Our tooling department has 40 employees working on the very
latest CNC machines. These are capable of producing even the most
complex injection moulding tools with weights up to 5,000 kg. In the
areas of CNC milling and CNC erosion, we run a flexible two-shift
operation in order to reduce delivery times and maximise machine utilisation.
Tool design and manufacturing are conducted using the very latest
CAD/CAM technology. And we train most of the specialists required
for these activities in-house. For this reason, training and ongoing
instruction count among the top priorities at Gebr. Schwarz.
All our tool designs are created in the 3D environment and it is these
that form the basis for our modern, flexible machining capability.
Our designers link up with external design offices in order to be
able to offer you a wide range of CAD/CAM systems to suit your needs.
The moulding tool manufacturing capability covers the following:
•
moulds up to a size of 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000 mm (5 t)
•
high-grade series-produced moulding tools for high batch outputs
•
cost-efficient moulding tools for pilot series and small batches
Before they leave the manufacturing department, these tools are tested
to ensure their functional integrity on our mould try-out press. Because
- for us - a good injection moulding tool is the key to good, high-quality
plastics components.
Cost transparency and on-schedule delivery are ensured by our computer-aided
management system in which each operation is individually recorded
and evaluated.
