Meusburger has introduced a new high-performance flat guiding unit, the E 1080, designed for injection moulds with limited installation space and high requirements for precision and wear resistance. The new addition expands the company’s range of flat guiding units, which are widely used for achieving precise and durable injection moulds.
The company highlights that selecting the right mould guiding system is critical to ensuring the quality and service life of injection moulds, with durability, precision, and load-carrying capacity being key factors. Meusburger manufactures most of its guiding elements in-house at its main facility in Wolfurt, covering the entire process from material selection to the finished product. This enables consistent quality control through high-precision measuring systems.
Supported by an efficient logistics network and fast order processing, Meusburger ensures short lead times for its components. The company notes that high-quality guiding solutions contribute to reduced maintenance costs and minimised downtime, improving overall cost-effectiveness throughout the mould’s lifecycle.
E 1080: Uncompromising precision in a compact design
The new high-performance flat guiding unit E 1080 is Meusburger’s answer to the challenge of having to accommodate high loads in a very limited installation space. The guiding unit features maximum load-carrying capacity in minimal installation spaces.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Maximum compactness: Thanks to the ideal width-to-depth ratio, the E 1080 requires significantly less space. The vertical screw connection eliminates interfering screw holes, freeing up valuable space for cavities or cooling channels.
- Uncompromising precision: The positive and frictional taper locking ensures precise positioning that is free of play, even in case of minor manufacturing inaccuracies.
- Extreme durability: The sophisticated guide relief area with large contact surface guarantees optimum distribution of the contact pressure. Large guide relief radii and an additional I-beam profile enable maximum wear resistance and a longer service life, even at mould temperatures of up to 300 °C.
- Versatile application: In combination with the specially designed sliding plates E 1083, the high-performance flat guiding unit E 1080 is ideal for use in 3-plate moulds.
With the introduction of the high-performance flat guiding unit E 1080, Meusburger offers its customers an innovative solution that enables a more compact mould design with maximum efficiency and process safety.
