TOOLING 4G – Advanced Tools for Smart Manufacturing

SCOPE

  • The TOOLING 4G Project includes 19 companies from the molds and plastics sectors, a software company and 11 non-business entities, including 1 sector entity and 10 entities of the National Science and
  • Technology System, with an innovation curriculum, around a industry and cluster.
  • It seeks to generate knowledge, anticipate and accelerate innovative capabilities and solutions for the international market within Cluster Engeering & Tooling.
  • The innovation of TOOLING 4G is focused on tooling value chains and involves:
  • - New molds and tools (integration);
  • - New processes and technologies of production and automation;
  • - New forms of organization of the productive system "tooling".
  • It is also expected to develop several innovations focused mainly on the materials, products and processes and in the endogenization of the technologies and organizational paradigms usually included in the concept of Industry 4.0.
  • The project is supported by ANI through the Incentive System for Business R & D - Mobilizing Programs and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through COMPETE2020 and Lisbon2020.

Safeforming

SafeForming – Intelligent System for Defect Prevention in Cold Stamping Components

  • Project name: SafeForming – Intelligent System for Defect Prevention in Cold Stamping Components
  • Project code: POCI-01-0247-FEDER-017762
  • Main Objective: Strengthening Research, Technological Development and Innovation
  • Region of intervention: Alentejo
  • Beneficiary entity: Toolpresse – Peças Metálicas por Prensagem, Lda.
  • Approval date: 10-01-2017
  • Start date: 01-01-2017
  • Ending date: 31-12-2019
  • Total eligible cost: 1.129.056,49 EUR
  • Financial support from the European Union: FEDER – 669.178,85 EUR
  •  SCOPE
  • The occurrence of defects in cold metal stamping components is the major inefficiency factor of this operation, leading to high unproductiveness and unforeseen costs that diminishes the competitiveness of companies in a demanding and often relentless market.
  • Given the impact and frequency that this incidents cause in companies’ business, it is urgent to develop methods that minimize its recurrence.

 

  • OBJECTIVES
  • The SafeForming project aims to create and make available a methodology for predicting the occurrence of cracks and other defects in the stamping of parts for the automotive industry, in particular thick parts of high strength steels.
