Maximum efficiency through standardisation of die sets |

Securing competitive advantages in the long term

Globalisation increases the competitive pressure on die and mould makers, but also offers the chance to profit from orders in fast-growing markets. At the same time the innovation wheel is turning ever faster, which requires adaptability and flexibility from companies. The high cost and time pressure forces companies to constantly improve their efficiency.

Through a systematic and consistent standardisation of products and processes, major savings in time and cost can be made, thus creating the decisive basis for the long-term success of a company. When considering the entire life cycle of a product, the ability to influence cost is highest during the design stage.

Smooth interchangeability

In series production, non-productive times and waiting times caused by broken dies are reduced by using standardised parts as these guarantee smooth interchangeability and can be quickly replaced.

Reduced deformation through stress-relieving heat treatment

To achieve the best quality, we rely not only on the precise in-house production of our plates, but also on our own furnaces with a total capacity of 240 tonnes. The low-deformation material itself has a big influence on the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the die: thanks to the high-grade steel, which is heat-treated for stress relief, and to the exact form and position tolerances, subsequent costs can be reduced.

Advantages of stress-relieving heat treatment

Top precision

In summary, one can say that die makers can benefit in many ways from the consistent use of Meusburger standard parts because high-precision end products ultimately depend on high-precision die sets. The modular system allows an almost unlimited number of possible combinations while maintaining the highest and most consistent precision. Moreover, the Meusburger standard hole pattern with anti-rotation protection enables highly accurate positioning of the guide holes and correct assembly of the upper and lower part. The alignment edge allows for a quick alignment of the plate on the machine. The ventilation groove ensures the controlled escape of air when sliding guides are used.

Available from stock
