EROWA as a partner in the mold and die making

 

Tool and Mold manufacture rethought: Solid processes for complex geometries.

Efficient for single parts and small series

Mold manufacture and tool design/construction are among the most demanding disciplines in production: changing parts, small batch sizes, tight tolerances. This is precisely where EROWA systems for workholding technology, automation and process control unfold their full potential.

Whether you are milling electrodes, eroding tools or building fixtures: Our solutions enable flexible production of small batches, with high repeatability and measurable increases in efficiency.

Your advantages in CNC automation for Mold & Tool design/construction

  • Zero-point clamping systems for tool design/construction - fast, precise, universal
  • Reduced set-up times in mold manufacture thanks to external Preadjustment 
  • Combined milling, grinding & erosion processes on standardized pallets
  • Automated erosion technology for unattended night shifts
  • Flexible clamping technology for high-mix, low-volume production
  • Seamless integration into CNC fixture construction and component production

Typical challenges. EROWA standardizes what is changeable

Different components, constant set-up processes

Solution: With zero-point clamping technology and palletizing, you create uniform interfaces - regardless of workpiece size or processing method.

Time lost due to manual set-up of eroding machines

Solution: Automation in EDM technology with EROWA enables unattended shifts and automatic workpiece and electrode changes with full process control.

Inefficient separation of milling, eroding and grinding processes

Solution: With standardized workpiece holding technology and cross-process planning via JMS® 4.0, you can integrate processing steps and minimize downtimes.

From fixture construction to component production - everything under control

EROWA systems are made for CNC fixture construction, small series production and component production in Mold design/construction. Modularclamping elements, automated workpiece loading and software-supported drains create a high dimension of standardization - with full flexibility.

This turns variable single-part production into plannable, scalable production with consistently high quality.

The reduced set-up times with simultaneous elevation of both flexibility and productivity - that speaks for itself. (...) We used to have 3,000 to 4,000 spindle hours a year on two machines. Now, with the help of automation, we achieve 5,200 spindle hours on just one machine, despite a two-week maintenance period.
