It also eliminates issues such as glue lines and how to handle left over pieces of board and the end product is fantastic. The value to building custom shapes can be a huge savings in both time and material. We are looking to be an asset to our customers and we realized this was a great opportunity to fill a gap in an industry that can really benefit from this product.” Places that don’t do large volume also noted the cost of the equipment as a factor. But, for many places running an assembly line the cure time has been a limiting factor in their ability to put this product to use. Typically the two-part epoxy paste is fully cured in 24 hours. The first concern is the time to apply the paste and the time until it can be machined. John Shepherd noted, “We listened to our customers who voiced concerns about using paste in the past. In fact, by the time of this post, AIN has already completed four large paste application projects. In addition to supplying RAKU-TOOL® Close Contour Paste, John Shepherd, President of AIN Plastics, announced that AIN is now available, on a per job basis, to complete custom applications of RAKU-TOOL® Close Contour Paste for customers at the AIN Madison Heights facility. The RAKU-TOOL® Close Contour Paste and Tartler dispensing machine is a far cry from the early days of epoxy tooling paste systems.ĪIN Plastics Offers Custom Application Services The equipment is easy to use, cleans up within 15 minutes, and outputs a smooth steady flow of paste at a consistent viscosity. He went on to say “once we were confident in our product and working with Tartler we brought the process to AIN Plastics who immediately saw the value.” Unlike some past machines that ran on high pressure, Tartler equipment runs on a safe low pressure system. They have listened to the needs of both the end user as well as the product manufacturers, and that’s why we wanted to partner with them. Mark Davidson, RAMPF Sales Manager noted that “Tartler is on a constant path to create new and better equipment and to refine their existing equipment. Udo Tartler, President of Tartler Machines So, RAMPF Group worked diligently with Udo Tartler, founder of Tartler machines, who began creating two-part meter mix equipment in the early 1980’s.
To make their product even more successful RAMPF knew having the right dispensing equipment was also a must. When machined, the cured paste creates very little dust and finishes to an extremely smooth surface that can be finished as needed. The paste applies to numerous substrates including acrylic, wire mesh, foam, or tooling board to name a few. RAMPF Group, a strong leader in the tooling board manufacturing business developed three versions of RAKU-TOOL® Close Contour Paste each is a 1 to 1 mix ratio that applies easily, even on vertical or overhead surfaces at thicknesses up to 40mm. So, when we had the opportunity to take on RAMPF GROUP’s new paste materials we wanted to be on board right away. Well, it’s been a lot of years since paste was introduced for composite tooling applications and it has traveled light years in terms of product and equipment quality.ĪIN Plastics + RAMPF GROUP + Tartler MachinesĪIN Plastics has been selling RAMPF GROUP Tooling board for many years, in fact, we are one of the largest distributors of tooling board in the country.
Many of you maybe familiar with tooling paste from years back.
