How do you manage to adapt your products to the real needs of the customers?
Many companies contact our commercial department with a problem, or to incorporate a magnet in their new product or system, without knowing what they need. IMA always strives to react to customer requirements and one method we can offer is computer simulation of magnetic characteristics, used as a process prior to the manufacture of the magnet. This helps the customer in meeting their needs, with the computerized creation of the product and the visualization of the magnet before producing it. This technique is a particularly confidence-building benefit for manufacturers in sectors such as Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics, Windpower, etc.
In our engineering department, the requirements that the magnet must have for the customer, are analyzed. Subsequently, it is designed taking into account the characteristics of each product, using latest-generation computer programs and magnetic simulators, where you can see the magnet before making it. Software used for the simulations, are pioneer programs that can improve the final product and help resolve the needs of the customer. For this very reason, IMA has made significant investments in specialized and professional programs.
In magnetic simulations, the type of material, shape and specific geometry that will be used according to the customer's requirements and the manufacturing process that the magnetic product will follow, is decided. Thanks to the automation of IMA’s manufacturing processes, total production control is obtained.

Once all the manufacturing and manufacturing processes have been completed, the magnets are transferred to the quality department. It is in the quality control laboratory, where a multitude of parameters are measured, to ensure the quality of the product. These products must pass mechanical and thermal stress tests, corrosion tests in climatic and salt spray chambers. X-rays are also used to analyze and verify the coatings and materials. Another important quality control measure is high-level verification by means of magnetic tests, where the magnetic quality of the materials, the orientation of the magnetic field and thermal losses are measured.
