The construction department provides the design specifications for tool making: in close co-operation with skilled personnel from other departments, with well-founded know-how and at modern CAD /CAM work stations.

Construction

Comprehensive know-how from a single source

Craemer is your partner for all processes. We cover the entire process chain, from the first design consultation over feasibility analysis to press simulation. We bring high strength steels, stainless steel and aluminium into sophisticated forms. Thanks to the close cooperation with our Plastics Construction and Development Department, we are also very versed in new technologies and materials.

Versatile areas of application

You will find our top quality products
in the automotive sector in seat constructions, seatbelt systems, doors, crossbar beams, catalytic convertors, convertible rooftops and in the body of the engine compartment,
in commercial vehicles in lorry exhaust and spring systems,
diverse applications for agricultural technology,
in heating and sanitary technology,
in "white goods".

Basis for sustainable products

In close co-operation with the development department and the in-house tool making, tools are constructed at the company headquarters for the manufacture of metal and plastic products to meet the strictest requirements. The skilled employees in the construction department have ideal qualifications, having gained experience and well-founded know-how over several decades. During tool construction they take into account customer wishes and demands, product requirements, feasibility and producibility, and all this in close co-operation with Craemer’s quality assurance.

Use of modern technologies

Tool construction is carried out at modern CAD-/CAM work stations, for example with CATIA. Where necessary, drawing simulations on the basis of auto-form-systems offer the possibility to demonstrate the forming process at the computer prior to production. Feasibility studies or tests on stability and time-simulation of mould filling safeguard the ensuing tool making and production processes. The construction department provides the groundwork for the tool concepts, for the creation of the first samples/prototypes or for serial production.

Innovation is the future ability

Whether it is a question of making tools for sophisticated metal parts in close collaboration with the customer, or producing injection moulds for their own plastics programme, Craemer construction is always accurate and precise, innovative and sustainable with a view to the future.
