Quality comes first

The Röth Guss promise

Consistent grade needs repeatable quality. That is why we simulate every casting before series starts — with MAGMA since 2008.

  • Simulated before we pour
  • Measured before series starts
  • Repeatable from good part to series

Quality promise

Consistent grade through repeatable quality

For our castings to keep a consistent grade, repeatability of quality is decisive. Besides standard quality-assurance measures we simulate every casting* before production starts. We have used MAGMA for this since 2008.

To check that the castings meet your dimensional requirements, we measure the sample casting with our optical measuring unit*. Before series production the part can still be changed and optimised.

From the simulation

What the simulation changes on the casting

Series-ready grey-iron gearbox housing
Fewer sample pours

Faster to series production

Simulation means far fewer sample pours. The casting moves faster from sample to series. You lose less time and can offer the product sooner.

Optimising casting properties

Simulation lets us predict and influence casting properties. We give design advice and can change and optimise the part together without delay.

Hidden defects

A quality-assurance tool

Cast iron can hold hidden defects as well as visible ones. Simulation reduces those too. Each casting is produced with more process reliability — and less risk in machining.

Energy and material

Energy and raw-material savings

Energy and raw-material use can be reduced through simulation. That affects the price of the casting and conserves resources.

MAGMA · since 2008

Casting optimisation through process simulation

We calculate filling and solidification before metal is poured. Gating, feeding and risks are set before series starts.

950°C

  1. Gating

    Through the gating system we steer a uniform mould fill.

  2. Gas bubbles

    MAGMA simulation lets us reduce gas bubbles to a minimum.

  3. Shrinkage cavities

    Simulation lets us steer the location and formation of shrinkage cavities.

  4. Hardness

    Optimising with MAGMA gives a more uniform hardness profile.

  5. Stresses

    We see stresses in the simulation and take corresponding measures.

Speed promise

6 weeks

We know how much delivery reliability matters. In the ideal case, depending on part complexity, we pour new parts in series 6 weeks after the order.
