Tooling and molds
Melotte, a specialist in tool- and mold making
Initially, Melotte started as a mold and tool maker. Melotte also had its own training center where new employees further trained themselves in the craftsmanship of mold making. Due to the shift of this type of work to low wage countries like China, there was a shift from the making of new molds to the revision and maintenance of molds.
Manufacturing of tooling and cutting molds
More and more punch molds are being supplied as part of an automated production line. However, the design of these punch molds unfortunately does not always receive the necessary attention. Due to a lack of high precision finishing the mold and the cutters are rapidly damaged by cold welding, resulting in a short lifespan of these expensive punch molds. The sharpening and re-calibrating of the punch molds is also much more difficult. Does this problem sound familiar to you? If so, then Melotte is your ideal partner. Melotte has more than 50 years of experience in making high-quality punch molds and it has already carried out this optimization work for a number of companies.
Revision and maintenance of molds
Carrying out a revision or maintenance of your mold is important to ensure that your mold continues to work properly and production quality is maintained. Our mold and tool makers disassemble, overhaul and assemble a wide range of molds so that they can be used optimally in production again. When a mold arrives from the customer, it is completely disassembled in the workshop. Certain parts are adjusted or replaced based on customer demand and specifications. All this is done in close consultation with the customer, we always ensure correct feedback.
