APPLICATION & TOOL TECHNOLOGY

Our application and tooling technology service portfolio is diverse.

We support you in the development of molded parts and injection molds, the integration of new processes, and all the way to process engineering implementation in the entire field of thermoplastics and thermoset processing. In addition, we are active for you worldwide and help you optimize existing processes. For this purpose, our practice-oriented technical staff as well as very well-equipped technical center are at your disposal.

SAMPLING & TEST SPECIMEN

Besides to the usual standard samples, we also offer sampling of new or problematic tools under close to series conditions – as part of initial, functional or follow-up sampling – in our technical center.

In the sampling and production of test specimens, the aim is to uncover weak points and optimization potential through a systematic approach in order to generate a mold suitable for series production.

We process thermoplastics, thermosets and silicones.

Our machinery includes

– 12 injection molding machines including most modern peripherals in the clamping force range up to 240 t
– Conventional thermoplastic injection molding machines
– various foaming technologies
– In Mould Coating
– Thermoset press
– Elastomer machine

The most commonly used screw range is between 15 and 45 millimeters, but individual requirements can also be met.

Thanks to decades of development work, we can offer special solutions to many problems and also have the corresponding hardware in-house.

Since we have developed or helped to develop many processes ourselves, we have mastered them, but we also know their limitations.

Another advantage is the immediate proximity to our analytical laboratory.

Thus, if required – under one roof – we can directly analytically evaluate your components or test specimens and the sampling result.

Component quality is the primary concern, and the critical question is, “Can process modifications be used to achieve the required component quality, or does the mold need to be changed?”

We will take care of that for you!

PROCESS ENGINEERING SUPPORT

In addition to a variety of standard procedures, we also offer

a whole range of special procedures.

  • Extensive injection molding technology and peripherals for many special processes
  • Methodical sampling, process analysis
  • Process optimization
  • Sampling of injection molds
    (thermoplast, thermoset and silicone injection molding, injection compression molding, transfer molding of thermosets, multicomponent injection molding, thermoplastic foam molding, insert molding and overmolding of inlays and foils, gas injection)
  • Hybrid material combinations
    (elastomer, thermoplastic, thermoset, glass, metal, etc.)

Your process is not running smoothly and you don’t know what to do?
Our colleagues will also be happy to come to you and support you on site!

SIMULATION

We support you in optimizing the molding & tooling design.
Computer-aided engineering (CAE).

Here we can support you with your requests with very short lead times and over 20 years of experience in simulation and develop an individual solution!

Achieve your set goals in molding tool design!

Injection molding simulation is used before actual article or mold implementation to avoid errors in the design phase and thus shorten project times.

Our main topics

  • Optimization of molded part and mold design through targeted interpretation of results
    Rheology (filling or filling simulation)
    Thermics
    Shrinkage and warpage
    Special processes (e.g. multi-component technology)
  • Thermoplastic and thermoset simulation
  • mechanical tool and article analysis by means of FEM calculation
  • Evaluation of customer simulations

CONSTRUCTION

The production and quality-oriented design of molds and molded parts is the prerequisite for economical and process-reliable production.

We support you with

  • the development of tool concepts and specification sheets
  • project management from concept to series production domestically and abroad
  • the assessment of existing molded parts and molds with regard to plastic-related criteria
  • Optimization of the geometry of the molded part with regard to weld lines, venting, warpage and strength problems.
  • flow and thermal optimization of molds with regard to shortest cycle times by means of simulation technology (filling simulations)
  • the structural mechanical component analysis (FEM)
  • the optimization of the component design / topology for weight, cycle and thus cost reduction
  • the processes of dynamic temperature control technologies
  • the reduction of deposit formation and the demolding force
  • Questions around the topic of generative toolmaking

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

At our institute in Luedenscheid, we have an innovation center for
additive manufacturing technologies (IAF).

Generative. Additive. Trendsetting.

In our innovation center for additive manufacturing technologies,
we can print components for you using various processes.

We offer you

  • FFF (up to 300°C melt temperature and continuous fiber possible)
  • FDM (ABS or PEEK)
  • SLA (various photopolymers with a wide range of properties)
  • SLS (PA 11, 12 and TPE)
  • Filament production of plastics with up to 400°C melt temperature and 4mm diameter
  • 3D printing process selection and part design support
  • Rapid tooling (production of injection molded components from printed plastic inserts)
  • Industrial 3D Printing
  • Long-term behavior of additive components
  • Production of prototypes and components in small series
