Rampf with new tooling board for foundries

The Rampf Group plans to present a new polyurethane board at the Cast Expo trade fair in Atlanta, USA. According to the company, leading foundries were involved in the development.

The Raku Tool WB-1258 polyurethane block material from Rampf is characterized by its abrasion resistance and, according to the developer, enables more than 100,000 impressions to be made. The material, which was specially developed for mold plates and core boxes, also shortens the processing time by up to 50 percent compared to standard products, Rampf says. It is also up to 80 percent cheaper than steel.

The Raku Tool WB-1223 is another tool that Rampf will be showcasing at Cast Expo. It is used in applications such as foundry pattern plates, tapping tools and testing devices for metal parts. The easy-to-machine material impresses with its abrasion and impact resistance as well as dimensional stability.

Special tooling boards made of high-density polyurethane are designed for use in applications such as hammer and metal forming, foundry pattern and tool making and reactive injection molding (RIM) due to their abrasion-resistant properties.
