Toolmaking
The process of toolmaking typically begins with the design phase, where toolmakers analyze the desired component or product specifications. They consider factors such as tolerances, material properties, and production volumes to create a detailed plan for the tool's construction. The next step involves material selection, where toolmakers choose the most suitable materials, such as steel, carbide or aluminium, based on factors like hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity.
Toolmakers then employ various machining techniques, including milling, turning, grinding, and EDM (electrical discharge machining), to shape the tool components. Precision and attention to detail are paramount, as even the smallest deviations can impact the final product's quality. The assembled tool undergoes rigorous testing and fine-tuning, ensuring it performs optimally and meets the desired specifications.
Our priority is to provide our customers with a high quality tool which will be consistently reliable throughout its life.
