Accuracy at the highest level
Precise mould-making and toolmaking for the most demanding requirements
All of the processes behind our mould design and construction are designed for precision. This is based on climate control to ±1K. Continual improvements and innovations from technology and production are incorporated into our manufacturing processes to ensure we are always in line with the state of the art.
We achieve an extremely high level of accuracy through the use of advanced technologies and the high level of commitment and expertise of our employees. This is essential to ensure the highest standards in injection moulding, toolmaking, and design. The result: precision that benefits you as a customer.
High-precision injection moulding
and toolmaking for complex items
To manufacture the smallest and most complex items requires the most advanced moulding technologies to meet the highest standards. At our company, highly automated processes meet a superbly trained team to achieve excellent results.
Our machine software and tool manufacturing technologies are specifically tailored to the demands of injection moulding and toolmaking. Through close collaborations with leading institutes and facilities, we stay at the forefront of technology.
We handle a high workload with an impressive capacity of well over 70 tools per year, including the maintenance of ongoing production tools. Thanks to a modern work environment and state-of-the-art equipment, we meet daily demands effectively.
Technologies
Continuous further development in injection moulding and toolmaking
‘We have always done it this way!’ – Whilst our competition may be content to rest on their laurels, continuous improvement is at the core of who we are. New technologies, improved techniques, and optimised processes together form the foundation for first-class tools in injection moulding and toolmaking.
Our constant spirit of innovation and the courage to explore new paths enable us to improve every day. And we know that even the trials and errors of the experiences we gain from our relentless pursuit of further development have real added value – not only for us, but for our partners as well.
OUR HIGH-END PRODUCTION FOR ABSOLUTE PRECISION
Manufacturing innovative medical devices requires the right machinery and processes. To this end, Scholz always offers machinery and technologies customised to the manufacture of your medical devices.
Seamless monitoring and documentation of all of our processes ensure production at the highest level, with the aim of achieving zero-error production.
Electrical discharge machining (EDM)
We use wire cutting and die sinking to achieve maximum accuracy and thus comply with the smallest of tolerances and the finest of structures. With wire diameters much smaller than a human hair, we can also reliably manufacture gear teeth structures below the standard-compliant 0.2 module or flanging radii of less than 30 μm.
No effort or expense was spared when we were creating the optimal conditions and environment for this. From components and electrodes tracked by RFID in fully automated production and measurement to axis resolutions on the machines well below 1 μm, we can meet the highest standards in mould design and construction.
SERIAL NANO PRECISION
Processing electrodes or directly in steel – especially when already hardened – leaves no scope for discrepancies. In order to live up to our own high standards, we have installed cutting-edge technology.
Standardised clamping technology, hydrostatically fastened and hardwearing guides as well as intelligent machine temperature control all form the foundation for the best results.
We have several mill centres where we manufacture the electrodes for die sinking, tooling inserts and form components. They allow us to achieve optimal results with axis positioning accuracies of 0.5 μm by using spindles with temperatures controlled to ±0.2K in work areas with special air conditioning. We also use jig grinding technology for the hardest of materials.
MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY ON THE WORKBENCH
The measurement of the finished parts is just as important as precision production. Even the best process with high-precision machinery is subject to the physical laws of nature and can result in discrepancies. To work out the best possible combination, it is essential to recognise the discrepancies that can arise in the manufacturing processes. To this end, in addition to fully automated measurements for mould making, we are also equipped with excellent measurement technology at the workbench. As well as 3D measuring machines from Zeiss (Contura 2 and Duramax), we have height gauges and Leica measuring microscopes.
