SERVICES – Schaufler Tooling China

THE FULL RANGE

At the customer’s request, we cover the entire process chain and accompany you from the initial draft to the final casting.

CASTING PART OPTIMIZATION

We are pleased to offer support starting from the product development phase.

Wall thickness analysis
Identifying and elaborating potential optimizations related to casting requirements
Demoldability (undercuts, radii, draft angles)
Consider the trimming processes for parting lines, including split lines around slides.
Consider trim beats, feeder bands, and ejector bosses
Avoiding bad tool steel conditions

CONSTRUCTION

construction

We create our 3D tool designs in close coordination with our customers. A strong team of 15 designers with experience in die casting ensures that your molds are equipped with the best solutions, thus bringing you closer to the goal of 100% quality with the shortest cycle time and a trouble-free mold.

We create your designs either in CATIA V5 or Siemens NX.

ENGINEERING

The entire process chain in view

We have many years of process know-how from part development to the final processing of a die-cast part. The knowledge of the individual phases of the process flows into every work step in the creation of a die-casting mold.

We are happy to provide advice during product development

Wall thickness analysis of the casting,
Identification and elaboration of possible optimization potentials with regard to the casting requirements,
Demouldability (undercuts, roundings, draft angles),
Consideration of the separation processes, including slide separations,
Separation processes taking into account punch deburring,
Consideration of punching ribs, flow aids, ejector eyes,
Avoiding weak points on the tool.

SIMULATION & FEM CALCULATIONS

Simulation & FEM Calculations

With over 25 years of experience, we conduct in-house filling, solidification, and cycle simulations with two experienced engineers. Evaluating the results provides valuable information for optimizing part geometry during the development phase.

Our goals:

Development of the optimal runner, gating and venting concept
Cost optimization through efficient use of materials
Development of the cooling system to achieve the required part quality and optimal cycle time
The molds are designed for optimal strength and material efficiency while minimizing tool deflection.

MAINTAINENCE & REPAIRS

Wartungen & Reparaturen

Schnelle Reaktionszeit und flexibler Einsatz

Aufgrund steigender Gussteilabrufe in immer kürzer werdenden Zeiträumen, ist in der Werkzeuginstandhaltung oft Geschwindigkeit und Flexibilität in Verbindung mit hoher Qualität gefragt. Unser Serviceangebot umfasst daher

Schnelle und kurzfristige Einsätze direkt beim Kunden vor Ort,
Schnelle und kurzfristige Werkzeugwartung und Reparaturen in unserem Werkzeugbau,
Vorbeugende und geplante Werkzeugwartungen,
Kundenberatung und Unterstützung bei Lösungsfindungen,
Einbringen von Änderungen oder Optimierungen von der Konstruktion bis zur fertigen Form.

Unser Ziel:

Aufrechterhaltung einer möglichst problemfreien Serienproduktion unserer Kunden,
Produktionsstabilität und somit Kostenreduzierung bei unseren Kunden,
Maximale Ausschöpfung der Werkzeuglebenszeiten.

Spare parts management through series production

In order to keep series production and the required casting part qualities stable, spare parts management is playing an increasingly important role.

Among other things, we offer:

Ready-to-install and measured rotary cores with and without milling contours,
Ready-to-install and measured jet-cooled cores and inserts,
Ready-to-install and measured contour inserts,
Ready-to-install and measured main inserts and slide valve attachments,
If required, coatings according to specific customer requirements of all components,
Norm and standard parts such as ejectors, sleeves, jet-cooling units, etc.

SAMPLING & INITIAL INSPECTION

Sampling & initial inspection

Tool sampling

In order to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the tools before delivery to our customers, we have the ability and the know-how to carry out tool sampling independently or together with our customers if required.

For this purpose we have at our disposal:

Several long-term partnerships with access to DG machine sizes from 1,200 – 4,200 tons clamping force,
Casting of aluminium and magnesium castings,
Wide range of aluminium and magnesium alloys according to customer requirements,
Access to X-ray systems, crack detection capabilities, spectral analysis, etc.
