How does ILLIG guarantee the quality of its tools?

Through ILLIG standard precision manufacturing.

Modern CNC machines (in climate-controlled manufacturing environment)
Perfectly dimensioned forming segments can be re-ordered at any time
State-of-the-art digital measuring technology
All manufacturing specifications are documented and stored
ILLIG can reproduce every single component

What cutting technology does ILLIG use?

Our cutting systems. They give your products the best cut.

Even a cutting clearance of less than 0.004 mm is possible. At this level of precision, mold inserts can be interchanged with one another, and even replaced later on, without having to perform any refinishing work.

How does ILLIG cool tools for perfect results every time?

Each of the tool's cavities has the same optimal cooling water pressure.

Every format has the same optimal cooling water pressure
Every cavity has the same dimensional precision
Advantage over the competition

How are tool changes performed?

We guide you step-by-step to make it easy to change your tool.

Accelerated tool change
When retooling the machine, the operator is given step-by-step instructions on the control panel on how to proceed. Not only does this save time and make it easier to change the tool and formats, but it also increases the machine's availability.

A long service life — how do ILLIG tools do it?

The superior quality of our thermoforming tools offer several advantages.

A long service life and more than 20 years of spare part availability, guaranteed
Minimal distances between cavities for smaller material widths and less material scrap
Reproducible processes across all cavities enable the use of thinner material sheets
Interfaces to the ILLIG machine software
Setting data records and samples ensure process reliability
Minimized time for on-site commissioning after process commissioning at ILLIG. This ensures that there is no downtime during manufacturing and the tool can be used immediately.
