GDC CAST

GDC CAST is a cast-iron foundry with cutting-edge technology, reliable top quality production and a low environmental impact.
GDC Cast Spa, located in the industrial area of Arzignano (VI), is part of ISGEV Spa, which has been designing and producing electric motors since 1948, and is present on the Italian, European and American markets with its reliable, top quality motors.

GDC stems from the ISGEV need to have guaranteed, reliable, continual production of the primary cast iron and aluminium components of its electric motors; to reduce its dependence on external suppliers, have more flexible management and maintain, for ongoing improvement, the product’s top quality standards.
Its goal has always been to create a highly automated foundry; to satisfy not just the internal ISGEV Spa demand, but also that of new clients needing reliable production, continuously researched and innovated, matched with a top quality level.

DISAMATIC, A GUARANTEE

A cutting-edge plant, DisaMatic 130, unique in Europe for certain aspects.

A 6000m2 surface, a 24 ton daily production capacity, with care over each single detail; so much so that the plant’s earth plant mixer is fully covered in ceramics, to be extremely efficient.

THE PLAQUE

Raw materials are smelted by two electric, average frequency, 4ton/h, induction furnaces, while casting is performed by a completely automatic, pressurised electric induction furnace.
DisaMatic 130 forming plant (600x480x380mm dies– speed 380 dies/h), equipped with automatic plaque exchanger and coresetter.

FAST PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

GDC Cast has its own plastic prototyping department which can be used to create samples directly in the plant. Giving clients the chance to see the effective product result fast as an initial prototype, fully processable and modifiable.

This stage is followed by a product modelling one, performed in the company’s model department. This operation is done using a 3D laser printer.

3D SCAN

A cutting edge technology. Based on existing pieces, we can trace back to the initial die thanks to an anthropomorphic instrument (multi-axis robotic arm) which laser scans the product’s surfaces and provides a mathematical drawing with a maximum error margin of one tenth of a millimetre.

This is a really useful service for clients who already have old models, with no drawing, to go back to the original drawing; and for new models, where the scan helps check new piece conformity.

CAD DESIGN

For GDC Cast  3D is an important tool for accuracy, no waste or error processes.

Each project goes through a consultancy process during which the client is presented all doubts related to production difficulties and relative problem solutions.

MACHINING

GDC Cast can provide partial or total machining, based on the client’s request.

This service is offered thanks to collaboration with the ISGEV group.
