Overmolding & Assembling

Right from the product development phase, our team of experienced Product Developers and Tool Designers ensures an optimum product design in terms of technology, quality, costs and ecological production. We produce customer-specific prototypes to provide advice with respect to serial production. In the testing laboratory, the prototype can be tested and analyzed in real time, so that it can be optimized based on the results. We can draw on the following technical resources for ensuring competent development services:

• CAD programs: SolidWorks and CATIA V5
• FEM analyses
• Moldflow®
• 3D printing

Each year, we process more than 1,000 tons of plastics. These include unfilled, filled as well as highly filled technical and high-temperature-resistant plastics – such as PA, PBT, PPS, PEI, LCP or PEEK. More than 60 horizontal and vertical injection molding machines with clamping forces of between 150 and 4,000 kN are used.

Diehl Metal Applications continuously develops customized manufacturing concepts – such as high-performance workpiece carrier circulation systems for projects with high volumes. Even modular production concepts are possible, which can be expanded based on volumes. Furthermore, we offer downstream or fully integrated operations such as the completely automated assembly, measurement, quality control and packaging of electronic components.

The manufacturing concept developed by us enables fully automated production even for medium volumes. Our customers thus profit from a reasonable part price with comparatively low investment costs.

After completion of the design phase, the required tools are produced. These ensure maximum quality serial production. The Tool & Stamping Center of Diehl Metal Applications is equipped with a wealth of high-tech machines and profits from its longstanding experience in the manufacture of sophisticated tool and fixture concepts. In this way, we guarantee you optimum process and and project development at all times. Small quantities for pre-series production, prototypes and serial production involving large volumes can thus all be produced in an economic way.

Our automated production process ensures consistent quality across a long lifecycle. When it comes to quality-relevant characteristics, we carry out 100%, in-process and product-specific inspection scans. A 3D measuring machine is also available for quality assurance purposes. Besides this, our quality management system is certified according to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.

Diehl Metal Applications develops and produces complete or partial solutions along the value-adding chain, based on customer requirements: 

• Support in selecting intelligent material combinations 
• Highly integrated production processes in copper alloy production
• State-of-the-art stamping & surface technologies
• Overmolding & assembly technology

Our customers and partners are free to decide at any time whether they want a partial solution where they provide the material, or if they wish to hand over the entire process to us.
