In Dimeco They specialise in punching and profiling lines for the industrialised manufacture of metal parts. ‘At DIMECO, we offer solutions to metal parts manufacturers. We combine punching, forming, stamping and bending processes to guarantee high production volumes of parts with high-quality finishes.’

Our relationship with them

At Bianditz, experts in dies for punching and profiling lines, we have been manufacturing cutting dies for industrial lines for over 30 years. We also offer customised repair and maintenance solutions for existing dies.

“What stands out most about working with Bianditz is their quick response, adaptability, commitment to dealing with unforeseen circumstances, approachability and teamwork.” Josu Portilla (Mechanical fitter – specialising in line tuning).

Cutting Dies for industrial lines

Industrial punching and profiling lines require dies capable of working continuously, accurately and stably, even in high-volume production. In this type of environment, dies for industrial lines must not only guarantee the quality of the cut or punch, but also integrate perfectly into the line to avoid stoppages, deviations or defects in the final part.

In the case of DIMECO, its lines combine different operations, so dies for profiling lines play a key role in ensuring that each stage of the process maintains tolerances and repeatability.

Dies designed for punching and cutting metal

To respond to this type of line, at Bianditz we design and manufacture punching dies and cutting dies, adapted to the characteristics of each line and the material to be worked.

Specifically, we develop cutting dies for metal and punching dies for metal designed to work at high speeds, minimise wear and tear, and guarantee a long service life for the assembly.

Each die is adjusted to the geometry of the part, the thickness of the material and the production speed, ensuring a clean cut and precise punching even in demanding jobs.

In addition to punching and cutting, many industrial lines incorporate forming and bending operations. In these cases, we manufacture dies for sheet metal bending machines and dies for bending that allow these operations to be carried out within the line itself, maintaining process continuity.

What their needs were and how we solved them

On this occasion, Cauchopren requested a customised rubber injection mold from us to produce bellows for control equipment. Our experience in similar projects enabled us to tackle the job with confidence and deliver a precise result. How did we do it?

• Mold design – mold manufacturing: based on the customer’s specifications, we design a 3D model. Once validated, we generate the 2D drawings to begin programming.

• CAM programming: after gathering the materials, we configure the CNC machine for manufacturing.
• Mold manufacturing: the mold undergoes various machining processes, such as milling, turning, erosion and blasting.
• Adjustment, assembly and control testing: we verify that everything is ready before delivering the final mold.

FINAL RESULT

These types of projects reinforce our position as a rubber mold manufacturer in Irún and as a supplier of customised rubber injection molds in Spain and the Basque Country.

At Bianditz, we continue to offer injection molding and compression molding tailored to each customer’s needs, providing customised industrial molds for rubber with the guarantee of a company with over three decades of experience.

At Bianditz, as injection mold makers and manufacturers of cutting and bending dies, we know that quality is not an option, but a requirement. Whether it is injection molds for rubber, metal or aluminium, or dies for punching, cutting or bending, every project must meet the highest standards before it leaves our premises.

Industrial molds for rubber and metal: control before delivery

Before any mold is delivered, we carry out a thorough check that allows us to guarantee its performance under real conditions. For some molds, we use a thermal verification system with BCR, where the mold is inserted into a specific part and oil is injected at 90°C for 2-3 days. This allows us to detect possible leaks, escapes or internal imperfections that could compromise production.

This procedure is particularly important in the manufacture of customised industrial rubber molds, where any deviation can affect the sealing, filling or durability of the final part.

Contact accuracy in dies and molds

In addition to the thermal test, we carry out a visual and mechanical check: we paint the base of the mold and join it to the upper part. If there are unpainted areas when separating them, we immediately detect the non-contact areas and adjust them to ensure the correct flow of material.

In the case of dies for profiling lines and dies for industrial lines, another method is used where precision in closing is key to obtaining clean cuts and accurate folds.
At Bianditz, control means attention to detail. That’s why our precision injection molds and dies come ready to integrate into demanding environments, with no margin for error.

At Bianditz Molds & Cutting Dies, we are specialists in the manufacture of industrial molds and high quality cutting and bending dies for roll forming lines, among other products. In this article, we are going to explain what cutting and bending dies are, their function within industrial processes and how we manufacture them in our facilities.

What is Die Cutting?

Die-cutting is an essential manufacturing process in industry that allows materials to be shaped by cutting, punching and/or bending. This technique is used to obtain products with specific shapes and dimensions from sheets of materials such as metals. In simple terms, a die functions as a cutting or forming tool that adapts to the desired shape, allowing precise cutting and bending without affecting the integrity of the material.

What are Cutting and Bending Dies?

At Bianditz, we specialise in the manufacture of combined cutting and bending dies. These dies allow the cutting and bending of material for the creation of industrial parts. Cutting and bending dies are widely used in the manufacture of metal components, automotive parts, machinery structures, among others.

How are Bianditz Cutting and Bending Dies Manufactured?

The manufacturing process of cutting and bending dies for roll forming lines at Bianditz follows a series of precise steps to guarantee the quality and performance of the dies.

1. Design phase: The process begins with the design of the die to be manufactured, which will be adjusted to the customer’s specifications and the needs of the final product. With the design, a 3D model of the die is created, which allows an exhaustive study to be carried out so that once everything is correct, the programming can be done.
2. Manufacturing stage: The sheets are fed into a press, where punching and deformation processes are carried out to achieve the desired shape. At this stage, the material is punched and the first modifications are made to shape the dies. Punching allows precise holes to be made, while deformation defines the final shape of the product.
3. Adjustment and assembly: Finally, the mold is checked and after making sure that everything is OK, the die is assembled.

Once the customer receives the die, the process continues as follows: After punching, the deformed sheets are passed through a roll former. This process is carried out using rollers which can have different shapes, depending on the final product to be obtained. The dies manufactured by Bianditz are designed to be integrated before and after the roll former, allowing total control over the shape and accuracy of the roll forming.

Once the material has been profiled, final cutting and any additional adjustments required to perfect the parts are made. In this step, the cutting and bending dies play a key role, as they provide perfectly dimensioned parts with the final details ready to be assembled or processed in later stages.

Types of Dies that we manufacture in Bianditz

At Bianditz, we specialise in three main types of dies, each with specific applications according to the needs of our customers:

• Simple dies: These are dies that perform a single operation, either cutting, punching or folding.
• Compound Dies: Integrate several operations within a single tool, such as cutting and bending, allowing for greater efficiency in the manufacturing process.
• Progressive Dies: These dies perform several operations in a progressive sequence, allowing a higher level of automation and optimisation of the production process.

At Bianditz Molds & Cutting Dies, we specialize in the manufacturing of high-quality industrial molds using injection and compression, including rubber injection molds and rubber-metal molds. In this article, we will explain what molds are, their role in manufacturing processes, and how we produce them in our facilities.

What are industrial molds and what are they for?

Molds are essential tools in industrial manufacturing that are used to shape materials through the use of pressure, heat, and time. This process is essential in various industries, such as the automotive, electrical, white goods, and agricultural sectors. Molds allow the creation of products with precise and consistent shapes, and their use is essential when working with materials such as rubber, plastics, metals, and other composites.

What Materials Are Industrial Molds Made From?

At Bianditz, we manufacture steel molds for rubber parts mainly, however, depending on the client’s needs, molds are made for later use with materials such as metal and, in limited cases, plastic.

The parts made from our steel molds can be made from the following materials:

1. Rubber: Ideal for applications where high elasticity and wear resistance are required.
2. Rubber-metal: In these cases, the rubber part has a metal insert, usually made of aluminum or magnesium, to improve the durability and strength of the final part.
3. Plastic: To a lesser extent, some parts may incorporate plastic inserts to improve specific product properties.

The Mold Manufacturing Process in Bianditz

Bianditz mold manufacturing follows a detailed process to ensure precision and quality in each piece. Below we describe the main phases of the process:

1. Mold design: The process begins with the design of the mold to be manufactured, which will be adjusted to the client’s specifications and the needs of the final product.
2. 3D Design: With the design of the part, a 3D model of the mold is created, which allows to verify the shape, size and cavities necessary for the manufacture of the part.
3. Material selection: In this phase, the appropriate materials are selected according to the characteristics required for the final piece.
4. CAM programming: The CNC machine is prepared for manufacturing using CAM programming. In this phase, the operator checks and centres the material in order to proceed to prepare the mold.
5. Mold manufacturing: The mold is manufactured and may include several cavities depending on the desired production volume. Manufacturing can be done by injection or compression, as we will see below.
6. Adjustment and assembly: Finally, the verification is carried out, and after ensuring that everything is correct, the mold is assembled.

Types of Molds: Compression vs. Injection

These molds can be used to manufacture parts using two main techniques: compression molding and injection molding. Each of these methods has advantages depending on the type of part to be manufactured. Below we explain both processes in detail (this process is NOT carried out at Bianditz).

Compression Molding

Compression molding is a technique used for larger parts or when specific heat resistance properties are required. This process is mainly used when parts have complex shapes or when the material must be subjected to pressure during processing. It is more manual and usually more expensive due to the preheating and pressing steps.

In this case the material, generally in the form of blocks or granules, is heated to a suitable temperature so that it becomes malleable and fluid.

After this, the mold is loaded, the tempered material is placed into the open mold that is shaped like the final part. The mold is closed and pressure is applied to force the material to completely fill the cavity. Depending on the material, additional heat may be applied to cure the part. After the material has taken the desired shape, it is cooled and the part is removed from the mold.

Injection Molding

Injection molding is a faster process than compression molding, especially when it comes to manufacturing parts in multi-cavity molds for high volumes. In this process, the material (usually rubber) is injected into the closed mold, filling all the cavities of the mold.

In this case the molding process is different, the material, usually in the form of granules, is melted or melted at the appropriate temperature. The material is then injected, using a nozzle, into the cavities of the closed mold. Once the material has filled the cavities, the mold is cooled, allowing the material to solidify and take the final shape. Finally, once cooled, the mold is opened and the molded parts are removed.

Este proceso es fundamental para la producción de piezas técnicas de calidad, que son esenciales en diversas industrias como la automoción, ferrocarril, aeronáutico, marítimo, electrónica e infraestructuras.

How does the rubber injection molding process work?

The rubber injection molding process begins with the preparation of the material, which is heated to a suitable temperature so that it acquires a fluid consistency. This molten rubber is then injected under high pressure into a closed mold containing the desired shape of the part to be manufactured. Once the rubber has vulcanised (cooled and solidified), the mold is opened to remove the finished part. This method is ideal for producing large volumes of parts with dimensional accuracy and good surface quality.
