Services / Mould modernisation

Mould modernisation
for industry.

We comprehensively modernise and modify existing moulds. This adapts tooling to new production requirements, extends service life and reduces the cost of manufacturing a new mould.

Scope

Technology selected
for a specific goal.

01

Geometry changes

We modify cavities and forming surfaces to adapt the tooling to an updated part or new technology requirements.

02

Mechanism modernisation

We improve moving components and the processes of opening, closing and ejecting the part.

03

Conversions and markings

We adapt moulds to new product variants, materials and process parameters. We modify date stamps, engravings and marking elements.

04

Repairs and regeneration

We repair the effects of wear and damage. We regenerate molding surfaces and repair or reconstruct worn mold components.

05

Modernization of the cooling and infusion system

We optimize cooling and material supply systems, improving process stability, part quality, and production efficiency.

06

Replacing and making mold components

We manufacture and replace worn or damaged components such as inserts, cores, sliders, guides and ejectors.

07

Adapting the mold to a new process or machine

We adapt molds to new production conditions, injection molding machines and process parameters, taking into account requirements for mounting, ejection and connections.

In practice

The scope of work may include:

  • EDM machining, milling, grinding and polishing necessary to carry out the modification
  • production of new inserts, cores and spare parts in accordance with the documentation or based on existing components
  • adding holes, pockets and connections required by the modified design
  • reconstruction of the parting surfaces and local forming surfaces in accordance with the new detail geometry
  • carrying out mold tests and verifying the effect of changes before restarting the tool in production
  • fitting and assembly of new components along with checking their proper operation
