Precision Tooling, Expert Die Casting, and Metalworks for Custom Solutions

Our Capabilities

Our Tool and Die Process

We produce all of our tools, dies, gauges and fixtures to order, based on your part print specifications. Design work is done using Solidworks 3D CAD and we also utilize Logopress, a software add-on, specifically geared to stamped products. Reverse engineering when required, is done with various precision measuring tools, including an optical comparator and a state of the art Hexagon CMM. To facilitate the fabrication of your metal part, we start by developing the most efficient process available. After discussing the options with you, the tools are designed to produce the parts in the most efficient manner agreed upon. Production volume, raw material, complexity, finish requirements & datum structure are all contributing factors. Dies can be single hit operations, multiple hit hand transfers, progressive dies where multiple operations are performed simultaneously, or even complex mechanical transfer dies with integral 2 or 3 axis transfer systems. In most cases, the goal is to produce a finished product, start to finish, on one tool base. With our equipment and technical expertise, we have the capabilities to provide you the tooling to produce your finished part with efficiency and still maintain the highest accuracy & repeatability possible.

Durability and robust designs

No one makes a profit off of downtime. Whether we are designing a new die, refurbing an existing tool or making a replacement component for that goes into an existing process, we keep tool longevity in mind. Bulletproof is somewhat cliché, but we strive to design up front or make improvements, to make tools as indestructible as possible.

Additional Stamping Die Services

n addition to designing and building stamping dies from scratch, we also can provide services for engineering changes on existing tools, repairs and perform maintenance on dies already in service. Individual die sections or portions of dies can be reproduced to bring your older tooling back into specification, or perhaps improve efficiencies. All die refurbs are treated on a case by case basis and no job is typically too big or too complex.

Gages & Fixtures

As part of our goal to be a full service facility, we also welcome the opportunity to provide gaging and fixtures for production parts. Discuss your quality concerns with us & we can make recommendations for typical gages which will keep your production verified to be within spec. We can make simple plug gages to check hole diameters, or complex functional gages capable of passing most certification criteria. We also can design and produce fixtures to perform secondary machining operations or locate parts for secondary assembly operations. Our goal is to assist you in developing the entire manufacturing process and give you the best tooling we can, to make that process as efficient and accurate as possible.
