Competence. Experience. Innovation.
For more than 55 years we have been designing and manufacturing highly productive tools and dies for the most demanding die-cast and CFRP parts in the industry. Our worldwide customer base relies on us as a development partner from the concept phase of a new product until start of production as well as on our comprehensive services throughout the whole product life cycle.
Highly motivated employees
Our success is based on highly qualified and trained employees. Systematic development of skills helped us in building a strong, experienced and innovative team. Continuous improvement of our knowledge ensures sustainable success.
Equipment
Machining
We utilize, almost exclusively, 5-axis CNC Milling-machines equipped with latest generation Heidenhain controls

- 8 medium machining centers, 7 with tool changers and 3 with pallet changers (travel up to 1,335 x 1,250 mm).
- 3 high-speed milling machines for electrode production incl. High-performance extraction system for graphite.
- 2 Gun-drilling mills (5-axis).
- 3 CNC lathes (5-axis)
EDM
- 5 CNC machines with electrode changers with travel distances of 1,800 x 1,100 x 600.
Other machines
- Flat and cylindrical grinding, CNC turning with driven tools, Millutensil 306 Spotting press.
Quality Control
Equipment
- CMM Zeiss Prismo
- Three optical GOM systems (2x Atos Scanner, 1x Tritop)
- Temperature controlled room
all non-conformances detected
- Quality checks during manufacturing (in the CNC´s)
- Full dimensional check on all cavity parts and electrodes
- Optionally full dimensional check on complete die halves (cold sampling)
- Daily analysis on non-conformances
- Regularily held quality circles for root cause analysis and process optimizations
- Inspection reports for castings according to VDA 2
Cooperations
DIE THERM Engineering LLC
The US-American Technology Company located in Grand Rapids, MI has developed a system to monitor and control heat energy transfer during production. The patented solution helps to stabilize thermally sensitive production processes and minimizes scrap and cycle time.
The DieTherm Design Method has also been developed by DieTherm Engineering and helps Schaufler Tooling to lay out and design well balanced internal cooling- and heating systems.
Alpex Technologies GmbH
The Austrian tooling specialist for composite components cooperates with Schaufler Tooling in the development and manufacture of tools for CFRS parts.
KB-Naam
Alexander Naam owns more than ten years experience in launching CFRP parts production, especially in the fields of part and tool design. He supports Schaufler Tooling in tool design, especially for SMC, Prepreg and RTM tools.
