AM Distributors (Single-Body & Rings)

We provide HPDC industry with installation ready AM single-body distributors & distributor rings. Made from BÖHLER W360 AMPO these AM parts contain our unique Internal cooling system designs and have been proven to be an excellent solution for the effective extraction of heat from the tool body. When combined with our high performance alloys, AM is an excellent solution to reduce cycle times and increase productivity in many HPDC applications.

High Performance AM Solutions

• AM cooling systems enhance the rapid solidification of the injection material, resulting in improved cast structure with less defects.
• Reduced thermal loads results in longer tool life by reducing galling, soldering and heat checking behaviour.
• Applying AM cooling solutions to parts around the gate results in faster material solidification and helps shorten the cycle time.
• The superior material properties of BÖHLER W360 AMPO has been proven to significantly improve tool life when compared to conventional material grades.  This proprietary grade has been designed to outperform many traditional tool steels such as 1.2709 (Maraging 300), 1.2343 ESR (H11) and 1.2344 ESR (H13).

Benefits of AM Inserts

• Improved cycle time – multiple customer case studies shown cycle time reductions of 1-3 secs.
• Increased tool life – multiple customer case studies shown tool life increases of 50-100%.
• Reduced maintenance – multiple customer case studies shown significant reductions of die cleaning and maintenance, in many cases savings of 5-10 cents per part.
