This category offers compact information on products and parts used in manufacturing. It’s aimed at technical buyers looking to understand various components and their areas of application—from standard parts to custom-made solutions.

• Follow on composite tools

  Woodening tools are manufactured in and are used to manufacture sheet metal components for industry. A follow-up composite tool usually comprises a plurality of stations on which a processing step or an operation on the component is carried out in each case.

• Circular honing

  A hydraulic cylinder is a working cylinder which converts the force of a hydraulic energy source into a linear movement. Hydraulic cylinders play an important role in power transmission, especially in vehicles and machines. Hydraulic cylinders convert hydraulic into mechanical energy and are capable of transmitting very high forces. A further advantage of hydraulic drive technology is the possibility of imaging particularly uniform and exact driving movements. The hydraulic cylinder makes use of the low compression of hydraulic fluids.

• Gravity casting moulds

  A mold is a metallic mold used for the production of precise workpieces with good surface quality. Moulds often consist of cast iron or copper plates and are widely used in metalworking industry. The mold is the technical basis of the mold casting process and has proved successful in the production of large forging blanks, slabs for sheet metal products, billets for wire, rod and profile products and other components. In the mold casting process, the metallic melt is poured into the mold via the above-lying injection and cures there. Depending on the casting process, a mold can be used up to 100,000 times, resulting in a high cost.

• Con rod

  A connecting rod is also referred to as a connecting rod or push rod and connects the crankshaft to the piston in a crank drive. The connecting rod converts the linear movement of the piston into a linear oscillating axial movement and thereby allows the force transmission in the vehicle train. As a rule, connecting rods are made from C70 steel or from microalloy steels. In addition, compensation steels or titanium are also used in the sports motor sector. Connecting rods in large series are frequently forged, sintered or cast, whereas in productions with small numbers a cutting production of metal pieces is preferably used.

• Worm gear

  A worm gear is a screw-rolling gear which transfers the rotational movement of a cylindrical shaft to a rotating gear which is offset by 90°. Snail transmissions allow a particularly high transmission to narrow space and are therefore outstandingly suitable for demanding space conditions. Snail gears work highly precise, are very powerful and in addition are able to reliably compensate for axial offsets. For this reason, the low-noise and insensitive transmissions are used worldwide in demanding applications such as conveyor systems, extrusion machines, separation machines or profile machining machines.

• Injection molding tool

  The injection molding tool is a continuous mold used to produce components with an injection molding machine. The injection molding tool usually consists of metal and has a cavity which determines the shape and surface structure of the produced part. During injection molding, the injection molding tool is filled with plasticized plastic under pressure. Subsequently, the material cools down in the injection molding tool and thereby hardens. After the tool has been opened, the molded part can be removed. Injection molding tools are used to produce various components with weights of a few tenths of grams up to 150 kg. The process enables economical and efficient series production and therefore enjoys great popularity in the plastics processing industry.

• Steel profiles

  Steel profiles are steel components which have the same cross-section over their entire length. Steel profiles are usually produced by rolling, drawing or pressing and are used as construction steel or for the production of rails, ladders or struts. When using steel profiles, it is crucial to tune the decisive material or component parameters to the application. It should be ensured that the static moment, the moment of resistance and the moment of inertia of the surface correspond to the load requirements of the respective application.

• Tool making

  In the case of tool construction, high-precision tools are produced which serve to produce workpieces in mass production. The tools must be made of a suitable material and produced in the highest quality. Most manufacturers of such tools work in the machine park with modern CNC machine tools, by means of which precise and detailed contours can be realized. In this case, the production technology is frequently chosen to mill in order to machine a workpiece from which the finished tool emerges.
