      What if plastic conducted heat like metal?

      New challenges require better materials. This applies to many components in all sectors, in the electrical industry, in mechanical engineering and medical technology, in heat sinks for batteries and fuel cells or in e-mobility in general. One solution to these challenges is high-performance plastic compounds that conduct heat like metal and insulate electrically like ceramics. Thanks to PlastFormance technology, it is possible to incorporate pure tungsten as a filler in the compound and produce materials with a higher density than lead. In principle, the use of electrically conductive fillers in engineering plastics enables electromagnetic shielding and electrostatic discharge. The conductive compounds have decisive advantages over metals or coatings: they offer great design freedom, the finished parts are lighter, easier and cheaper to produce and more robust. Complex component geometries in particular can be realized without time-consuming reworking. In addition, the costs of injection molding are often much lower.

    2. When stamping and overmoulding come together

      When stamping and overmoulding come together

      The combination of stamping and overmoulding is our key competence, and a competitive advantage for our customers: overmoulding insulation of stator stacks with straight or slanted poles and with or without compensation (PA, PBT, PET etc.), sigmasoft software for simulations, this technology also enables high-quality and reliable insulation for high-voltage applications, excellent thermal conductivity, high voltage and media resistance design freedom, two different heights of overmoulded stack – one tool, tools are designed and produced in-house.

    3. Zahnräder

      Zahnräder

      Gears, spur gears (straight teeth) in various diameters and colors made of engineering plastics, precision-machined using multi-cavity molds. Suitable for industrial applications and white goods (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators). In-house quality assurance: The high-precision FRENCO ZWP 06 double-flank rolling tester guarantees micrometer-accurate pitch, concentricity, and tooth flank quality – for durable, low-vibration gears. Advantages over metal gears: - Low weight and good damping for efficient drives. - Quiet operation, corrosion resistance, and integrated functions (shaft, coupling, detent lugs). - Economical for high-volume production due to injection molding scalability. Applications in industry and white goods: - Small drives in household appliances: coffee machines, mixers, fans, flap actuators. - Gearboxes in power tools or as hybrid stages (metal/plastic) with moderate loads. - Precision components in consumer products where low noise and cost are priorities. -Gears in power tools with moderate loads or as intermediate stages in mixed gearboxes (metal/plastic).
