For small series, we assemble the components by hand; for medium quantities, semi-automatically; and for large volumes, of course, fully automated.

Die Umsetzung des Bauteils erfolgt im Montagespritzguss. Damit wurde eine komplette Spritzgussprozesslösung ohne zusätzlichen Montageprozess für die Lagerstellen realisiert. Zunächst werden die Lagerböcke aus PPA gespritzt und im Umsetzverfahren innerhalb des Spritzgusswerkzeugs zur Anspritzung des Grundkörpers aus PPS mittels Handling-Hand automatisiert umgelegt. Somit werden werkzeugfallend zueinander bewegliche Teile in einem Fertigungsverfahren hergestellt.

Mould

Mold making as a guarantee of success The key to the economical production of high-quality plastic parts lies in a perfect injection molding tool. With over 20 years of experience, we stand for a variety of ideas and an outstanding reputation for special quality awareness. We have special know-how in insert/outsert technology and we manufacture high-end molds for the reel-to-reel process. All parts are manufactured entirely in-house in Germany. Our high standard is based on our experience from our own production. Our quality management ensures maximum efficiency. We develop our products in close cooperation with the customer and the requirements from practice. In this way, we lay the foundation for outstanding end products and smooth production right from the design stage. Our customers value our practical experience and an uncomplicated and flexible way of working.

The Starting Point – Conventional mould for plastic injection moulding The existing mould, made of mould inserts, plates, clamping plates, and standard parts, measures 125 x 125 x 130 mm and weighs about 60 kg. The project aimed to optimize the injection moulding process by reducing cycle time and simplifying the assembly complexity. Using additive manufacturing, the mould was redesigned and its topology optimized according to loads and requirements. The result: a smaller, lighter mould with integrated conformal cooling. The Challenge – Maintaining functionality During topology optimization, critical functional surfaces like mold half alignment, ejector system position, and machine interface had to be preserved. The design also accounted for subsequent clamping for CNC post-processing. Distortion during metal 3D printing posed another challenge. Optimal part orientation, support design, and process simulations helped detect distortion early and avoid scrap. The “first time right” principle is key here. The Approach – End-to-end process with Siemens NX From redesign, material selection, and cooling integration to FEM and cooling simulations, data prep, print simulation, metal 3D printing, finishing, and CNC machining, the process was digitally mapped and efficiently executed. Quality control was optical and tactile. The mould was then successfully deployed in production. The Result – A step toward the future of mould making The new 3D-printed mould features smaller dimensions and nearly 50% less mass. Reduced weight simplifies installation and lowers machine clamping forces. Thanks to conformal cooling, cycle times decreased by 30% while maintaining part quality.
