NEW to YouTube: The RAMPF Corporate Sound

NEW to RAMPF: The Power of RAMPF - Corporate Sound of the RAMPF Group.
Listen in!

A comfy and stylish red couch stands in the foyer of RAMPF, specialist in the development of reactive resins made of polyurethane, epoxy and silicon and a leading manufacturer of materials for modelling and mould engineering. The red couch at RAMPF symbolises a module within the family-run company’s innovation management strategy. It is an integral part of the company’s “Innovation stars on the red couch” event series, which RAMPF organises for its employees several times a year – unusual for an SME. High-profile figures from the worlds of culture, business, sport and society who have shown courage and been successful in their chosen career are invited to take their place on the red couch. Britta Heidemann, Olympic gold medallist in épée fencing, was one such star from the sporting world. The very first innovation star to sit on the red couch was sound designer Peter Philippe Weiss, who received the red dot design award in 2009 for his outstanding design work. The sound designer’s visit kick-started the development of a musical composition that embodies the RAMPF group. The aim was to discover “the sound of RAMPF” and show that chemistry can make music. The basis for the RAMPF sound was created by the employees. You can listen to the end result on the company’s website and on YouTube.

RAMPF uses the latest robot technology

"Rudi 2090" robot creates prototypes

The latest robot technology from KUKA is now being used for near-series prototyping in application engineering at RAMPF Giessharze, one of the leading manufacturers of two-component systems for sealing, casting, bonding and designing. Integrating the robot into RAMPF Dosiertechnik mixing and dispensing systems makes two-component systems even more dynamic, as the robot technology enables short cycle times and achieves pose repeatability of +/- 0.06 mm. The robot, dubbed "Rudi 2090" by RAMPF Giessharze, is from the Quantec robot series and features a control system that integrates not only motion, sequence and process control but also complete safety control. Adding the robot technology to its operations enables RAMPF Giessharze to respond even more effectively to customers' specific needs. Application engineering at RAMPF Dosiertechnik already uses a robot.

Two million boards produced by RAMPF Tooling

During October 2011 the two millionth board was produced at RAMPF Tooling. This is a further milestone in the success story of the RAMPF Group which meanwhile comprises five independent companies with a consolidated turnover of Euro 104.4 Mio and three overseas subsidiaries. The success story started with the market break-through of polyurethane boards and the set up of the first production line nearly 30 years ago. In 2006 RAMPF Tooling decided to enter the market directly and succeeded in becoming the largest board producer world-wide.

RAMPF Tooling: Basic training course for the plastics processing industry

From reactive resin to reactive molding material

Liquid systems and board materials for modeling and mold making were the focus of the basic training course from RAMPF Tooling held at the RAMPF innovation centre in Grafenberg on 14 and 15 September 2011. The world’s largest producer of board materials offered companies in the plastics processing industry the opportunity to take an in-depth theoretical and practical look at basic chemical and technical aspects of processing polyurethane and epoxy systems as well as standard build-up processes for models and mold making

RAMPF Giessharze to present first BIO electro casting system at Productronica 2011

Visitors to Productronica, the world leading trade fair for innovative electronics production, will be able to see two highlights from RAMPF live and in action at Stand 260 in Hall A3. With the development of a two-component BIO electro casting system made of polyurethane, RAMPF Giessharze is responding to the market's growing awareness of ecological issues. RAKU-PUR® 21-2499 casting material has been developed based on renewable raw materials. Thanks to the COD (Curing On Demand) equipment integrated into the DC-CNC low-pressure system from RAMPF Dosiertechnik, the material cures after just three minutes. The BIO system is suitable for casting electrical and electronic components.
