Small batch - Import export

The rapid change system EWS-Varia allows to set-up a modern CNC lathe or a turning milling center – and this flexibly. A tool change will just take 20 seconds, which is an unbeatable argument especially in small batch productions whenever it is about reducing the set-up time and thus increasing the productivity. The advantages, however, are also evident in large batch productions. Preset twin tools lie at the machine, thus significantly reducing the down-times. A further advantage is provided by the variety of adaptations; so the optimal tool clamping can be selected for each operation. The inserts available include: Collet chuck holders Weldon/Whistle Notch Milling arbors Morse tapers Hydro extension Shrink adaptations The most important advantage is certainly created by the easy handling. The inserts can be changed with just one hand without counter pressure by the spindle.

Large Quantities: produced as cold formed parts (so-called multi-station presses), which require high output volumes in order to achieve a reasonable price parts Small Quantities: Produced as turned parts - the economic adjustment to small batch sizes Fields of application: For thermoplastics, duroplastics, light alloys, metal compounds. Industrial consumers: Electrical industry, plastics processing industry, sheet metal processing industry, telecommunications, tank- and container construction.

The economic adjustment to small batch sizes, we meet with our turned parts for the direct assembly in plastics and die-cast products. Any thread forms such as, thread-tapping (DIN7500), thread cutting (DIN 7513-7516) or KTG for direct screw in plastics are realized cost-effectively. Advantage is the elimination of high tooling costs, since no counter-thread in the workpiece (eg threaded inserts, nuts, etc.) is required because the direct assembly takes place directly into the workpiece. Only a given tube is required in order to screw it directly. Our turned parts replace previously cold formed parts used (so-called multi-station presses) which require high output volumes in order to achieve a reasonable price parts.

PT screws for thermoplastics: Thread rolling screws for direct screwing into plastics, Thread 30° or 60° KTG screws for thermoplastics: Single-start or double-start thread (high, low) Thread rolling screws are extruded for larger batch sizes and turned for small batch sizes (Turned parts for direct screwing) High tensile and highly stressable connection of thermoplastics with considerably longer life endurance Thread rolling without chips and loss of material Minimum radial tension, large thread coverage Process-reliable due to torsion strength Shorter and slimmer screws are possible.

With laser generation, components are built up layer by layer from powdered metallic materials used in serial production such as 1.2709 steel or 1.4543 steel. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, this enables us to transfer your computer-generated 3D/CAD models reliably over to their physical form. Here, thin coats of the powder materials are applied to a base object before being melted using a laser into the desired contour. This process is continued on a revolving basis until the workpiece is complete with the final geometric form and the relevant functional properties. Incidentally, we reclaim excess powder material during this process and use all of it for later productions again. Our services in sample development also include technical springs, which we produce in small batches for your sample application. Traditional sample development services are a new addition to our portfolio. Here, we produce a small-scale series of your bent strip parts from original materials.

We can produce the parts you require using specific tools or on special-purpose machines. We produce complex forms and assembly parts with strip thicknesses of 0.10 to 3.00 and with strip widths of up to 100 mm – depending on the material used. The manufacturing processes that we offer include: Punching, forming, embedding, welding, bolting, riveting and mounting. We perform the assembly of small batches by hand, while larger volumes are performed automated if you so wish. Our hybrid sub-assembly production includes the over-moulding of punched parts made of wire or metal with a variety of plastics or silicones. In order to ensure that the desired braking element features optimum properties, we make use of both the temperature durability and the haptic advantages of silicone and the weight advantage of plastic when combining these materials in this fashion. Guide tube assemblies, a combination of springs and tubes, are part of the hybrid component portfolio.

In the area of elastomer technology, the Zimmer Group uses the most modern production processes to manufacture sophisticated workpieces from elastomers. In addition to the transfer molding process, in which the elastomer is placed in a mold, pressed into shape with a die and vulcanized under pressure and heat, we also use the injection transfer molding process. Here, the starting materials are pressed into the mold on an injection molding machine and vulcanize out there. With these two processes, we process a wide range of elastomers such as NBR, silicone, EPDM, FPM or polyurethane. In terms of quantities as well as dimensions, the sky's the limit, because we can manufacture almost any quantity required, from special solutions in quantities of one to medium-sized small batches and large series of more than 10,000 units.

The semi-automatic labeling machine TNC-R was developed for the all-round labeling of tubes. Small batches can be labeled quickly and precisely with the labeller. The tubes are placed manually in the labeling system. As soon as the 2-hand operation is activated, the automated labeling process starts. The product is rotated and shifted, then the wrap-around label is applied exactly to the product. A printing unit can be integrated for individual labeling of the tubes. You can easily print the labels yourself inline. The integration of a printing unit is suitable, for example, for laboratory tubes or sample vessels that have to be provided with individual data.

This manual labelling solution was developed to apply one or more seal labels to folding boxes in small batches - before fully automatic lines are changed over to the product, the products are already sealed with this device. The seal label can be applied to all closure flaps as required. An ultrasonic fork sensor enables the processing of transparent and non-transparent sealing labels. Label roll-on across corners is clean and accurate. The solution for smaller, decentralized labeling jobs: — suitable for transparent/non-transparent (ultrasonic label sensor) — reliable, handy with handle bar — non-slip stand — easy setup — repeatable application of labels — core diameter: 76 mm — max. outer diameter: 200 mm — max. label width: 80 mm — label winding: outer winding

The LSS-PV model was developed to serialize small product batches cost-effectively and according to the requirements of country-specific FMD guidelines. The products are fed manually. A transport system with product carriers guarantees a precise and continuously accurate alignment of the products. After the printing process performed by a thermal inkjet printing system (TIJ), the print data is inspected. If the inspection result is positive, the products are either collected on the collection table at the outfeed of the system or glide over an optionally available transfer plate into an outer shipping case. Defective products are reliably separated from the GOOD products by the product reject station. This process is verified twice in the PLC.

The laboratory vacuum shovel dryer DRUVATHERM® is a system provides reliable scale-up to production scales in the context of product and process development and can likewise be used for small batch production too. The Lödige laboratory vacuum shovel dryer DRUVATHERM® is a horizontal, batch vacuum dryer with a frequency-controlled mixing tool. This mixer consisting of mixing elements adapted to the process and arranged on a shaft according to a specific system - is installed in a cylindrical mixing drum equipped with a temperature control jacket. Rotation of the mixing unit generates a three-dimensional product movement, in which all of the product is constantly in motion. The contact frequency of particles with the heat exchange surface leads to shorter drying times. The chopper rotating at high speeds fitted to the side of the mixing drum is used to disperse the product . This leads to a significant increase in drying capacity and prevents moisture and temperature gradients.

Powder systems with robots can be effectively used even for small batches. In addition to the classic method of powder coating using manual spray guns or masts, the demand for robot systems has risen sharply. Rippert offers the entire spectrum here too.
