Toolmaking

Martan Gummi is your reliable partner when it comes to the manufacture of tools in the field of precise and high-performance toolmaking.

Toolmaking for precise manufacturing in industrial applications

Martan Gummi manufactures tools and precision parts for industrial processes in which dimensional accuracy, repeatability and reproducible quality are decisive. The focus is on the economical implementation of your drawing and specification requirements – from individual parts to small and medium-sized series.

Toolmaking comprises the production of complex milling and precision components as well as the assembly of assemblies. Multi-axis machines and automated processes are available for machining in order to achieve tight tolerances and stable process times.

Scope of services in toolmaking

• Manufacture of milled and turned parts for tool components
• Implementation of individual parts as well as small and medium-sized series
• Assembly of assemblies as a supplementary service
• Designed for precision, repeatability and efficient machining

For manufacturing details and typical machining scopes, you will find supplementary information on CNC machining as well as on rubber machining.

CNC milling for tool components and precision parts

In toolmaking, CNC milling forms the basis for precise, function-relevant components. Martan Gummi manufactures milled components with defined tolerances, clean edges and reproducible dimensional accuracy. Machining is drawing-based and is suitable for individual parts as well as for small and medium-sized series.

Milled items include, among others, mounts, guides, contours, pockets and functional surfaces that are later integrated into tools or assemblies. The focus is on stable process control in order to ensure consistent quality across multiple production cycles.

Typical milling work in toolmaking

• Contour and pocket milling for tool base bodies
• Fits and functional surfaces with tight tolerances
• Series-capable manufacturing with consistent dimensional accuracy
• Machining of technical elastomers and selected plastics

In addition to milling, other processes such as CNC machining or specialised processes of rubber machining are used depending on the component.

Materials for industrial toolmaking

The selection of the suitable material determines the function, service life and machining quality of a tool. Martan Gummi processes technical elastomers and selected plastics that are suitable for precise milling and machining processes and offer stable properties in industrial use.

The materials are selected on the basis of clear criteria: mechanical load capacity, dimensional stability, temperature behaviour and suitability for the intended area of application. Your drawing or technical specification always forms the basis.

Typical materials in use

• Technical elastomers for flexible or damping tool components
• Plastics with good machinability for dimensionally stable components
• Materials with defined friction and wear properties

Further details on material-dependent machining options can be found in the overview of rubber machining as well as on cutting processes in CNC machining.

Depth of manufacturing and assemblies in toolmaking

In industrial toolmaking, the depth of manufacturing determines the fit accuracy and functionality of the later application. In addition to individual part production, Martan Gummi also takes on the assembly of assemblies in order to reduce interfaces and achieve reproducible results.

The combination of cutting machining, material-appropriate processing and assembly of assemblies produces functional tool components from a single source. This facilitates coordination, shortens lead times and increases process reliability.

Services along the manufacturing chain

• Individual part production to drawing
• Assembly of tool components into assemblies
• Dimensional and functional inspection before delivery
• Suitable for prototypes as well as series applications

The depth of manufacturing builds on processes of CNC machining and rubber machining and combines these into a continuous process.

Areas of application of toolmaking

Tools and tool components are used in various industrial applications in which precision and process stability are required. Martan Gummi manufactures components for application scenarios in which functional geometries and reproducible quality are decisive.

Typical applications are found in industrial series production, in assembly and handling processes as well as in special solutions for specific production tasks. The design is always requirement-specific on the basis of the intended use.

Typical fields of application

• Tool components for production and assembly processes
• Mounts, guides and functional components
• Special solutions for specific industrial requirements

Depending on the area of application, different machining processes of CNC machining as well as material-dependent processes of rubber machining interlock.
