Brandauer’s dedicated Wire EDM cell houses multiple Agie Charmilles wire EDM machines, fully integrated with CAD/CAM software. The rarity of these machines in the UK showcase the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and investment in new and innovative technology.

They are crucial in the manufacture of Brandauer’s three unique tooling standards (Standard Fixed, Precision and Modular tooling).

The design of any Brandauer progression press tooling benefits from bespoke CAD software, including Visi Vero 3D which uses intelligent 3D Toolpaths with High Speed Milling routines.

This use of the latest technology coupled with the experience and know-how of expert tool designers and makers combine to improve productivity, reduce machine cycle times and ensure the most challenging and complex parts are produced at the highest quality standards.

The design and manufacture of progression and precision tools are part of a promise to deliver a complete manufacturing solution for the production of pressed metal components.

Brandauer’s three unique tooling standards are outlined below and are used dependent on customer requirements and component complexity. Brandauer pride itself on the quality and longevity of its bespoke tooling standards, with the capability to run tools in presses from anything between 10 to 1,200 strokes per minute, consistently for some 15-20 years.

Furthermore, Brandauer also offer an established and successful tooling transfer faculty which is outlined below.
