Meusburger stands for standard parts. For its customers, this standard is the basis for sustainable and economically successful business. However, if standard is not enough, the standard parts manufacturer also offers many components in custom designs.

Often there are long set-up times and unnecessary machine downtimes due to numerous temperature regulation connections. Not only time loss but also quality issues can also result through possible coupling errors. Meusburger offers the perfect solution for optimising set-up times with their system EU and USA multi couplers.

The Moulding Expo, the most important European event for the mould and die making industry, will take place in Stuttgart from 13 to 16 June 2023. Of course, Meusburger will be there again. In addition to its new products and a comprehensive range for injection moulders, the standard parts manufacturer will be presenting its latest campaign on cavities. Visitors will also be able to find out about standardised and customised solutions for hot runner systems. At the Meusburger stand E41 in hall 1, guests can even watch lunch boxes be produced live on an injection moulding machine from ENGEL.

At Meusburger you benefit from high-precision components to suit your requirements. As part of the latest campaign from the standard parts manufacturer, find out about the different products available in the range for cavities and why Meusburger can provide you with the best advice. The company has packaged the core message "Our heart beats for your cavity" in two creative videos.

In autumn 2022, Meusburger presented a mould making innovation: the E 3380 compact slide unit. It is the only compact slide unit with a prefabricated cooling hole and an integrated fountain on the market.

Meusburger offers standardised colour codes to simplify 3D CAD design for mould and die making customers. Each colour represents a clearly defined tolerance, and work can be done directly from the 3D model. Downloading is easy via the Meusburger website.

After a turbulent year in 2022, Meusburger continues to be a reliable supplier in the mould and die making industry. Despite the challenges in the past year, the standard parts manufacturer has optimised existing processes and further advanced digitalisation. The company recorded a 16% growth in turnover, partly due to increased costs and resulting price increases.

Meusburger has created a new hot runner controller especially for injection moulders. The profiTEMP IM is a compact, handy and powerful hot runner control unit, which features many advantages and easy handling. The device is available from stock at Meusburger.

Durability, precision and reliable availability are important factors when selecting guiding elements. In this area, Meusburger offers a wide range of high-quality products that are available from stock.

Whether standard moulds, sliding core moulds, change moulds or micro moulds – Meusburger offers a comprehensive range of products. Customers benefit not only from many years of experience, but also from production from high-grade steel, heat-treated for stress relief, as well as from fast order processing from request to delivery. As usual, all mould bases are available from stock. The standard parts manufacturer’s latest campaign consists of three statements combined with short videos and tells you exactly what makes the mould bases so unique.

At this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf from 19 to 26 October, Meusburger will focus on its standardised mould bases. The standard parts manufacturer will also present its range for injection moulders and both the standardised and the customised solutions for hot runner systems. A special highlight of stand C30 in hall 1 will be the ENGEL injection moulding machine, where visitors can watch a bread box being produced.

Many stamping die components such as strip guiding are usually produced in small quantities, which is quite expensive and time-consuming. That is why using standardised components is a good option. Advantages include immediate availability, the combination possibilities of the different types of strip guiding within the stamping die, and the provided CAD data for the design. The following takes a closer look at the strip guiding solutions available at Meusburger.

The new profiTEMP TM hot runner diagnosis device by Meusburger is especially designed for electrical testing of heaters and sensors as well as preheating and heating up the hot runner.

Meusburger offers you the right spring for every requirement - from very low to extremely high loads. The range also includes perfectly matched accessories for smooth installation of system and elastomer compression springs. All springs are available from stock at Meusburger.

2021 was complicated by both supply shortages and rising commodity prices, as well as limited customer visits due to the Covid situation. Despite these challenges, Meusburger was able to guarantee its customers continuous service and constant delivery availability. Thus, the standard parts manufacturer from Austria was able to achieve a turnover of 302 million euros thanks to the large warehouse and the high proportion of in-house production.

The powerMOVE lever operated lifting plate is an integral part of the hot half in our range of valve gate systems. Matched to the sizes in the plates range, various standardised powerMOVE units are available, which are customised according to the individual requirements. The arrangement of the nozzles can be freely configured.

Meusburger once again expanded its workshop equipment product range with innovations in almost all product groups in autumn 2021. In particular, the assembly equipment, consumables and EDM accessories product ranges were expanded.

The industry continues to face significant bottlenecks along the entire supply chain. As a consequence, prices for both raw materials and commodities continue to rise, along with massive increases in energy, freight and transport costs. This creates uncertainty for many companies.

From the 12–16 October Meusburger was represented at Fakuma, the international trade fair for plastics processing in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The range for injection moulders as well as the standard and custom hot runner systems were in the spotlight. The visitors in hall A2 at stand 2313 and 2317 also got the first look at Meusburger’s brand new trade fair stand design. Another particular highlight at the stand was the Engel injection moulding machine, which visitors were able to watch live in action producing bread boxes.

Absolute cleanliness is required in production under cleanroom conditions such as in the food or pharmaceutical industries. Of course perfect cleanliness is also essential for temperature regulation. The new low-leakage couplers from Meusburger provide the optimal foundation for this.

Meusburger’s extensive range of springs offers you the right spring for every situation - from very low to extremely high loads. To make the design process as simple as possible, Meusburger created a wizard for selecting the right system compression spring at the beginning of the year. Intuitively designed and easy to use, the wizard helps you select the right spring with just a few clicks. The configurable data is then available for download.

Ante-chamber bushes are used in hot runner nozzles for providing the required nozzle shape in the cavity plate. They help to quickly restore the gate point quality in applications with abrasive plastics. The ante-chamber bush ensures optimum cooling in the gate point.

The current sharp increase of raw material prices is causing uncertainty for many companies. The dramatic rise in costs is due to the increasing demand for steel which has resulted in a global steel shortage. This has caused not only supply bottlenecks but an extreme increase in prices. For example, the price for steel grade 1.1730 has doubled. From today’s perspective, it is unclear when the situation will ease again.

Is your screw plug leaky? With the exclusive sealing cone variant from Meusburger, you can prevent exactly that. Installation effort is 80% easier compared to conventional products thanks to the elimination of the Teflon sealing tape and the immediate tightness of the holes.

In today’s world, standardisation plays a major role for successfully operating a company in most industries. This also applies for the hot runner sector where substantial time and savings potentials are possible through standardisation. The FH hot runner mould from Meusburger is the perfect example. It consists of a complete mould base including a hot runner system.

Meusburger has been developing innovative solutions for die making for over 10 years. But how did they get involved in this area? Let’s take a look into the past.

Slide retainers are needed to hold slides securely in the end position when the mould is open. With the new E 3050 leaf spring roll stopper, Meusburger has created an exclusive and cost-effective alternative to existing solutions on the market. The compact design enables retaining forces of up to 140 N and is therefore also ideal for holding large slide bodies in their end position. In order to cover a wide range of applications, the leaf spring roll stopper is available in two different variations and three different leaf spring thicknesses.

In order to meet customers’ needs, the product range at Meusburger is constantly being expanded - like our workshop equipment range in mid-October. New innovations have been added to the product groups surface finishing equipment, assembly equipment and clamping equipment, and there were expansions in the areas of cutting tools and EDM accessories.

According to a study, a mould making company spends an average of 600 hours per year on machine setup. This time can be significantly reduced by using a zero clamping system. As renowned plate supplier, Meusburger offers an additional service for this. Now customers can order the plates they need to machine with the fitting holes for the clamping bolts of their zero clamping system. This new service will make the value chain for plate machining even more efficient.

Together with their customer Schmidt WFT, Meusburger has developed a CAD tool that is now available to you free of charge. This tried and trusted tool is coordinated with the Siemens NX CAD system and enables designers to carry out a simple and time-saving design process. Configurations of components which are native in the system can be selected and all parameters are automatically adjusted. Installation spaces and the colour table standards developed by Meusburger together with the Association of German Tool and Mould Makers are also integrated in the tool. The parts list is automatically updated when changes are made.

Guide pillars with a conical shank are new in the Meusburger range. They can be quickly and easily replaced directly on the stamping press, which makes them incredibly practical.

In addition to the existing sizes with slide surfaces of 12 x 10 mm and 15 x 12 mm, the tried and trusted E 3310 TT slide unit from Meusburger has been expanded with two new sizes with slide surfaces of 8 x 6 mm and 18 x 14 mm. The ready-to-use slide unit reduces overall costs during design and mould manufacturing. In addition, daily work is facilitated through the compatibility of the components and the direct download of CAD data including installation spaces. Small slide units are in particular demand for complex moulds.

The abrasive and adhesive wear that occurs during the stamping process on the cutting punch is minimised by coatings. This leads to a significant increase in the service life of cutting punches and consequently also reduces machine downtimes. In addition, the retracting forces are reduced due to the lower coefficient of friction. Different coatings are used depending on the materials to be punched. We give you an overview of the common coatings with their respective properties and application areas.

Meusburger offers the compact build-in cylinder with flange ideal for the smallest installation spaces. Thanks to uncomplicated incorporation and the supplied screws, it can be installed in no time at all. In addition, the two-step installation hole protects the sealing during installation. New in range is the build-in cylinder with flange with a piston diameter of 20 mm.

In addition to the classic materials for sliding guides such as steel and bronze, sintered iron has long been regarded as a strong alternative in die making. Thanks to its porosity, it is ideally suited for use as a slide bearing. It also offers high wear resistance and has very good emergency operating features.

The cavity pressure is an important parameter in process monitoring during plastic injection moulding. Pressure sensors are therefore indispensable for comprehensive mould monitoring. The use of high-quality piezoelectric sensors leads to optimal process quality and increases part quality sustainably. Two different technologies are available on the market for charge transfer: single wire and coaxial cables. We will show you the essential differences and characteristics of these two variants.

The Meusburger HWS 104 premium power clamp line features extremely robust and ergonomic design. This ensures simple, fast and reliable clamping of injection moulds and reduces your machine downtimes.

Reducing processing time and optimising costs is especially important for injection moulds with moderate shot weights. In addition, flawless surface quality is often required for injection moulded parts. 1.2738 TSHH steel has long been established on the market for this purpose. This steel is especially useful in the automotive industry, but also for consumer goods. Meusburger now offers cavity plates and standard plates in the material grade 1.2738 TSHH available from stock.

To meet the different requirements for cutting steels used in die making, Meusburger has a large selection of NE blocks for eroding that cover a wide range of materials - including classic steel for through hardening, high-speed steel, powder metallurgical steel and carbide. The blocks for eroding are mainly used for the production of cutting punches and dies and are available from stock in heat-treated and hardened versions. Their thicknesses are perfectly matched to the plates of Meusburger’s standardised die sets.

Position sensing plays an important role in a reliable injection moulding process. Whether for monitoring the end positions of a slide, ejector set or hydraulic cylinder – mechanical and inductive sensors have become essential in modern mould and die making. Here is an overview of the most common variations for position control of components in the mould.

Latch locks are used to control moulds with 2 split lines, often referred to as 3-plate moulds. With the new E 1817 latch lock, Meusburger has created an exclusive and cost-effective alternative to existing products on the market, such as round or flat latch locks. Thanks to its simple mechanical functional principle, the new latch lock offers maximum reliability in the control of 3-plate moulds. In addition, it features a compact design as well as low machining effort prior to its installation.

Meusburger offers the optimal solutions for machining hardened material up to 67 HRC. The hard milling cutters in different variations achieve highest precision and quality. Most milling cutters are used in Meusburger’s own production. This means that the range is perfectly matched to the requirements and materials in mould and die making.

At this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf, the Meusburger stand featured the new configurator for hot runner moulds. The new cavity pressure sensors and many other Meusburger products were also presented to visitors, alongside the unmissable hot runner and control systems, WBI Knowledge Management and ERP software.

During 2020, Meusburger fully integrates the hot runner and control systems specialist PSG, which was taken over in 2016, into the company and will then operate under the Meusburger brand. PSG remains a strong product brand.

At this year’s Blechexpo in Stuttgart (5-8 November), the Meusburger stand (hall 6, stand 6107) will feature the brand new standardised stamping and forming die set from Meusburger and Bihler. The companies WBI and Segoni will also offer a glimpse into their product range.

For easier demoulding of internal undercuts in plastic parts, ejectors for inclined ejection units can often be used instead of slide units. With the new E 3270 Inclined ejection unit, Meusburger offers a cost-effective and ready-to-use alternative to the existing ejectors for inclined ejection units on the market. The part geometry is created with a block for eroding which allows for maximum design flexibility. The DLC coating of the ejector rod ensures minimal wear, best sliding properties and ultimately a long service life.

From 16 –21 September EMO, the trade fair for metalworking, will open its doors in Hannover. Meusburger will be present again this year in Hall 5 at Stand E23. Visitors will be shown the extensive selection of materials as well as standard elements specially for jigs and fixtures construction.

In the middle of June, Meusburger expanded its workshop equipment product range with numerous innovations and additions in the machining, EDM accessories and clamping equipment product groups. Meusburger also has new products for measuring, lifting, and surface finishing.

According to the motto ‘everything from one source’, in addition to standard parts for temperature and end position control, Meusburger now also offers sensors for cavity pressure measurement. With the matching connecting cable, these are compatible with all systems for analysis currently available on the market. The range includes two types each for direct and indirect measurement as well as suitable mounting accessories and connection cables - as usual available from stock with simple CAD data download from the Meusburger web shop.

Meusburger’s comprehensive range of standard parts offers a variety of possibilities for attaching punches - with direct CAD data export and available from stock for fast design and production. Depending on the application and conditions, cutting punches can be mounted or attached differently in the die set. This article takes a closer look at the different types of punch attachments, including the ball-lock system.

With the offset cutting punches from Meusburger there are many possibilities to configure the contour of cutting punches individually according to your needs. In addition, different materials and head shapes as well as coatings are available. These can be selected quickly and easily using the cutting punches configurator.

With the E 7055 Locking cylinder, Meusburger offers a solution that eliminates the need for complex side locking of the slides. This simplifies the design with fewer components, saves space and in the end also saves valuable time.

With the new embossing elements from Meusburger, stamped parts can be marked quickly and easily. On the one hand this serves for clear traceability of stamped parts, and on the other hand for visual monitoring of the correct machine parameters.

The advantages of DLC coating are clear: longer service life and reduced maintenance. The new E 3174 flat guiding stock from Meusburger guarantees optimal sliding properties and minimal wear thanks to the DLC coated surface.

Stainless steel components are mainly used in processing corrosive plastics or in clean room technology (e.g. medical or food processing applications). Meusburger has expanded its product range especially in the temperature regulation components, ejectors, and demoulding product groups with numerous new stainless steel components.

Die Welt wächst zusammen – logistisch und wirtschaftlich. Die Globalisierung erhöht für den Werkzeug- und Formenbau den Wettbewerbsdruck, bietet aber auch die Chance, von Aufträgen in schnell wachsenden Märkten zu profitieren. Gleichzeitig dreht sich die Innovationsspirale immer schneller, was von den Unternehmen Anpassungsfähigkeit und Flexibilität abverlangt. Der hohe Kosten- und Zeitdruck zwingt die Betriebe somit zu einer ständigen Effizienzsteigerung. Ein hoher Grad an Standardisierung über die gesamte Prozesskette bietet hier eine ausgezeichnete Möglichkeit, um Kosten und die Durchlaufzeit von Projekten drastisch zu senken.

For wire EDM, a starting hole in the block for eroding is advantageous since otherwise the EDM contour cannot be optimally determined and it leads to high wear if the wire is introduced from the side. That’s why Meusburger now provides the new NE-Blocks for eroding with customisable starting holes.

Not all stress-relieving heat treatment is the same – because only a proper heat treatment process ensures the desired result in the end. That is why Meusburger has been using its own furnaces for almost 30 years. Meusburger stands for top-quality products – only flawless steel from the best-known steelworks can make it through the quality check. Standard parts that are heat-treated for stress relief are right at the beginning of the die and mould making process chain and form the basis of high-quality moulds and dies.

Increasing with high temperatures, leakage problems can occur at various points. Sooner or later, the typical brass plugs can lead to leaks – this results in machine downtimes and increased maintenance intervals. It is often assumed that the problem is the sealant used, but this is usually not the reason: Due to different coefficients of expansion of brass plugs and steel plates, setting occurs during heating and cooling of the mould which consequently leads to leakage.

The logic distributors by Meusburger in combination with the new limit switches with roller or dome plunger enable universal die set monitoring. The sensors of the limit switches are able to collect signals from different installation positions due to the adjustable roller. The manifold combines several of these signals without voltage drop. Simple and quick installation with maximum flexibility is ensured by the compact design and the many plug-in options.

From the 16th to the 20th of October 2018, the Meusburger Group will be represented at the international trade fair for the processing of plastics in hall A2 at stand 2313 and 2317. With the motto ‘everything from a single source’, Meusburger, PSG, WBI and the youngest group member, Segoni will present new and tried and trusted products and services in the field of mould and die making.

The new member of the Meusburger family of compact slide units is the E 3310 TT-Slide unit, which features a compact design. The ready-to-use slide unit reduces overall costs during design and tool manufacturing. In addition, daily work is facilitated through the compatibility of the components and the direct download of CAD data including installation spaces. Small slide units are in particular demand for complex moulds.

Especially for long side cut-outs, a longer strip guiding rail is necessary in order to completely cover the cut-outs and therefore prevent the lifting-off of the strip. For this reason, Meusburger now offers the E 5636 Strip guiding rail in the additional lengths 60 and 100 mm.

Marking stamps are used for clear marking of injection-moulded parts. To prevent unintended movement of the arrow insert, Meusburger now offers stamps with a latching function. These ensure even higher process reliability during the injection moulding process, and prevent parts being marked incorrectly.

Wolfurt/Austria. The internationally active Meusburger Group with headquarters in Wolfurt will be taking over Segoni. The Berlin software specialist will continue as an independent enterprise, and all employees will be retained. In the coming years, long-term investments will be made in the further development of the software. Alongside the knowledge-based management method WBI, customers of the Meusburger Group will also be supported in the area of ERP/PPS through the digitalisation process.

Moving components without hard carbon coating (diamond-like carbon, or DLC for short) can hardly be imagined in modern die and mould making. But what is so good about this coating? Through examples, Meusburger shows the clear advantages and uses of DLC coated standard components.

Meusburger presents exclusive and groundbreaking innovations for the modular concept at the Stanztec trade fair. The E 5076 and E 5078 Module guides are now available in configurable lengths.

Since October Meusburger offers a flat-face centring unit with round fitting. This innovative product in the range of Meusburger locks offers an additional option for a reliable and exact final centring of the mould at the split line face. Due to its geometry the new centring unit is optimal for moulds with unequal thermal expansion.

With the new NE-Blocks for eroding from carbide Meusburger offers the ideal compromise between wear resistance and fracture toughness. Carbide blocks for eroding are therefore perfectly suited for universal uses in stamping, embossing, bending, and forming.

The compact ejector accelerator from Meusburger is the ideal device for the safe and targeted ejection of complex parts: a single ejector is additionally accelerated by which snagging of the injection moulded part is avoided. The injection pressure is absorbed by the ejector base plate thus the ejection accelerator does not bear any load and has a longer service life. Due to the small component size a flexible positioning of the ejector accelerator in the ejector set is also possible when retrofitting.

Since October the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger offers cutting punches with freely configurable bases. The bases are specially manufactured to the customers' requirements with square, rectangular, and oblong cross sections. Short lead times are guaranteed by in-house production.

With the new compact slide units Meusburger offers a slim slide option especially for small installation spaces. In addition to their size the ready-to-use versions also convince by their quality. High wear resistance and best sliding properties are possible through the DLC coated slides. Furthermore highest precision in the design and the production of the new slide units guarantee maximum process reliability in the injection moulding process.

Since the introduction of the area of business 'Jigs and Fixtures' the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger has recorded a steady growth in customer clientèle who build on the quality and the reliability of immediately available standard components. The trend towards standardisation is taking more and more hold in machine and jig construction. A logical development, considering that increasingly shorter project lead times and efficiency improvements are required in order to survive on the international market with the progressing globalisation.

In die making, springs are an essential part to every die set. As a competent partner for die makers Meusburger offers, in addition to springs with round or rectangular cross section and elastomer compression springs in diverse shore hardness, also the most extensive range of accessories for spring installation on the market.

The new HSS ejector pins and DLC coated blade ejector pins with extra long blade from Meusburger guarantee long life and minimal wear. The use of high-speed steel and diamond-like carbon coating results in longer maintenance intervals and reduced downtimes. The two high-quality ejectors are as usual with Meusburger, available from stock.

Meusburger's convenient and cost-effective standard components guarantee an easy installation of die modules. Key advantages when using modules are quick tool changes and therefore reduced downtimes. The Austrian standard parts manufacturer offers users the possibility to use these advantages with its extensive range of products for the modular concept.

An innovative solution in the area of temperature regulation components assures more safety at work. Risk of scalding starts at a water temperature of 55°C, therefore an unintentional decoupling of the temperature regulation components can have fatal consequences. The new automatic safety hose coupler can prevent such accidents.

From 7th until 8th of June the wfb trade fair for die and mould making took place in Augsburg. Also this year, the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger was represented with a stand. In addition to the standard components, it presented current new products. An active exchange took place not only at the stand, but also in the newly introduced campfire sessions. For the first time, the wfb offered to the visitors the opportunity to exchange information about specialised topics in small discussion groups.

The standard parts manufacturer responds to customer requests and now offers a wide range of cutting punches with round bases. These are manufactured in-house within a short time span with the new automated cylindrical grinding machine. Therefore Meusburger can guarantee especially attractive lead times.

With the new two-pillar die sets, in which the guide pillars are arranged diagonally or centrally, Meusburger enables its customers new and flexible applications. The optimised arrangement of the retainer clip for the pillars and bushes retainer guarantees the SZ Two-pillar die set, central guiding a maximum usable width. The SD Two-pillar die set, diagonal guiding is designed for use in the length and width.

Meusburger’s extensive range of springs offers you the right spring for every situation - from very low to extremely high loads. To make the design process as simple as possible, Meusburger created a wizard for selecting the right system compression spring at the beginning of the year. Intuitively designed and easy to use, the wizard helps you select the right spring with just a few clicks. The configurable data is then available for download.

Meusburger has been developing innovative solutions for die making for over 10 years. But how did they get involved in this area? Let’s take a look into the past.

In order to meet customers’ needs, the product range at Meusburger is constantly being expanded - like our workshop equipment range in mid-October. New innovations have been added to the product groups surface finishing equipment, assembly equipment and clamping equipment, and there were expansions in the areas of cutting tools and EDM accessories.

Guide pillars with a conical shank are new in the Meusburger range. They can be quickly and easily replaced directly on the stamping press, which makes them incredibly practical.

The abrasive and adhesive wear that occurs during the stamping process on the cutting punch is minimised by coatings. This leads to a significant increase in the service life of cutting punches and consequently also reduces machine downtimes. In addition, the retracting forces are reduced due to the lower coefficient of friction. Different coatings are used depending on the materials to be punched. We give you an overview of the common coatings with their respective properties and application areas.

In addition to the classic materials for sliding guides such as steel and bronze, sintered iron has long been regarded as a strong alternative in die making. Thanks to its porosity, it is ideally suited for use as a slide bearing. It also offers high wear resistance and has very good emergency operating features.

To meet the different requirements for cutting steels used in die making, Meusburger has a large selection of NE blocks for eroding that cover a wide range of materials - including classic steel for through hardening, high-speed steel, powder metallurgical steel and carbide. The blocks for eroding are mainly used for the production of cutting punches and dies and are available from stock in heat-treated and hardened versions. Their thicknesses are perfectly matched to the plates of Meusburger’s standardised die sets.

Meusburger offers the optimal solutions for machining hardened material up to 67 HRC. The hard milling cutters in different variations achieve highest precision and quality. Most milling cutters are used in Meusburger’s own production. This means that the range is perfectly matched to the requirements and materials in mould and die making.

Ein hoher Grad an Standardisierung über die gesamte Prozesskette bietet hier eine ausgezeichnete Möglichkeit, um Kosten und die Durchlaufzeit von Projekten drastisch zu senken.

For wire EDM, a starting hole in the block for eroding is advantageous since otherwise the EDM contour cannot be optimally determined and it leads to high wear if the wire is introduced from the side. That’s why Meusburger now provides the new NE-Blocks for eroding with customisable starting holes.

Not all stress-relieving heat treatment is the same – because only a proper heat treatment process ensures the desired result in the end. That is why Meusburger has been using its own furnaces for almost 30 years. Meusburger stands for top-quality products – only flawless steel from the best-known steelworks can make it through the quality check. Standard parts that are heat-treated for stress relief are right at the beginning of the die and mould making process chain and form the basis of high-quality moulds and dies.

The logic distributors by Meusburger in combination with the new limit switches with roller or dome plunger enable universal die set monitoring. The sensors of the limit switches are able to collect signals from different installation positions due to the adjustable roller. The manifold combines several of these signals without voltage drop. Simple and quick installation with maximum flexibility is ensured by the compact design and the many plug-in options.

Especially for long side cut-outs, a longer strip guiding rail is necessary in order to completely cover the cut-outs and therefore prevent the lifting-off of the strip. For this reason, Meusburger now offers the E 5636 Strip guiding rail in the additional lengths 60 and 100 mm.

Meusburger presents exclusive and groundbreaking innovations for the modular concept at the Stanztec trade fair. The E 5076 and E 5078 Module guides are now available in configurable lengths.

Thanks to uncomplicated incorporation and the supplied screws, it can be installed in no time at all. In addition, the two-step installation hole protects the sealing during installation. New in range is the build-in cylinder with flange with a piston diameter of 20 mm.

The cavity pressure is an important parameter in process monitoring during plastic injection moulding. Pressure sensors are therefore indispensable for comprehensive mould monitoring. The use of high-quality piezoelectric sensors leads to optimal process quality and increases part quality sustainably. Two different technologies are available on the market for charge transfer: single wire and coaxial cables. We will show you the essential differences and characteristics of these two variants.

The Meusburger HWS 104 premium power clamp line features extremely robust and ergonomic design. This ensures simple, fast and reliable clamping of injection moulds and reduces your machine downtimes.

Reducing processing time and optimising costs is especially important for injection moulds with moderate shot weights. In addition, flawless surface quality is often required for injection moulded parts. 1.2738 TSHH steel has long been established on the market for this purpose. This steel is especially useful in the automotive industry, but also for consumer goods. Meusburger now offers cavity plates and standard plates in the material grade 1.2738 TSHH available from stock.

Position sensing plays an important role in a reliable injection moulding process. Whether for monitoring the end positions of a slide, ejector set or hydraulic cylinder – mechanical and inductive sensors have become essential in modern mould and die making. Here is an overview of the most common variations for position control of components in the mould.

Latch locks are used to control moulds with 2 split lines, often referred to as 3-plate moulds. With the new E 1817 latch lock, Meusburger has created an exclusive and cost-effective alternative to existing products on the market, such as round or flat latch locks. Thanks to its simple mechanical functional principle, the new latch lock offers maximum reliability in the control of 3-plate moulds. In addition, it features a compact design as well as low machining effort prior to its installation.

Meusburger offers the optimal solutions for machining hardened material up to 67 HRC. The hard milling cutters in different variations achieve highest precision and quality. Most milling cutters are used in Meusburger’s own production. This means that the range is perfectly matched to the requirements and materials in mould and die making.

At this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf, the Meusburger stand featured the new configurator for hot runner moulds. The new cavity pressure sensors and many other Meusburger products were also presented to visitors, alongside the unmissable hot runner and control systems, WBI Knowledge Management and ERP software.

At this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf (16 to 23 October), the Meusburger stand (hall 1, stand C30) will feature the new and one-of-a-kind configurator for hot runner moulds. In addition, the new cavity pressure sensors and many other Meusburger products will be presented. Of course the divisions of hot runner and control systems, Knowledge Management, and ERP will also be presented.

For easier demoulding of internal undercuts in plastic parts, ejectors for inclined ejection units can often be used instead of slide units. With the new E 3270 Inclined ejection unit, Meusburger offers a cost-effective and ready-to-use alternative to the existing ejectors for inclined ejection units on the market. The part geometry is created with a block for eroding which allows for maximum design flexibility. The DLC coating of the ejector rod ensures minimal wear, best sliding properties and ultimately a long service life.

In the middle of June, Meusburger expanded its workshop equipment product range with numerous innovations and additions in the machining, EDM accessories and clamping equipment product groups. Meusburger also has new products for measuring, lifting, and surface finishing.

According to the motto ‘everything from one source’, in addition to standard parts for temperature and end position control, Meusburger now also offers sensors for cavity pressure measurement. With the matching connecting cable, these are compatible with all systems for analysis currently available on the market. The range includes two types each for direct and indirect measurement as well as suitable mounting accessories and connection cables - as usual available from stock with simple CAD data download from the Meusburger web shop.

With the brand new Meusburger configurator for hot runner moulds a complete mould base including hot runner manifold can be customised with just a few clicks. The configurator offers highest flexibility, immediate creation of the 3D data and immediate price display. This world first on the market is the result of the very good cooperation between Meusburger and PSG.

With the E 7055 Locking cylinder, Meusburger offers a solution that eliminates the need for complex side locking of the slides. This simplifies the design with fewer components, saves space and in the end also saves valuable time.

The advantages of DLC coating are clear: longer service life and reduced maintenance. The new E 3174 flat guiding stock from Meusburger guarantees optimal sliding properties and minimal wear thanks to the DLC coated surface.

Stainless steel components are mainly used in processing corrosive plastics or in clean room technology (e.g. medical or food processing applications). Meusburger has expanded its product range especially in the temperature regulation components, ejectors, and demoulding product groups with numerous new stainless steel components.

For wire EDM, a starting hole in the block for eroding is advantageous since otherwise the EDM contour cannot be optimally determined and it leads to high wear if the wire is introduced from the side. That’s why Meusburger now provides the new NE-Blocks for eroding with customisable starting holes.

Not all stress-relieving heat treatment is the same – because only a proper heat treatment process ensures the desired result in the end. That is why Meusburger has been using its own furnaces for almost 30 years. Meusburger stands for top-quality products – only flawless steel from the best-known steelworks can make it through the quality check. Standard parts that are heat-treated for stress relief are right at the beginning of the die and mould making process chain and form the basis of high-quality moulds and dies.

Increasing with high temperatures, leakage problems can occur at various points. Sooner or later, the typical brass plugs can lead to leaks – this results in machine downtimes and increased maintenance intervals. It is often assumed that the problem is the sealant used, but this is usually not the reason: Due to different coefficients of expansion of brass plugs and steel plates, setting occurs during heating and cooling of the mould which consequently leads to leakage.

The logic distributors by Meusburger in combination with the new limit switches with roller or dome plunger enable universal die set monitoring. The sensors of the limit switches are able to collect signals from different installation positions due to the adjustable roller. The manifold combines several of these signals without voltage drop. Simple and quick installation with maximum flexibility is ensured by the compact design and the many plug-in options.

The new member of the Meusburger family of compact slide units is the E 3310 TT-Slide unit, which features a compact design. The ready-to-use slide unit reduces overall costs during design and tool manufacturing. In addition, daily work is facilitated through the compatibility of the components and the direct download of CAD data including installation spaces. Small slide units are in particular demand for complex moulds.

Marking stamps are used for clear marking of injection-moulded parts. To prevent unintended movement of the arrow insert, Meusburger now offers stamps with a latching function. These ensure even higher process reliability during the injection moulding process, and prevent parts being marked incorrectly.

Moving components without hard carbon coating (diamond-like carbon, or DLC for short) can hardly be imagined in modern die and mould making. But what is so good about this coating? Through examples, Meusburger shows the clear advantages and uses of DLC coated standard components.

Ideal for the smallest installation spaces, Meusburger now exclusively offers the compact build-in cylinder with flange. Thanks to an uncomplicated incorporation and the supplied screws, it can be installed in no time at all. In addition, the two-step installation hole protects the sealing during installation.

Meusburger is constantly expanding its range of temperature regulation solutions, which leads to a higher level of safety in operation as well as savings in time during the design and use. New in the range are temperature regulation components with sealant, plug-in type bridges and the Stäubli RMI Multi coupler system.

The new high-feed milling cutters WZF 11512 and WZF 11522, or HFC milling cutters for short (HFC stands for High Feed Cutting), are mainly used for roughing. This procedure is particularly economical, as very high cutting speeds and feed rates can be reached. In addition, these milling cutters guarantee higher process reliability through a controlled wear process without cutting edge breakage.

The new E 1307 Fine centring unit, flat from Meusburger features minimal installation space which provides for maximum space utilisation within the insert. Through the DLC coated centring elements available with or without fixing holes the designer enjoys maximum flexibility during design, and the wear is reduced to a minimum.

Die casting moulds have to meet highest demands. In order to meet these requirements, Meusburger offers a specially selected range of high-precision standard components and a matching range of products for the workshop.

The exclusive E 3064 Guide for inclined pin stands out due to optimal surface contact with the inclined pin and best material pairings. This results in a high force absorption. The machining of the pocket in the slide is possible without inclining. In addition the slide stroke can be adjusted subsequently by customising, or adjusting the position of the guide for inclined pin.

From the 17th to the 21st of October, Meusburger presents both the tried and trusted products and numerous innovations at the international trade fair for the processing of plastics. The precision cutting and grinding machine, the gear unit for stack moulds, and the high temperature hose are just a few of the product highlights that can be seen at the Meusburger stand no. 2313 in hall A2.

The expert in standard components Meusburger now has the smartFILL single nozzles from PSG in range. Best part quality and a wide range of applications make the smartFILL hot runner single nozzle the poster child of PSG. By using this nozzle the melt is tempered homogeneously to the injected part guaranteeing highest quality of parts. With the easily interchangeable nozzle tips, different types of gating are possible which makes the smartFILL nozzles suitable for a wide range of applications and all common thermoplastics with and without fillers.

The new E 2187 IsoTemp® high temperature hoses from Meusburger combine tried and trusted technology with an innovative silicone sheath. This offers protection against burns as well as against abrasion or damages to the metal sheath. Therefore there is no risk of injuries from protruding wires. The special construction provides for high durability and maximum flexibility.

Ergonomics plays a central role in the design of a safe and healthy working environment in many areas. With the new tiltable tables and magnetic clamping balls, which enable ergonomic work during polishing, the standard parts manufacturer expands its workshop equipment range and makes an important contribution for modern workplace design.

For the synchronous control of stack moulds Meusburger offers the stable and precise E 8630 Gear unit for stack moulds in two compact sizes. The two types in module 3 or module 4 stand for the highest precision and quality. The closed housing provides highest stability and safety.

You can save time and costs along the entire production process from design to manufacturing with the use of tunnel gate inserts. The expert in standard components Meusburger has recently expanded its range with two new versions especially for large contour steps.

The standard parts manufacturer Meusburger expands its product range in the area of electrical components. The E 65620 Magnetic proximity sensor for T-slots with reliable and precise switching point is ideally suited for use as a cylinder sensor. For easy and secure fixing of cables within the moulds, Meusburger now also offers the universally usable E 2766 Magnetic cable retainer.

The standard parts manufacturer Meusburger expands its range of workshop equipment especially coordinated to die and mould making with high-quality high-pressure clamping equipment. In addition to the tried and trusted centring vices Meusburger now offers high-pressure vices in three different variations. Due to the integrated power amplifier a clamping force of up to 50 kN is reached. The repeatable accuracy during clamping is 0.01 and enables highest precision in the machining of workpieces.

From now on the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger also offers hydraulic cylinders with a stroke of up to 200 mm available from stock. Thanks to the finely graduated stroke lengths a large application range is possible. Due to the standard lengths and transverse holes the double-acting cylinders can be flexibly installed.

As of now, the switching elements of the Meusburger E 1820 Flat latch lock and E 1840 Round latch lock are DLC coated. This enables an even longer service life and, due to excellent dry-running properties, makes the latch locks suitable for use in cleanrooms.

Since October Meusburger offers a flat-face centring unit with round fitting. This innovative product in the range of Meusburger locks offers an additional option for a reliable and exact final centring of the mould at the split line face. Due to its geometry the new centring unit is optimal for moulds with unequal thermal expansion.

The compact ejector accelerator from Meusburger is the ideal device for the safe and targeted ejection of complex parts: a single ejector is additionally accelerated by which snagging of the injection moulded part is avoided. The injection pressure is absorbed by the ejector base plate thus the ejection accelerator does not bear any load and has a longer service life. Due to the small component size a flexible positioning of the ejector accelerator in the ejector set is also possible when retrofitting.

With the new compact slide units Meusburger offers a slim slide option especially for small installation spaces. In addition to their size the ready-to-use versions also convince by their quality. High wear resistance and best sliding properties are possible through the DLC coated slides. Furthermore highest precision in the design and the production of the new slide units guarantee maximum process reliability in the injection moulding process.

The new HSS ejector pins and DLC coated blade ejector pins with extra long blade from Meusburger guarantee long life and minimal wear. The use of high-speed steel and diamond-like carbon coating results in longer maintenance intervals and reduced downtimes. The two high-quality ejectors are as usual with Meusburger, available from stock.

An innovative solution in the area of temperature regulation components assures more safety at work. Risk of scalding starts at a water temperature of 55°C, therefore an unintentional decoupling of the temperature regulation components can have fatal consequences. The new automatic safety hose coupler can prevent such accidents.

From 7th until 8th of June the wfb trade fair for die and mould making took place in Augsburg. Also this year, the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger was represented with a stand. In addition to the standard components, it presented current new products. An active exchange took place not only at the stand, but also in the newly introduced campfire sessions. For the first time, the wfb offered to the visitors the opportunity to exchange information about specialised topics in small discussion groups.

Despite the demanding market conditions, the company is successfully overcoming the challenges and continuing to invest in order to offer its customers the best service and the highest quality. This year, the standard parts manufacturer will continue to focus on further optimising its core competencies in the area of plates and components to expand its position as market leader. Last year, the company was already able to support its customers as a reliable supplier thanks to its central location in the heart of Europe and its extensive standard parts warehouse. In 2023, Meusburger generated a turnover of 327 million euros.

After preparing intensively, it is finally time – the new Meusburger portal runs parallel to the previous version. The standard parts manufacturer has taken its online world to a new level so that its customers can reach their goal as quickly and intuitively as possible. With just a few clicks, the portal is easy to use for any target group. That’s not it, Meusburger is constantly further developing its portal and even more functions will be available in the future. The advantages that the new portal already offers are summed up below.

After a turbulent year in 2022, Meusburger continues to be a reliable supplier in the mould and die making industry. Despite the challenges in the past year, the standard parts manufacturer has optimised existing processes and further advanced digitalisation. The company recorded a 16% growth in turnover, partly due to increased costs and resulting price increases.

2021 was complicated by both supply shortages and rising commodity prices, as well as limited customer visits due to the Covid situation. Despite these challenges, Meusburger was able to guarantee its customers continuous service and constant delivery availability. Thus, the standard parts manufacturer from Austria was able to achieve a turnover of 302 million euros thanks to the large warehouse and the high proportion of in-house production.

The industry continues to face significant bottlenecks along the entire supply chain. As a consequence, prices for both raw materials and commodities continue to rise, along with massive increases in energy, freight and transport costs. This creates uncertainty for many companies.

From the 12–16 October Meusburger was represented at Fakuma, the international trade fair for plastics processing in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The range for injection moulders as well as the standard and custom hot runner systems were in the spotlight. The visitors in hall A2 at stand 2313 and 2317 also got the first look at Meusburger’s brand new trade fair stand design. Another particular highlight at the stand was the Engel injection moulding machine, which visitors were able to watch live in action producing bread boxes.

The current sharp increase of raw material prices is causing uncertainty for many companies. The dramatic rise in costs is due to the increasing demand for steel which has resulted in a global steel shortage. This has caused not only supply bottlenecks but an extreme increase in prices. For example, the price for steel grade 1.1730 has doubled. From today’s perspective, it is unclear when the situation will ease again.

During 2020, Meusburger fully integrates the hot runner and control systems specialist PSG, which was taken over in 2016, into the company and will then operate under the Meusburger brand. PSG remains a strong product brand.

At this year’s Moulding Expo in Stuttgart (21–24 May), the Meusburger Group’s stand (hall 7, stand C17) will feature the brand new and one-of-a-kind configurator for hot runner moulds. In addition, the new cavity pressure sensors and many other Meusburger products will be presented. The companies PSG, WBI and Segoni will also offer a glimpse into their product range.

From the 16th to the 20th of October 2018, the Meusburger Group will be represented at the international trade fair for the processing of plastics in hall A2 at stand 2313 and 2317. With the motto ‘everything from a single source’, Meusburger, PSG, WBI and the youngest group member, Segoni will present new and tried and trusted products and services in the field of mould and die making.

Wolfurt/Austria. The internationally active Meusburger Group with headquarters in Wolfurt will be taking over Segoni. The Berlin software specialist will continue as an independent enterprise, and all employees will be retained. In the coming years, long-term investments will be made in the further development of the software. Alongside the knowledge-based management method WBI, customers of the Meusburger Group will also be supported in the area of ERP/PPS through the digitalisation process.

A new chapter of the cooperation of Meusburger and PSG in China began on September 1, 2017. As of the effective date Meusburger Mould and Die (Wuxi) Co. Ltd is legally an entity.

Meusburger offers you the right spring for every requirement - from very low to extremely high loads. The range also includes perfectly matched accessories for smooth installation of system and elastomer compression springs. All springs are available from stock at Meusburger.

From 16 –21 September EMO, the trade fair for metalworking, will open its doors in Hannover. Meusburger will be present again this year in Hall 5 at Stand E23. Visitors will be shown the extensive selection of materials as well as standard elements specially for jigs and fixtures construction.

Not all stress-relieving heat treatment is the same – because only a proper heat treatment process ensures the desired result in the end. That is why Meusburger has been using its own furnaces for almost 30 years. Meusburger stands for top-quality products – only flawless steel from the best-known steelworks can make it through the quality check. Standard parts that are heat-treated for stress relief are right at the beginning of the die and mould making process chain and form the basis of high-quality moulds and dies.

From 20-24 February the 20th International Exhibition for Metalworking Technologies will be held in Düsseldorf. Meusburger will also be represented this year in Hall 15 at Stand 15F69 and informing visitors about the competitive advantages of standardisation in machine and jig construction.

From September 18th to 23rd 2017, EMO, the trade fair for metalworking, opens its doors in Hannover. Meusburger will also be represented this year in Hall 5 at Stand E 24 and informing visitors about its wide range of products as well as the advantages of standardisation in machine and jig construction.

Since the introduction of the area of business 'Jigs and Fixtures' the standard parts manufacturer Meusburger has recorded a steady growth in customer clientèle who build on the quality and the reliability of immediately available standard components. The trend towards standardisation is taking more and more hold in machine and jig construction. A logical development, considering that increasingly shorter project lead times and efficiency improvements are required in order to survive on the international market with the progressing globalisation.
