![]() The older Roeders RP800 machining centre producing a mould for a sanitiser dispenser enclosure It also increased machining precision, as we could adjust the offsets in the control according to the CMM measurements on the last part." "A manual handling device speeded transfer of zero-point pallets within the cell, often 24/7, resulting in a high level of productivity as we were able to preset the pallets offline and load them accurately onto the machine table. "Soon after we started out over 20 year ago, we bought a 42,000rpm Roeders 600p VMC networked to a Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine and linked to an Erowa cell housing sixteen 360mm square pallets. Paul Ryan explains: “We need to hold tolerances of less than 10µm on nearly every tool we produce and these German high-speed machines have always allowed us to do that. ![]() Extreme accuracy and repeatability of machining is required when producing this type of tool and is the reason that RDMS selected Roeders machining centres right from the start. The white goods and electronics sectors are also regular recipients of the company's tools.Ī particular specialism at Oldham is the machining of two-shot tooling, used to produce complex parts from two different materials, without the need for assembly, by overmoulding plastic around a preformed plastic or metal insert, often in high volumes. In addition, the firm manufactures injection moulds for producing interior trim that ends up in, for example, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, JLR and Nissan cars. ![]() Medical work features significantly, including providing assistance to suppliers of hospital and laboratory equipment in the current pandemic. The component on the table of the Roeders RXP500: two impressions of a four-impression plastic injection mould tool ![]() ![]() Some of the more challenging applications involve in-mould labelling and multi-shot tool production. The machines were supplied to the toolmaker's Oldham factory in autumn 2020 by sole UK agent Hurco Europe.Įstablished in 1998 and run by co-owners Neil Richardson and Paul Ryan, RDMS works closely with its customers to provide high-end, multi cavity tools to a maximum of two tonnes in weight in short lead-times at competitive prices for producing the most exacting plastic components. Rapid Design Manufacturing Solutions (RDMS), a leading manufacturer of plastic injection production and rapid mould tools, has invested in a second pair of ultra-high-precision, 3-axis, vertical-spindle machining centres (VMCs) from the German manufacturer, Roeders. ![]()
