Buvo Castings

Surface treatment

Buvo can also provide various forms of surface treatment if required for the product.

The most common surface treatment techniques are:

Machining

Thanks to an extensive range of machinery, Buvo is able to offer customers products that have been machined as completely as possible. The variety of the machines means that even highly accurate dimensioning can be achieved efficiently.

In the case of products that require multiple machining operations, the die-casting is transformed into a machined final product in fully automated machining stations.

Toolmaking

Thanks to its in-house toolmaking facility, Buvo is able to react quickly and flexibly to customer needs.

In the first place, our development department has many years of experience in making individual tooling. Furthermore, Buvo has access to an extensive range of toolmaking equipment and is capable of producing high-quality tooling within very short lead times.

Do you have an order for which you require new tooling? Or do you want to transfer your projects to a new supplier? Buvo will be delighted to help!

Foundry

The foundry is fitted out with 15 high-quality die-casting machines with closing forces ranging from 250 to 1,000 tonnes. Fourteen of these machines are equipped with Shot Control Technology, which allows demanding products to be manufactured reliably with a high degree of repeat-ability.

The Perfect Fit™ principle ensures that the die-castings are produced to exacting tolerances in the mould, thus avoiding the extra costs of a possible machining operation.

In addition to the conventional die-casting method, we also offer vacuum die-casting.

Quality

The ability to consistently satisfy quality requirements is one of the most important aspects on which customer confidence is based. This form of quality awareness is subscribed to throughout Buvo’s organisation and is highly visible in all aspects of operational management.

Buvo is ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified and therefore complies with the most important quality norm for customers in the automobile industry. This norm, which is a derivative of the ISO 9001:2008 norm, demonstrates that Buvo is synonymous with outstanding quality and focuses on continual improvement.

Development

Well begun is half done. Nothing is as critical for the success of a new product as the development and design engineering phase. This is because the decisions taken in the early stages largely determine the final costs of volume production.
Buvo’s extensive knowledge and experience in the field of die-casting, together with input from our customer, leads to the development of an optimised product for the chosen casting process. As a result, unforeseen costs are kept to a minimum.

Buvo uses SolidWorks development software, which is capable of reading all forms of CAD data (e.g. STEP, IGES, PRO-E and Parasolid) without difficulties.
