| Aixtooling becomes Service Provider |
18.12.09 |
Aixtooling GmbH, Toshiba Machine Corp., and Sojitz Europe PLC and Sojitz Machinery Corp. conclude an after-sales service agreement for services involving GMP systems technology (high-precision optical glass mold press machine).
The service agreement states that Aixtooling GmbH will be offering service and repair services for the European customers of Toshiba Machine Corp. This will utilize Aixtooling employees' many years of experience with Toshiba molding presses. This experience will be extended by means of special training units.In case of problems or errors in production operations, European customers can inform Aixtooling GmbH as the initial contact using a hotline. Trained employees of the Aachen company will then handle communications with the Japanese machine manufacturer, or coordinate subsequent actions. Depending on the problem, a case-by-case decision can be made whether Japanese technicians are needed on site for the troubleshooting.The service agreement also includes regular maintenance work on GMP machines that end users cannot or do not want to carry out themselves. Various machine components that experience tells must be rotated out are already available in the Aixtooling warehouse, and can be installed quickly when needed. This procedure provides the users of the precision molding process with significant time savings.Your contact for this subject:Dipl.-Ing. Guido PongsTel.: +49 241 8904 402

| Molds and mold systems for precision glass molding |
The most important components in an optical mold system are the core inserts. Their high-precision fabrication is the core competence of Aixtooling GmbH. Our service offering goes far beyond this, however.
In precision glass molding, the lenses are generally pressed between two molding tools. But for these to be positioned with the accuracy needed and precisely moved in the high-temperature process, a complicated tool system is needed. Especially for the use of multiple tools and numerous synchronously working tool pairs to improve efficiency requires a high degree of system competence.
Aixtooling sees itself as a system provider, that is, it can design and deliver on a task-specific basis not only the optically relevant tool components such as the dies, but also tool matrices, adapter systems, precision guides, and much more.

| VDI Workshop on "Molded Optics" |
01.12.09 |
On December 1 and 2, 2009, VDI was holding a project workshop in Düsseldorf during which, among other things, the research results for the European research project "Production4µ" have been presented.
Chair of the workshop was Prof. Dr. Fritz Klocke from Fraunhofer Institute of Production Technology IPT.Aixtooling GmbH participated in the workshop with its own presentation on the subject of mold making for precision molding of optical glass (see attachment). In detail the following subjects are to be covered:- potential and implementation options of micro-optics
- production-appropriate design
- materials
- molding tools and machines
- processes
- measurement and quality assurance
Please find the program as well as the Aixtooling publication attached.
