Vito Rimoldi S.p.a.

Vito Rimoldi S.p.A. has been operating in the production and marketing of seals and technical items for industrial use since 1940.
We are interested in projects where the quality of the material, the processing and the technical content of the product are the priority for our Customer and, consequently, for us.
Service and flexibility have always been our focus. The mass production of tens or hundreds of million pieces go hand in hand with the production of smaller batches, and even the production of one individual piece.
Blanking is an important process in mass production
Blanking means defining a process that includes the knowledge of the material, the design of the die and its progressive stations, the use of suitable punching presses and the adoption of a method to control such process. Each variable must then be dominated, so as to ensure that a process which is by nature suitable for large series, is repeatable.
Surface treatments: These treatments are related to special steels blanking and they have multiple purposes. The mechanical parts that are the result of the blaking process feature sharp edges and surfaces with roughness levels that do not make them suitable to be used as they are. Thanks to these treatments it is possible to eliminate these imperfections, creating rounded edges defined and agreed with the Customer and smooth surfaces with low roughness levels (Ra < 0.2).
The improvement of the mechanical properties, especially the fatigue strength, that we were able to achieve by increasing the residual superficial stress, is the most remarkable effect that characterises our process and on which our Company continues its research activities.
A second important treatment is polishing. This does not influence the mechanical properties but reduces the level of roughness to very low values (even Ra < 0.1), so as to facilitate any pneumatic and/or hydraulic sealing requirements.
