Vista Motion designs, develops and manufactures vulcanization mold tooling in-house. This reduces lead times and ensures an optimized design for the applications.
Raw Rubber
Vista Motion sources rubber from plantations worldwide to ensure the highest quality and consistency of our products.
Rubber Compounding
With 28 years of experience and significant ongoing investment, Vista Motion can meet our customers’ requirements even in the most challenging applications and operating environments. Our computer-controlled automated mixing systems guarantee the production of the correct ‘recipe’ from the extensive collection developed by Vista Motion.
Calendering / Mixing
Vista Motion’s in-house rubber mixing and formulation guarantee the delivery of the appropriate rubber, at the right price and time, optimizing the service and quality offered to our customers.
100% Testing of Rubber Batches
All rubber batches undergo thorough control and 100% testing before being approved for production. This guarantees traceability throughout the manufacturing process and ensures that the rubber batch meets the customers’ specific requirements.
Goods Receiving
Vista Motion’s spacious and contemporary goods receiving facilities ensure an efficient process with our well-organized storage systems.
Metals Inspection
All parts are thoroughly inspected based on detailed specifications. With full CMM capability, Vista Motion can accurately verify received goods before accepting them for production.
Metal Preparation
To achieve successful vulcanization and bond integrity between rubber and metal interfaces, it is essential to prepare metals in a specific and controlled manner. This is typically done through a combination of shot blasting and applying bonding agents.
Vulcanisation
The vulcanization of the rubber compound is achieved under tightly controlled conditions and machine parameters specific to each production batch. This process also creates a strong bond between rubber and metal, if applicable. It is followed by a strictly adhered curing period, which is crucial for optimizing the performance and lifespan of the rubber. With over 150 transfer, compression, and injection molding machines, Vista Motion has both the capacity and expertise to meet our customers’ growing demands.
Final Inspection
After vulcanization, products undergo inspection and cleaning. If needed, parts may undergo additional machining, stress relieving, or coating application to prevent corrosion.
Assembly
Products can be supplied individually or as part of a system or assembly. In cases where there is a need for large-scale overhaul and replacement of existing products, it may be possible to reclaim and refurbish the existing metals. This approach can help reduce lead time and improve the sustainability of materials.
Test and Verification
Vista Motion has extensive test facilities to confirm the performance of components through test and verification procedures. Multi-axis dynamic testing can simulate real-world combined load cases. Lifetime and residual life tests can also be conducted as needed.
Packing and Despatch
After final inspections and testing, the parts are properly packaged to ensure safe and secure transportation without any damage, in accordance with the agreed shipping mode.
