OEE-BOOST – Fischer Tool&Die

WITH SCHAUFLER FISCHER GROUP

We are at your side from the very first moment of project planning through collaborative development and sampling to completion and beyond.

We see ourselves as a partner for your ambitious projects, and that includes both expertise transfer and an extended workbench. Of course, we also offer flexible after-sales support to ensure that maintenance or any repairs run as smoothly as possible.

CYCLE TIME

Cycle time

The thermobalance is crucial

We will define the optimal cycle time with you.

Your input:

Dry cycle of your casting cell,
Cooling system (media, number of circuits, liter capacities, temperatures),
Spray system (standard, minimum quantity, oil mist),
Casting geometry.

Our contribution:

Optimized gating system,
Calculation of energy inputs and outputs as a basis for optimal cooling design
Structure of active cooling elements,
Validation through cycle simulation.

Your benefit:

Achieving the optimal cycle time with your casting cell right from the start,
No compromises on quality and mold life,
Existing production can often be increased by more than 20%.

UTILIZATION RATE

Utilization rate

After cycle time, improving equipment utilization usually offers the second greatest potential. When manufacturing complex castings, the mold often causes the largest share of all production interruptions. Therefore, Schaufler Fischer Group has developed numerous solutions to minimize downtime.

Set-up / mold change

Quick change of slide units on the casting machine; <10 min from shot to shot is possible,
Patented quick change of mold inserts with ejector unit for compact castings such as shock towers, developed by Schaufler Fischer Group,

Flashing / dimensional deviations

Homogeneous mold surface temperatures
Patented flash stop developed by Schaufler Fischer Group,
Mold centering and slider locking, developed by Schaufler Fischer Group and now used in more than 300 molds.

Repairs in the casting machine

Quickly changeable cores and sub-inserts.
Tungsten-based coatings
Leak-free plugs for cooling holes: Guaranteed for the entire mold life.
Pipe-in-pipe solution for spot cooling to reduce leakage points
Corrosion-free water (water treatment solutions)

QUALITY

Quality

Even in reasonably functioning production processes, the scrap and rework rate can be minimized through quality optimization.

We contribute to this by:

Additively manufactured cavity parts and sub-inserts with conformal cooling
Jet cooling,
Exact design and implementation of squeeze pins where required,
Vacuum / sealed molds,
Organization and execution of joint optimization workshops,
Analysis of potential and actual casting defects and development of solutions – we carry out very detailed simulations
