabinets stand the test of time very well.

In addition, we also manufacture auxiliary equipment for tunnels, toll parking, road signaling, etc.

Tailored to the needs of our customers

Obviously the function of the control cabinets is to protect the equipment containing the protect the equipment they contain. Electronically controlled access provides users with great flexibility. All the compartments of our cabinets are specially designed to house and protect the different electronic systems, but they can also be adapted according to the needs and requirements of our customers.

The cabinets for the control of gauging control are becoming very important in the times we live in. The pandemic caused by Covid-19 means that access to different locations and venues must be more tightly controlled. Having automatic control mechanisms is a great advantage.

The access control systems can be located in communities of neighbors, in garages, in companies or in other types of spaces that need to manage who enters and who does not. These control systems are designed to function in such a way that the technology they house can provide sophisticated security solutions. Our access control cabinets have to be effective for to allow the installation of control software, which ultimatelyThe software is ultimately responsible for allowing or disallowing people to enter the protected areas.

The access control system must allow the identification of the user. user identification through different types of methods. These can be personal cards, secret codes, biometric recognition, etc. But they can also provide other types of solutions such as time control, capacity control, localization, etcetera.

In each of the accesses or doors, one of our access cabinets will be installed in which the readers will be placed, which are the ones that check if the userss have access permits to the protected zone or area. These accesses can be by proximity, for example, using identification cards, by radio frequency through a remote control, or even by Bluetooth, which allows cell phones to be configured as identification devices. A more sophisticated solution, which is also used, is the biometric fingerprint.

On the other hand, access control systems can be stand-alone, i.e. there is only one basic control that gives access to the door. Or they can be centralized, whereby several readers are placed and have to communicate with each other.

Traffic is regulated in different ways, through agents, traffic lights, various signals, time and parking restrictions, the use of reversible lanes, etc. Signaling becomes a fundamental part of traffic control, helping to regulate traffic and make it as safe as possible.

Its function is to guide the driver at all times, indicating the difficulties he will encounter along the way and giving him the necessary guidelines to overcome them successfully. Safe circulation must be based on the principles of safety, fluidity, comfort, economy and non-pollution.

But signaling and control require sturdy, secure structures that stay in place to do their job properly.

In machining
Delinte
we have been a reference in the construction of access control cabinets for more than 30 years. The necessary software is installed in them so that everything works correctly and at the same time they are always connected to the control panel, which can make decisions and modifications when necessary.

Types of cabinets

• Roadside video surveillance cabinets are becoming essential for speed controls.
• The function of the SOS lockers is to provide access to safety equipment when an emergency arises on the road, especially in conflict zones such as tunnels. They allow users to communicate with the control center personnel.
• The gauging cabinets help to control access to certain spaces such as hospitals, parking lots, etc., being an excellent support for security control and video surveillance.

The advance of technology coupled with urban development, including of course traffic control, means that we are moving towards the concept of smart city. In this sense, we are also working on the creation of innovative products that allow us to adequately protect the hardware and software that is so necessary for the proper functioning of the different aspects of these cities.

ISO standards are responsible for ordering the management of companies in different areas. Their compliance is voluntary, however, they are highly recognized internationally. These are standards and guidelines that seek to orient, coordinate, simplify and unify criteria in order to reduce costs and increase the effectiveness of companies, as well as to homogenize the characteristics and quality and safety parameters of products and services.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 forms the basis for industry-specific standards. This document ensures the ability of organizations to adequately meet customer expectations. Achieving this involves implementing significant improvements in the efficiency of the entity, but also in the quality of the products, minimizing errors and increasing productivity.

By obtaining ISO 9001 certification, Delinte makes it clear that we are a stable competitor in the market. Our methods are based on the good quality of our products and our service, keeping us at the forefront of our sector with efficient management rules and the adoption of continuous improvements.

ISO 9001 certification is very important to ensure the proper functioning of companies, SMEs and organizations of all types. However, welded fabrication companies have specific certification systems, due to the fact that it is essential to have certain technical knowledge and experience to guarantee the quality of the welding work, which must be evaluated before, during and after the process.

EN 15085 certification

EN 15085 is composed of a series of standards of the European Committee for Standardization, which includes criteria for the production, overhaul and maintenance of railway vehicles and parts and the welded fabrication of metal materials intended for this purpose. This standard demonstrates that Mecanizados Delinte has total control over the welding processes, producing parts that fully meet the quality expectations of our customers.

Not only are quality controls performed on the final product, but controls are established at the beginning of the product design, followed by the selection of the main materials and appropriate consumables. In addition, the personnel who will participate in the welding must have the documents proving their professionalism.

EN 15085, which determines the appropriate quality conditions based on the fusion welding method, is accepted in virtually every country in the world, including the United States and China.

Since 2015, in DELINTE we materialized this commitment to quality by obtaining ISO 9001:2008 certification and EN 15085-CL2 certification for the welding of metal structures for the railway sector, which distinguishes us in terms of quality in the welding process.

We could say that the first electric train was the one designed by Werner Von Siemens in 1879 in Berlin. In Spain, the first electrified line is considered to be the Gergal- Santa Fe (Almería) section, which was inaugurated in 1911.

Electrical circuit of the trains

The electrical circuit is responsible for supplying power to the trains. It consists of a series of installations that are in charge of adapting the electricity and the correct operation of the motors, in addition to ensuring that electricity reaches the train from the installations along its entire length.

Trains demand a high power of electricity, we are talking about voltages ranging from 1500 to 3000 Vdc. Originally, the trains had their own power plants, but this was expensive and impractical once power plants began to operate close to urban centers. Even so, it is necessary to convert the high voltage energy with the one that needs to be injected to the catenary, for this purpose there are the substations.

There are two ways for trains to capture electricity, through an electrified third rail, a system used in Germany and other parts of the world. Or through an overhead contact line, called catenary, the system used in Spain. The train or tramway accesses electricity through the friction of the trolley or pantograph located in the power car. Catenaries can be powered with both direct and alternating current.

Train motors are in charge of converting electrical energy into mechanical traction, which is, after all, what produces the movement of the railroad. The motors and the equipment that make their operation possible are installed in the power car.

Finally, the return circuit is the one that facilitates the return of the energy used by the motors back to the substation.

Safety systems

Of course, the circuit is equipped with a series of safety systems that cut off the electricity supply if any anomaly is detected. The main safety systems are located in the substations, which automatically check for problems up to three times. If confirmed, power is suspended until the maintenance team fixes the error.

Extra-fast circuit breakers are the safety system installed on the train itself. In this case, it is up to the driver to reset them if they jump. Of course, lightning conductors are installed along the substations and the catenary.

At Delinte we are specialists in the installation of metallic electrical cabinets and racks for train control. They are installed inside and comply with the UNE-15085-CL2 standard in which Delinte is certified for aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel constructions.

For this reason, almost all major cities have vehicle counting systems and some essential elements to regulate traffic to try to make it as smooth as possible: traffic lights.

Traffic lights are fixed signaling elements consisting of three lights: red, amber and green according to color conventions, through which traffic flow is regulated. On December 9, 1868, the first traffic light was installed in London following the design of John Peake Knight. It needed a policeman to activate it. Until relatively recently, traffic lights regulating traffic at intersections followed fixed patterns.

Today, thanks to technological advances, most cities have implemented variable-action traffic light systems that regulate the timing according to the traffic density at any given moment.

The traffic light system in large cities

We must understand that traffic lights in a city do not act in isolation, but are connected to a large network that is controlled from a central office. From this location, the correct operation of the traffic light network and the general traffic conditions in each area of the town is regulated, and the user can interact with the different equipment at any time to change the programming if necessary.

The entire network of traffic lights in the cities is connected to monitoring software, so that if there is damage at an intersection, the control center receives an alarm that pinpoints the location of the problem. At each intersection where there are traffic lights there is a local controller, which is a kind of electronic programmer that coordinates the traffic lights at the respective intersection. It is the real control brain of the intersection, in charge of deciding the timing according to traffic volumes, pedestrians or predetermined parameters calculated on the basis of traffic studies.

The controllers are equipped with a control card where the programming of the intersection is recorded and also have software that allows connection to the central computer. Obviously, installing this equipment at street level means that it must be located in a secure space that allows it to be protected from atmospheric agents and vandalism. Delinte has been a reference company in the construction of road signaling cabinets for more than 30 years. In fact, lately we are also specializing in cabinets for SMART-CITIES management and control. Our cabinets are made of galvanized steel or stainless steel and have passed the most rigorous tests for resistance to water, dust and maritime environment.

Electrical metal cabinets and access control cabinets are some of the products most demanded by the companies we work for. To contact us simply call 916 77 03 64 or fill out the form on our website and we will contact you to inform you and provide you with the appropriate budget.
