TOOLMAKING

THE BASIS OF COMPONENTS

Tool making, also called mould making, is the prerequisite for plastic injection moulding. Depending on whether we are producing prototypes or full series, we use our own tool concepts – which we make through our customised tool development with mould inserts. In this way, wall thicknesses, injection points and the material are selected in a target-oriented manner in order to avoid sink marks and warpage. Our tool design department will gladly support you in this.

We offer:

• In-house toolmaking
• Inserts made of aluminium or steel
• Hardenable up to approx. 52–54 HRC
• Production based on 3D data or 3D data and drawing
• Additively manufactured tool inserts for tempering – ensuring improvement of component quality through targeted heat extraction and shortening of the cycle time
• Option of injecting centrally, decentrally, via hot runner or through the parting line

DIE-SINKING EDM

At HENNgineered, a fully automated plant for die-sinking EDM is available both for internal and external projects. We use this facility to process your components – whether these have been supplied by you or manufactured by us. We offer you the full package. From designing the electrode and making it out of graphite, to producing the component including die-sinking EDM.

• Component sizes up to 320 x 320 mm; larger upon request
• From quantity 1 to series production
• Economical production with graphite electrodes
• Assembly production, including combination plastic and metal parts
