Tool design and tool shop at Bock: Components for office furniture from one cast.
For the production of our complex components for office furniture made from plastics, aluminium and polyurethane we mainly rely on self-constructed tools. Therefore our tool design and tool shop departments at our plants in Germany, Hungary and China develop freeform surface tools with a total weight of up to 12 tons, which enable us to produce components for the office furniture industry according to the usual Bock high-quality standard.
Our long-term competence in the field of tool design and tool manufacturing also gives us the opportunity to constantly improve our performance – either by the use of fully automatic CAD/CAM technology or by steady investments into new machines. We have several modern milling centres with automatic tool changers and a capacity for up to 60 different milling and drilling tools. Besides an enormous increase in capacity we can herewith also guarantee higher flexibility, shorter reaction times for tool changes and a higher planning security. By our internal repair shop and our 24h emergency service downtimes are practically eliminated.
