Processes.
A strong industrial partner controls all processes. Team Industries assists you in all necessary operations.
Co-engineering
Our Engineering staff is multi-disciplined and can carry out a wide range of Engineering activities starting from Product Design, over Product Development till Process Development. A centralised Cost Calculation department is supporting you for all your requests, able to provide you the lowest TCO depending on your location versus our factories, and considering the lowest carbon footprint.
Software
A centralised ERP system, (M3) linked to our Business Intelligence Tool, QlikView, supports us to easily evaluate the available production capacities within our Group, taking into consideration your orders and forecasts. Engineering is using Software such as ProEngineer/CREO, ProMechanica, ANSYS, Inventor, AD Inventor, AutoCAD, TOPS 800 (CNC) with a high focus on 3D data utilisation to link and integrate all systems (automation, connection, cloud computing, big data, MES)
Prototyping
From a preliminary sample, to a First Article Inspection part, over pilot batch and start of serial production, we manage for you detailed project planning and follow up. We keep projects in hands from first ideas up to product.
SheetMetal Processing
The process of sheet metal processing involves several critical stages, each designed to transform raw sheet metalplates into precise and functional components.
It all starts with cutting, where larger sheets, from maximum 6×2 meter are punched, laser-cutted, plasma-cutted or waterjet-cutted into ‘flatstates’.
These flatstates can then be bended, a process employed to shape the metal into the desired geometries. This can be achieved through traditional bending or bending with the robot, stamping, or roll forming. Throughout these stages, advanced technologies like CNC-machines ensure high precision and consistency. Post-processing steps such as deburring and finishing are essential to remove any sharp edges and enhance the surface quality.
Connecting
The process of connecting sheetmetal components is vital for creating robust and durable structures. Team Industries applies riveting, clinching, and gluing. Following strict EN-certifications, including the most demanding ones for the Railway Industry. Clinching is a method to join sheets, without the need of fasteners.
Clinching is often valued for its speed, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to join dissimilar metals.
Gluing, or adhesive bonding, according DIN6701, involves using industrial adhesives to bond steel components. This method is beneficial for creating smooth, clean surfaces, particularly valuable in applications demanding airtight or watertight sealing.
Welding
MAG/TIG welding certified according ISO 3834-2 and EN 15085 CL1
Laserwelding (with and without cold wire feed)
Spotwelding till 4 mm thickness
Team Industries contains more than 150 manual weldingposts, and more than 20 weldingrobots of which 2 RobotLaserWelding installations, and 100 EN 3834/EN15085 Certified welders spread over all TEAM locations.
Advantages: Team Industries welds all types of materials such as Aluminium, Stainless steel, Steel alloys.
Machining
Processes such as milling, drilling, turning and machining, are required to provide high precision and accuracy to complex welded constructions.
Finishing & Coating
The finishing and coating process enhances both the functionality (high corrosion protection) and aesthetic appeal of components. Among the various finishing techniques, powder coating, and wet painting, are available and integrated in the different factories of the Team Industries Group.
Powder Coating is a dry finishing process where a powdered pigment is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the workpiece. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces, forming an even coating. The coated part is then cured in an oven, where the powder melts and forms a smooth, durable finish.
Wet Painting involves applying liquid paint to a workpiece using various methods such as spraying, brushing, or dipping. The paint comprises pigments, binders, solvents, and additives, which combine to create a fluid coating. Once applied, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind a solid and durable film.
Screen Printing, also known as silk screening, is a printing technique used to apply ink onto flat or slightly curved surfaces through a mesh screen.
Assembly & Quality
During assembly, precise alignment and fitting are crucial to maintain mechanical integrity and functionality.
Quality control measures, such as automated inspection and testing, are typically integrated to verify the performance and reliability of the assembled products.
