Thermal tool design
Optimize thermal tool design and temperature distribution
Higher component quality and longer tool life!
The thermal design of tools and checking their strength are essential tools for ensuring high-quality production.
With thermal analysis, you avoid temperature issues in the tool and optimize the temperature distribution.
By checking the mechanical strength, you enhance the quality of your components and the lifespan of your tools.
Verification of mechanical strength.
The thermal design and verification of your strength
The thermal tool design and verification of their strength in thermoplastic injection molding tools is increasingly being used today to reduce cooling issues, improve quality, and particularly minimize warping.
For tools used for components made of thermosetting plastics, electric heating is very often provided. Here, it depends on the placement of the heating elements and the position of the temperature sensors. This usually happens based on experiences in toolmaking.
The thermal design.
The simulation of the temperature distribution follows
The following is the simulation of the temperature distribution. We use thermal simulation for this purpose and examine different positions within the given geometry to achieve optimal heating.
This saves the later time-consuming and costly modification of the tool. Additionally, the time until the series premiere is reduced. (SOP).
Simulation of the temperature distribution
The thermal tool design as an important component of your calculation.
Mechanical strength is a crucial criterion for dimensionally stable parts. Building the tool as small and light as possible is an economic requirement, as smaller machines can be used.
However, if the tool does not provide the required quality, it is rarely possible to make improvements. This is aided by structural simulation (FEM), the results of which we will coordinate with you or your toolmaking.
