Filame specialises in the mass production of parts on automatic presses using multi-step tools.

Filame’s Engineering Department designs, manufactures and maintains all the tools that Flame uses for its production.  As a result, Filame has developed unique know-how that enables it to guarantee its customers the manufacture of the most complex parts, meeting the exacting quality requirements of sectors such as the automotive, defence, medical and aerospace industries, …..

Filame developed an automatic press tool for a 125-tonne Haulick & Roos press for a major automotive assembly company.  This is a 15-steps tool capable of producing 2 parts per stroke at a very high rate (12,000 p/h).

The parts are made of spring 301 stainless steel, 1.5 mm thick, and feature several oriented folds.

To support its rapid development in the manufacturing of small wire components, Filame has just acquired a new wire forming machine.

This new 15-axis digital machine can process wire with diameters ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, at very high speeds.  It reinforces Filame’s capacity to manufacture torsion springs, extension springs and wire formed in small diameters.

The manufacture of springs and formed wire in small diameters is one of Filame’s specialties, as it produces springs from wire with a diameter of 0.1 mm for various industries such as locksmithing, push-buttons, electronics, electromechanics, etc.

As part of its ongoing drive to improve production quality,  Filame has acquired several new MicroStudio CAL2D-50 electronic profile projectors.

These enable operators of both spring machines and presses for flat parts to measure several parts directly, quickly and very accurately as the production process progresses, and to adjust any deviations.

These electronic profile projectors complement all the traditional means used by operators, giving them a better view of measurements and compliance with tolerances.
