Profile matching and extrusion simulation for optimal extrusion parameters

Every extrusion company is looking to eliminate costly profile production feasibility checks, as well as manual researches for similar profiles previously produced.

To meet these needs we have designed ULIXES – a complete suite to check aluminium profiles feasibility, performs extrusion simulation to find the optimal extrusion parameters. Forget about manual searches, long trials and save precious time!

Thanks to ULIXES there is no need of human intervention as every research is performed automatically and in a matter of seconds. If you are searching for a solution to reduce the costs of die feasibility analysis, ULIXES is the right choice for you.

ULIXES PROFI for Profile Matching and ULIXES OPTI for Optimal Extrusion Parameters

Ulixes performs extrusion simulation to find the optima extrusion parameters

Ulixes performes extrusion simulation to find the optimal extrsion parameters.

ULIXES PROFI performs a research in the company database looking for the best profile matching. In case it finds a similar one the module provides back the related extrusion parameters. In case no similar profiles are found ULIXES OPTI performes extrusion simulation providing back the optimal extrusion parameters by taking into consideration the different extrusion scenarios, based on press, number of cavities, profile length etc.

Connecting Ulixes modules with EMS 3rd Generation these parameters are then applied to the existing production runs, enabling the synchronization with the ERP for cost analysis and calculation.
