今年，工厂将添加一 台新设备，协助操作 工人浸渍大型铸件。
casting process allowed us the most geometric freedom and the ability to keep the walls thin in noncritical areas. Aristo Cast provided in-depth support and design for manufacturing, and they kept us up to date during the fabrication of our parts with progress reports and pic- tures along the way,” said Schmidt. “Te team here was impressed with the fit and finish of all of the parts and the end customer was impressed with the light weight of the prototype product.”
Anticipating Needs
Another key to Aristo Cast’s success lies in providing model customer service. “We track orders so closely that we know a customer is
going to reorder something before they do, and we’ll start running it,” said Walla. “Everybody’s so tight in today’s economy, they want to be able to place the order and have it next week, so we keep ahead of the game.” Te company recycles its scrap, and every sprue poured is fitted with a coupon that is removed and sent to spec- trometry for quality assurance. “For every alloy and for every part, [production
requirements] vary,” Walla added. “Te number of coats of ceramic depends on the alloy, for example.” Te ceramic shell removal process varies, as well, and the operators are skilled at making those determinations to ensure part quality. “We talk about each job at the beginning and the end, to discuss what works and what could be done to improve the process next time,” she said. With knowledgeable staff, a solid base in investment
casting, a growing prototyping business and magnesium use projected to increase, Aristo Cast holds great promise for the future. Its customers know they can depend on its performance and willingness to take on the tough jobs. “Henry Ford said, ‘Whether you think you can or you
think you can’t, you’re right.’ So, if you go into a project with the attitude that it’s too difficult or it won’t succeed, then you won’t succeed. Never let it get that way with you,” said Ziemba. “I’ve set my goals and pretty much hit them all, but it’s more fun chasing the goal than it is once you achieve it, because it’s an end. And I don’t want anything to end. I’m having too much fun.” ■
艺，使我们有能力实现非关键部位的薄壁设计，以及在几 何形状设计方面有最大限度的自由。Aristo Cast公司为生 产提供了全面的支持和设计方案，通过生产进度报告及 图片，使我们在生产过程中及时了解进度，” Schmidt 说， “这里的团队对所有产品的质量和外观感到满意， 我们的最终客户也非常满意轻量化的原型产品。”
需求预测
Aristo Cast公司成功的另一个关键因素在于为客户 提供优质服务。
“我们跟踪订单非常紧密，因此，在客户再次订 购之前，我们就已经知道客户的需求，并开始安排生 产，” Walla说。“当前的经济形势令每个人都感到紧 迫，他们希望今天下订单，并在下周拿到产品，我们因 此能够保持业内领先的地位。”
公司回用生产中的废料，并在每个回用的浇道上贴标 签，经光谱分析以保证质量。
“每种合金和每个铸件的生产要求都不相
同，”Walla补充说，“例如，陶瓷涂层的层数取决于 所使用的合金。”陶瓷外壳的去除工艺也不同，操作人 员擅长根据情况做决定，以确保部件质量。她说：“为 了以后不断改进，我们会在每项工作的开始和结束时进 行讨论，讨论可行的方案以及可行的操作。” 有经验丰富的员工，可靠的熔模铸造生产基地，不 断增长的原型制造业务以及未来镁合金使用的不断扩 展，Aristo Cast公司对未来充满信心。公司的生产能力 和勇于迎接高难度产品的挑战，赢得了客户的信赖。 “Henry Ford说过，‘不管你觉得自己行或不行， 你都是对的。’做一个项目时，如果你认为它太难了或 者不会成功，那么你将不会成功。所以，永远不要采取 这样的态度，”Ziemba说，“我所确立的目标，大部 分已经实现了。但比实现目标更大的乐趣是追逐目标， 因为目标实现是终点，而我不希望看到终点，我喜欢体 验更多的乐趣。” ■
