High Precision Machine Bed

Made From Mineral Casting for Maximum Performance

A machine bed made from EPUMENT mineral casting delivers outstanding precision, exceptional vibration damping, and a highly sustainable production process. RAMPF engineers custom machine frames and integrated system solutions that enhance process reliability and significantly boost the performance of modern machine tools.

High‑Performance Material for Ultimate Accuracy

EPUMENT mineral casting, UHPC, and hard stone combine superior damping, stable thermal behavior, and flexible shaping options. The result: machine beds and machine frames that absorb forces with precision, reduce vibration, and ensure long‑lasting component performance—ideal for every high‑precision mineral casting machine bed requirement.

Your Key Benefits

Exceptional vibration damping for stable, chatter free machining
Low thermal conductivity for consistent dimensional accuracy
High isotropy and material homogeneity for maximum stiffness
Flexible, chip free molding of complex geometries
Excellent resistance to chemicals and corrosion
Significantly lower energy consumption compared to cast iron and steel

Intelligent Machine Structures with Built‑In Expertise

Sensors and actuators can be integrated directly into the mineral casting machine frame. These smart structures measure temperatures, reduce disruptive heat, and actively enhance process quality—ideal for high‑precision applications in mechanical engineering, electronics, laser technology, and advanced machine tool manufacturing.

Sustainable Machine Beds – Energy‑Efficient and Resource‑Saving

EPUMENT mineral casting is cold‑cast. This reduces primary energy consumption by up to 4.5 times, eliminates unnecessary machining steps, and enables environmentally responsible recycling. More than 90% of the material consists of natural minerals. Crushed components can be reused as aggregate in road and industrial construction.

Mineral Casting (EPUMENT®)

EPUMENT® mineral casting is a high tech material that perfectly fulfills the essential functions of a machine frame—precise positioning of machine elements and optimal absorption of forces and moments under static, dynamic, thermal, and acoustic conditions.

Ultra High Performance Concrete (EPUDUR)

EPUDUR is an Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) based on next generation premium cement. Its Microdur technology has been further enhanced using nanostructured synthetic silicas.

Hard Stone (EPUSTONE)

Industrially mined hard stones (commonly known as granite) have been used for decades in precision applications: surface plates, straightedges, angle standards, and frames for measurement and high precision production machines. These isotropic, homogeneous materials follow Hooke’s law and can be accurately analyzed using linear elastic FEM calculations.

Hybrid Structures (EPUFILL)

For over 40 years, cavities in steel or cast iron machine beds and frames have been filled with epoxy bound mineral casting. What began as a retrofit to improve dynamic behavior has evolved into a fully established construction method. The frame assembly is designed as a hybrid structure from the start.

Mineral Casting for In House Production (EPUSELF)

With EPUSELF, you produce high quality polymer bound mineral casting quickly and reliably. The pre measured 25 kg batches are easy to process using the supplied container —perfect for research institutes, machine builders, makers, artists, and hobbyists.
