Making tools – for your volume production needs
Our services includes the following, either as a complete package or as single offers. All our tools are manufactured in Germany.
Evaluation of manufacturability
Our team of experts from ares such as tool making, manufacturing, QA, project management, procurement, logistics and marketing will evaluate your requirements regarding manufacturability and offer ideas for the realisation.
Simulation
We will evaluate manufacturability with the aid of state of the art simulation software before production.
Method planning
As a first step, we will provide a plan that shows all intended steps and sections of the project.
Tool construction
On the basis of the evaluation and planning, our experienced employees will create a tool construction within modern 3D CAD-software.
Tool production
After procurement of raw materials, the framework body (steel or cast iron) and standard parts is complete, we will start machining the individual components. Final adjustments and assembly of all components will be completed by our competent tool makers.
Optimization and trials
After completion tools will complete trial runs on our presses. If desired we can accompany and oversee trials in situ on the customer's machine park. We gladly offer complete solutions, or specific individual scopes of order.
We manufacture the following types of tools:
Transfer tools
- Optimal material exploitation at maximum stroke rate
- Perfectly adjusted tool concepts for the required dimensional tolerances of the components
- Flexible usage of transfer systems by use of swivel and rotary grippers
- Integration of thread forming units with immediate checks of parts' quality and automatic rejection of faulty parts
- Tools with an overall length of up to 6,000 mm and a total weight of up to 32 t.
- Material thickness from 0.5 mm – 5.0 mm
Progressive tools
- Optimal stroke rate with short set-up times
- Perfectly adjusted tool concepts for the required dimensional tolerances of the components
- Integration of thread forming units with immediate checks of parts' quality and automatic rejection of faulty parts
- Tools with an overall length of up to 6,000 mm and a total weight of up to 32 t.
- Material thickness from 0.5 mm – 5.0 mm
Single tools
- For use on hydraulic drawing presses
- Designed to fit your requirements
- Tools with an overall length of up to 6,000 mm and a total weight of up to 32 t.
- Material thickness from 0.5 mm – 5.0 mm
In case you require modification of existing single tools into transfer tools, we can help you profit from increased demands and output combined with low process cost.
