We live in a world that is advancing by leaps and bounds and this affects all sectors. The machining sector was not going to be less and at Delinte we strive every day to integrate new technologies in all our processes, such as the manufacture of metal electrical cabinets, shelter type cabinets, sample racks, etc. Our goal is to improve the quality of our products and to offer better services.
We are aware that in industrial processes there are no manufacturing technologies that are ideal in absolute terms. Each company adjusts the suitability of its production method according to the components to be manufactured. Recent trends tend to focus on shortening product manufacturing and delivery times. And in making high-value products that have a long shelf life.
Global competitiveness
The processes of digitalization and hyperconnectivity, towards which we are tending more and more, contribute to transform the structure of the different organizations but also to increase competitiveness at a global level. Keeping abreast of new technologies seems an absolute necessity for companies like ours. They are a fundamental part of the scientific-technical revolution that we are experiencing in the productive sphere.
Technological innovations in fields such as microelectronics lead to the creation of technological systems that favor production automation processes. The increasingly clear union of science and technology is leading to the emergence of advances in electronics, biotechnology, energy sources, space technologies and new materials.
The emergence of new materials
The emergence of new technologies has its origin in the search for solutions to various objectives, which focus on minimizing the sizes of some parts, finding cheaper forms of energy and more resistant and durable materials, etc. In practice, new technologies can be applied to the production of any type of good. No industry seems to be able to remain on the sidelines of this process.
The trend is towards advances in the production of products that save materials and energy through intensive information processing.
New materials are the post-World War II response to the need to produce materials with specialized properties. Science and engineering came together to modify the properties of matter. This led to the appearance of polymers, ceramics and, what affects us most directly: steels.
The trend to replace traditional materials with more resistant and durable ones has been growing since the last third of the last century. Research is focused on achieving specific properties in these materials. This is the case of resistance to high temperatures, mechanics, corrosion and increased energy efficiency, as well as reductions in density and weight, or increased conductive capabilities, textures, transparency, etc.
We have been able to obtain new metal alloys thanks to the combination of different minerals and the implementation of new processes. By controlling the cooling rate and solidification of the materials, it was possible to modify the microstructure of the materials and the properties associated with them, achieving, for example, high-strength steels.
In addition, weight is reduced, which has been especially important for the construction and automotive industries, as well as our own. We focus the production of our products, such as electrical enclosures, on materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and carbon steel.
