Specialist in springs and blades also focuses on laser cutting

Innovative machines make the production process more flexible and efficient, but usually also result in new opportunities. At Dalemans Industries, expert in the production of technical springs and custom-made industrial knives, a laser cutting machine, a fully automated production line and recently an induction furnace ensure even better quality and faster delivery. Customers can now go there for precision springs and knives as well as for all kinds of laser cutting work.

Dalemans Industries (Zonhoven) has specialized in the development and production of custom technical springs and industrial knives for more than sixty years. "Customers can come to us for blades for garden machinery, lawn mowers, lawn after shave (GAS) and tornado (TOR), for compression, tension, torsion, blade, motor and coil springs, clips, clamps, crimped wire parts and laser parts," says Sandrine Dalemans. "We produce everything to size according to ready-made drawing, model or technical specifications and according to DIN and ISO standards, both for small and larger production runs. We start from metal wire or bars from 0.2 to 35 mm, but also work with strip steel, spring steel, stainless steel or soft, non-hardened materials. All products are thermally treated in our electronically controlled furnaces and development and final control is done by software."

Laser cutting machine, production line and induction furnace

Quality and fast, reliable delivery are key. Therefore, the company invested in a Bystronic ByVention laser cutting machine, a fully automatic production line and recently an induction furnace. "Thanks to the production line, we can produce compression, tension and torsion springs and wire parts up to a diameter of 13 mm fully automatically. The laser cutting machine significantly increases flexibility. When the design is ready, we can immediately cut a prototype, adjust it immediately if necessary, and start production. Besides the production of springs and blades, we can offer all kinds of cutting work in a variety of materials, including ST-37, stainless steel 301 - 304, structural steel and manganese vanadium steel with a thickness between 0.2 and 6 to 8 mm," Dalemans explains. "To increase production capacity and improve quality through laser-controlled temperature measurements on the part to be hardened, we recently installed a new induction furnace in our hardening shop. Thanks to all the investments, we can perform the entire production in-house."
