      Repairs & modifications

      Even the best tools can break or have to be modified due to a change of article. Talk to us about what is feasible and cost-effective. Regardless of whether it was built in our tool shop or by one of our production partners. Repairs or modifications of tools are no problem for our company. Laser technology offers many possibilities for economic use in tool making. This may involve the repositioning of contours, correction of a few tenths of a millimetre or changes to the surface geometry of injection moulding tools. We follow our customers' wishes exactly when making the desired corrections, in order to achieve a perfect result.

    7. Ring- and Barrel Heater Bands

      Ring- and Barrel Heater Bands

      Ring- und Zylinderheizelemente: Ring- und Zylinderheizelemente finden ihren Einsatz bei der Beheizung von zylindrischen Werkzeugen, Extrusionszylindern, Flanschen, Plastifizierzylindern und anderen industriellen Heizaufgaben. Heizbänder für den professionellen Einsatz Unsere Ring- und Zylinderheizelemente werden individuell angefertigt und garantieren eine gleichmäßige Wärmeverteilung. Die Heizmanschetten sind für alle runden oder zylindrischen Geometrien ab einem Durchmesser von 55mm geeignet und ab einer Breite von 20mm lieferbar. Montage der Ringheizkörper: Ringheizkörper und Zylinderheizkörper sind in Normalausführung bis auf das Maß des Innendurchmessers spreizbar, damit sie von der Seite über den Maschinenzylinder geschoben werden können. Nach der Montage sind die Spannschrauben der Spanneinrichtungen fest anzuziehen, erst dann dürfen die Rund- bzw. Flächenheizkörper in Betrieb gesetzt werden. Alle Heizelemente funktionieren nur dann einwandfrei, wenn sie auf der zu beheizenden Maschine oder dem Werkzeug zur optimalen Wärmeabgabe fest montiert sind Verschiedene Ausführungen der Zylinderheizkörper: Die Wema Ring- und Zylinderheizelemente gibt es in verschiedenen Ausführungen. Sie können zwischen einer Mikanit-Isolierung für Temperaturen bis 300°C und einem keramik-isolierten Produkt, die bis ca. 600°C geeignet sind, wählen. Wir liefern Halbschalen mit Spannbändern oder Spannwinkeln sowie spreizbare Ausführungen mit Schraublaschenverschluss.
