The Olomouc site, founded in 1990, has specialized in the development and production of hot forming tools from the very beginning. This focus has enabled weba to establish itself as a leading competence center in this field. In order to continue to meet the high demands of the automotive industry in the future and to further increase its own quality standards, weba Olomouc has made significant investments in recent months
- New measuring machine: this enables even more precise and efficient measurement of large components and tools, increasing production accuracy and quality.
- Thermal camera: The fast and convenient determination of the temperature of components and tools optimizes process control and contributes to greater process reliability.
- Trimill 5-axis machining center: The new machining center improves the efficiency of production and ensures weba's competitiveness on a global level.
- 1,200 t hydraulic press: This powerful press makes it possible to meet the increasing demands of customers in the hot forming sector and to manufacture more complex components efficiently.
- Extended reheating furnace: The extension of the reheating furnace means that large-format hot-formed parts can now also be processed efficiently.
- Paperless production: The introduction of drawing-free production optimizes the production process, reduces sources of error and protects the environment.
But investing in production equipment alone is not enough. In order to maintain its leading position in hot forming, weba relies on the continuous development of new technologies and methods. These should ensure the reliable and high-quality forming of components and at the same time increase the service life of the hot forming tools. The research and development department at weba Olomouc is intensively dedicated to the optimization of materials and processes. Materials with improved thermal conductivity are tested in order to reduce cycle times and extend the service life of the tools. At the same time, the cooling systems of the active parts are constantly being improved through continuous water flow measurements.
These comprehensive measures not only help to secure weba's technological leadership, but also offer substantial benefits for customers. Precise measurement and temperature control ensure the consistently high quality of the components produced. Efficient machining centers and hydraulic presses enable cost-effective production, while the continuous development of materials and cooling technologies allows weba to flexibly meet even the most demanding customer requirements. In addition, paperless production contributes to more sustainable production, which is becoming increasingly important in the modern automotive industry.
With these investments and developments, weba Olomouc is strengthening its pioneering role in press hardening and offering its customers customized and future-oriented solutions for the challenges of the automotive industry.
