Tool failure due to thermal shock
Materials are frequently upgraded to improve or optimise their performance. Steel, for example, is tempered or hardened. Likewise, handling a glowing product, as is the case in the glass industry, is also unavoidable.
The aim in all cases is to avoid damaging the component visibly or geometrically but also, in particular, to avoid changing its technical properties. Therefore, it is essential that the materials used for handling do not absorb the high temperature, for example, at contact points, do not damage the surface and do not become damaged themselves when in direct contact with the product.
Sample Solutions
Spacer sleeves
Spacer sleeves made from high-performance ceramics are used whenever a defined clearance must be created between two components or in situations where a distance must be bridged.
Complex 3D components for thermal insulation
The manner in which these insulation materials are implemented can be as varied as the requirements placed on them: from a simple intermediate layer all the way to complex 3D components with various material combinations that are produced on a 5-axis…
Sensor protection
Examples of sensor protection include wear caps, wear disks or wear plates, which are used to protect the sensor behind.
