Securing competitive advantages in the long term
Globalisation increases the competitive pressure on mould and die makers, but also offers the chance to profit from orders in fast-growing markets. At the same time, the innovation wheel is turning at an increasingly faster speed, 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, which creates a decisive basis for the long-term success of a company. When considering the entire life cycle of a product, the ability to influence the cost is highest during the design stage.
Smooth interchangeability
In series production, non-productive times and waiting times caused by broken dies can be reduced by using standardised parts, because such parts guarantee a smooth interchangeability and can be quickly replaced.
Reduced warping 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 dies: thanks to the high-grade steel, which is heat-treated for stress relief, and to the exact form and location tolerances, subsequent costs can be reduced.
Maximum precision
In summary, die makers can benefit in many ways from the consistent use of standard parts, because precise end products ultimately depend on precise die sets. The modular system allows for an almost unlimited number of possible combinations, while maintaining maximum and consistent precision. The Meusburger standard hole pattern with anti-rotation protection also enables highly accurate positioning of the guiding holes and correct assembly of the upper and lower part, while the alignment edge allows for a quick and precise alignment of the plate on the machine. The ventilation groove ensures the controlled escape of air when using sliding guides.
Available from stock
Tried and trusted standard die sets with or without pre-drilled holes, precision die sets for increased accuracy requirements and two-pillar die sets with two linear guiding units arranged at the back, diagonally, or centrally, depending on the type. Stamping and forming die sets for Bihler presses and versatile die sets for table presses. Our standard parts for die making are directly available from stock within the shortest possible time.
SV – Standard die sets
Our tried and trusted standard die set is available in sizes ranging from 156 x 156 to 696 x 1,396 mm. The guide pillar can be fitted to the head plate or the base plate, depending on the application.
SP – Precision die sets
In our precision die set, the guide pillar is fitted to the backing plate, which ensures optimum transfer of the guiding system’s shear forces. It is available in sizes ranging from 196 x 196 to 496 x 696 mm.
SH, SD, SZ – Two-pillar die sets
Flexible application options of the die sets through different arrangement of the guide pillars. Two-pillar die sets with diagonal or central guiding either with or without backing plate.
Two-pillar die sets, back guiding
SB – Stamping and forming die sets
We offer you our stamping and forming die set for the 200 kN, 300 kN and 400 kN Bihler presses. The die sets are available from stock in lengths up to 596 mm and as type SBH ‘tunnel cut’ or SBP ‘spring-loaded guiding plate’.
ST – Die sets for table presses
The die set for table presses serves as a stable base for assembly, stamping and pressing processes. It features a robust design that ensures absolute stability, thereby guaranteeing precise and reliable work. The die set is very versatile, so it can be adapted to various table presses, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in production or in workshops.
