Automated EDM
for 100-percent
fitting accuracy
Cables are laid to each individual
mould in the 24-fold injection
mould. Sensors then check the
pressure in the cavity for each injection
moulding procedure.
Precision in design,
production, control, supply
Sønderborg Værktøjsfabrik A/S
was founded in 1973, today has
28 employees on its payroll and
is based in Jutland, the southern
part of Denmark. The company is
specialised in multiple injection
moulds for the production by the
million of parts for medical technology.
Anyone successfully
making moulds in the high-wage
country, Denmark, must either
reduce manual procedures as far
as possible to a minimum or
must be able to supply exceptional
precision. Sønderborg
Værktøjsfabrik A/S combines
both perfectly and has thus acquired
an outstanding reputation
for itself in the field of medical
technology. The key to success
lies in automated production with
ED machines from Agie. The
consistency of the data and the
clamping are further factors so
that no µm precision is lost. As
Henrik Schwartz, Managing Director
of Sønderborg Værktøjsfabrik
A/S said: «Precision is not
just a matter of microns for us,
but our company's philosophy is
behind it, as is shown from the
design until matching».
Sønderborg Værktøjsfabrik A/S receives
CAD programs from the customer
for the medical technology
parts. These serve as the basis for
the development and design of the
injection mould.
