Quality & Longevity
Experts Using Quality Materials
Cobra Tool and Die Ltd are proud to utilise the services, machinery and materials of quality suppliers. Using the best machinery and getting the best materials from the start ensures we can deliver long-lasting reliable tools to our customers, giving precision moulding year after year.
Die Sets
Standardised, modular-designed system elements are nowadays essential to keep the production of injection and diecasting moulds at the highest state-of-the-art level, Cobra Tool & Die Ltd use the best on the market, supplied by Hasco.
Components
Specialised components of the utmost quality ensure your tool with give years of service. Supplied by Hasco we use only the best components available on the market.
Hot Runner Systems
Unlike with a conventional tool, rigidifying runners are avoided in the processing of thermoplastics by using hot runner tools. This dispenses with all kinds of reworking, whilst making the manufacture automatable and low-cost. The hot runner technology also guarantees the highest quality. Supplied by Hasco.
Hasco Standards
K-Standards: Drilled plates, machined on all sides. Can be combined by the modular principle. For injection moulding tools, compression moulds and pressure diecasting moulds.
P-Standards: Undrilled plates, machined on all sides, for moulds, tools, machines, and more.
Reliability & Longevity
Using Hasco Components give Cobra Tool and Die Ltd the quality materials we require to deliver a product that will run with precision for many years.
CNC Wire Erosions Machines
The CUT 300 SP is the most versatile machine range on the market, capable of cutting 45° cones, and can do this whatever the height of the part. The principle of crossed double guiding of the X, Y, U and V axes independently and of the same dimensions, allows machining to be done with a large taper, thus widening the scope of possible applications for wire spark erosion.
The CUT 30 P has on board technologies that allow a unique speed cut. These technologies optimise main, 2nd and 3rd finishing cuts, to attain the most common values of surface roughness, like Ra 0.60 μm (24 μin) and Ra 0.35 μm (14 μin) to be achieved in a minimum of time. These high speed technologies, make the CUT 30 P a very powerful competitive production unit.
CNC Hole Burning Machines
The DRILL 20 is a production machine designed for the drilling of parts in hard materials such as hardened steels or carbides.
Its drilling capability ranges from 0.15 to 2.0 mm diameter through a depth of 200 mm.
Automatic technology selection according to material and piece heigh, material and electrode diameter. Graphic control and simulation program.
Automatic and manual axis movement.
Toolox 33
Pre-hardened, free machining steel with very high impact toughness and exceptional cleanliness. This steel may be polished and etched with excellent results. Because of the very low levels of internal stress, large sections may be machined without movement and stress relieving is neither necessary nor recommended.
Typical Applications
Toolbox 33 is especially suited for plastic moulds having excellent polishing and photo-etching ability which are guaranteed to NADC207-97. Other applications include rubber moulds, bending tools and general engineering where high toughness, high impact strength and great stability are important. This material can substitute and will give better results than qualities such as 1.2311, 1.2738 and 1.2312.
State-Of-The-Art Software
VISI is acknowledged as one of the world's leading PC based CAD/CAM software solutions for the Mould & Die industries. It offers a unique combination of applications, fully integrated wireframe, surface and solid modelling, comprehensive 2D, 3D and 5 Axis machining strategies with dedicated high speed routines.
CAD Drawings
VISI Mould provides the complete mould tool design solution based on industry specific automation that guides the user through the mould development process. Dynamic operation previews provide the designer with a 'real time' view of how component changes will affect the tool design.
Intricate Design
VISI Electrode is an automated module for the creation and management of electrodes and their holders for the manufacture of detailed and hard to machine features on mould and press tools. Comprehensive holder design, simulation and collision checking ensures that the electrode will operate right first time.
Vero 2D Machining & 3D Modelling
VISI Machining 2D provides a practical, intuitive and simple solution for CNC programming including 4 and 5 axis indexing. Knowledge based feature recognition will automatically select features directly on the solid geometry and create reliable milling and drill cycle toolpaths.
Reliability & Longevity
Used by Cobra Tool and Die Ltd's experienced designers to read, develop or enhance customers’ requirements and to optimise design, performance and reliability of the finished product. Prototypes can be produced by 3D printing for one off or limited number samples to for testing and further development if necessary.
