FOR STANDARDISED HYBRID COMPONENT PRODUCTION Cost pressure, variant diversity and the associated low volumes require the corresponding adaptability and flexibility of production systems. In order to meet these requirements, consistent modularisation and standardisation is required. From a robust six-axis robot, a modular gripper system and process assemblies to an icon-based programming interface, we have everything you need for future-proof production.

Our services at a glance: High-performance precision injection molds, with core working steps all realised without exception in in-house processes at LEGROM In-house project management Simulation of temperature control, filling behaviour, shrinkage and warping 3D-based mold design (Step, Catia, IGES, Solidworks interfaces) 3D simulations State-of-the-art equipment Automated EDM centres Electrode production on automated HSC milling centres Palletised hard milling, sinker and wire EDM Mold maintenance Prototype production Mold sizes up to 546 x 646 mm Cost-effective injection molds from Eastern Europe and Asia Short delivery durations for injection molds Prototype molds with a short delivery duration Prototype construction Time to market – a factor which is increasingly important today. It is therefore possible at LEGROM to generate parts in good time which correspond to series parts. LEGROM has a variety of standard mold forms with different concepts into which mold inserts with different functions can be integrated. Sample parts which often do not differ from series parts can be manufactured rapidly and inexpensively in this manner. Sophisticated mold concepts enable the realisation of most sprue types, different slide directions and core pulls. LEGROM offers its customers the chance to create high-quality samples in good time with this concept, and several thousand of these can also be manufactured to a consistent quality level. We can create prototypes of every kind for you for demonstration purposes, initial trial series or small-scale series: Stereolithography Laser sintering Vacuum molding 3D printing Milled plastic or aluminium parts Prototype molds adapted to suit your quantities

The design of an injection molding tool begins with precise 3D modeling of the mold in Cimatron. This powerful CAD/CAM system enables the detailed elaboration of complex geometries and the efficient planning of all tool components. The injection molding process is then simulated using CadMould to analyze and optimize filling behavior, cooling, and potential sources of error at an early stage. This enables us to ensure high quality, functionality, and cost-effectiveness of the mold even before production begins.

The MoldControl servo controls including control panel offer an innovative operating concept with which all important parameters and functions are displayed clearly and quickly accessible. A fundamentally revised software and hardware makes our latest generation an intuitive and seamless addition to any injection molding application.
