Largest tool in WHS History!

The Largest moulding tool ever produced for WHS arrived onsite on Friday 5th Feb. Manufactured by one of our Toolmaking partners, Henda, who are based in Shenzhen China the tool, weighs in at over 30 tonne and is designed to mould the new model Range Rover Rear Side Cap components.

The JLR component design called for no visible split lines on the component “A” surfaces as it is a finished painted part. The tool design reflects this with several complex internal slide movements – A very impressive piece of engineering.

Due to its size and weight the tool had to be delivered in two halves! The tool will mould and produce parts in site 2.
