Pillar 4 of innovative toolmaking

Troubleshooting

Formconsult Werkzeugbau GmbH specializes in the systematic analysis and sustainable elimination of the root causes of errors in toolmaking and manufacturing. This is based on a structured, methodical approach to identifying and optimizing technical problems.

In the case of tool defects , geometry, wear, materials, and thermal influences are specifically investigated to precisely locate and rectify weaknesses. Process problems are identified and sustainably optimized through the analysis of relevant parameters such as machine settings, cycle times, and procedures.

quality deviations holistically based on measurement data and manufacturing conditions to ensure stable processes and reproducible quality.

Systematic troubleshooting and problem solving for:

Tool defects
Process problems
Quality deviations

Tool maintenance

Formconsult Werkzeugbau GmbH offers comprehensive tool maintenance services to ensure consistently high production quality and plant availability. This is based on a systematic approach to planning, executing, and optimizing all maintenance measures.

Preventive maintenance includes regular inspections and defined maintenance intervals to detect wear early and avoid unplanned downtime. In addition, condition-based maintenance needs-based maintenance based on wear analyses, measurement data, and real-world operating conditions.

Corrective maintenance involves the targeted repair, optimization, and restoration of damaged or worn tools to a reliable working condition. The goal is to extend tool life, increase process stability, and ensure long-term economic efficiency.

Maintenance types:

Preventive maintenance
Condition-based maintenance
Corrective repair

Documentation & downtime management

Formconsult Werkzeugbau GmbH implements structured solutions in the areas of documentation and tool life management for the transparent monitoring and optimization of tools during ongoing operation. This is based on the continuous, systematic recording of all relevant tool and process data.

Each tool is identified by a unique tool number and its service life is continuously monitored. Defined maintenance intervals enable planned maintenance and help prevent unplanned downtime.

In addition, a complete repair history maintained, documenting all measures taken. A detailed fault log further supports root cause analysis and continuous improvement, with the aim of sustainably increasing process reliability and cost-effectiveness.
