DESMA offers systems proven systems for the production of rubber or silicone parts used by the automotive part producers. Single and dual centerplate sliding devices are ideal for engine gasket production. DESMA sliding devices, used in conjunction with split bar molds are efficient methods to produce rubber to metal bonded bushings. Knock out devices coupled with laser scanners integrated into the machine control system allow for automated production methods.
Regardless if your needs are vertical clamping stations, horizontal, side injection or top injection, DESMA has a machine portfolio of machines, accessories and automation systems used by todays leading automotive suppliers.
D 968.560 T (S1)
A D 968.560 T shown with quick change mold device and outside station light curtain posts. Side inject machines are workhorses in the automotive industry for engine gasket production. The retractable injection unit and fixed mold lower bolster allow for stack tooling and center mounted cold runner distribution decks for increased productivity.
D 968.500
A D 968.500 ZZ dual ram shown with front plate exchange kit. This machine features two fully hydraulic cylinders that provide a very homogeneous distribution of clamp tonnage inside the mold carrier. The relatively small injection volume, coupled with this large heating platen and siding device are ideal for large EV battery gaskets or bi-polar plate production.
Sigma 250
A Sigma 250 shown with servo hydraulics. Sigma series machines are our value series available with available features such as silicone stuffers, front and rear shuttle kits and our proven FIFO injection. Sigma series machines are available in either 250 or 400 ton size ranges. Exhaust hangers and engine mounts are commonly produced on such machines.
