Meusburger colour codes

Do you already work with the Meusburger colour codes? Each colour stands for a clearly defined tolerance. This allows us to work directly from the 3D model and makes work easier during 3D CAD design in mould and die making.

We have combined over 70 colour code variants for these standardised colour codes*. The defined colours allow you to easily identify the respective tolerance. All common CAM systems can recognise these colours and automatically derive the required tolerances from them. This allows you to go paperless and derivations from 2D drawings are no longer necessary.

*Coordinated with the Association of German Tool and Mould Makers colour codes

Further advantages

Transferability of models for production at other locations worldwide or different companies
Thread types defined by colours (e.g. RGB 255|255|0 = metric thread, RGB 211|45|96 = inch thread, etc.)
Time savings when calculating: calculator automatically recognises colours or tolerances and does not have to make any corrections

Automatic creation of deep hole drilling lists: features are read from the 3D model and correctly identified when imported into the deep hole drilling list
Only tolerances that Meusburger can also manufacture, including 0 PLUS and 0 MINUS
CAD template with our defined colours can be imported

The tolerances of the Meusburger colour codes are sufficient for your mould, your die and in jigs and fixtures construction. In most cases, 4 to 5 colours or tolerances are sufficient for this.
