A single machine with a combined punching, embossing and joining system The FRIMO CombiCut machine is a specially developed single unit for punching, embossing and joining bumpers and other grained, painted or unpainted exterior plastic components. The CombiCut is very well suited for large-scale production, especially with many variations. This means optional punchings and mounting elements such as parking assistants, headlight wipers, fog lamps, side-markers and trailer hitches can be added just prior to final assembly, reducing inventories and simplifying storage.

Economic and high performance punching machine for high volume production FRIMO's EcoCut punching machine is ideally suited for trimming very complex and large plastic components such as instrument panels, door panels and armrests. Its high capacity makes it the optimal choice for large-scale production. The EcoCut has been specifically developed for trimming towards the ram and in many additional punching directions. The product fixture is integrated directly into the lower table. The vertically driven upper tool replaces the press ram.

Ideal for high quantities In vacuum laminating, plastic films such as TPO, TEPEO2 ® and PVC are heated and vacuumed to plastic substrate components, resulting in lamination. The adhesive applied to the substrate or decor material is activated, causing the two parts to bond. Vacuum laminating's special feature is that is can be combined with IMG (In-Mold Graining) in a single process. FRIMO offers this innovative and attractive technology with extensive market references.

"Combi" tools allow different technologies to be combined in a single step (in one tool) for more efficient plastic component production. Typical technologies applied in combined processes (depending on the requirements) are foaming, forming, laminating, edge folding, punching and joining. These processes allow different materials and material combinations to be used. "Combi" tools enable a very fast and cost-effective production process with minimized space requirements. Based on their longtime expertise and completion of numerous serial projects, FRIMO is able to supply optimized tooling solutions that perfectly meet the product and customer requirements. These range from small tools to special tools for large components for a nearly unlimited range of plastic applications. Our tools are available in steel or cast steel, as well as in aluminum, cast aluminum or nickel shells. For special applications, FRIMO also offers tools with interchangeable inserts, allowing the most efficient

Good ergonomics and optimal component accessibility Milling can be used to not only create highly complex component geometries, but also to achieve precise cutting depths. It is often used in combination with punching operations to produce component variations or small quantities, such as of instrument panels, center consoles or door panels. FRIMO FlexTrim milling machines have been specially developed to process complex 3-D plastic components. The newest generation of FlexTrim milling machines offers an attractive price/performance ratio. The new rotary table and product fixture concept ensures excellent ergonomic conditions for the operator and optimal component access for the milling robots. The use of multiple product fixtures per station reduces the number of necessary changes, thereby increasing productivity. Through the use of new milling technology with optimized chips, an effectiveness ratio of up to 95 % is possible with appropriate material combinations.
