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.
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.
From the 12–16 October Meusburger was represented at Fakuma, the international trade fair for plastics processing in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

Another particular highlight at the stand was the Engel injection moulding machine, which visitors were able to watch live in action producing bread boxes.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The parts list is automatically updated when changes are made.
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.
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.

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

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.
