Matched Metal Trim Best Practices
Building Better Tooling.
Material, Design, Machining, Inspection- Each step is completed competently and thoroughly. Each tool is built to the highest standards. Every step of the process is stringently controlled and monitored.
Design & Components
Concept, Layout and Estimating Tool Cost
Starting from customers needs and requirements we choose SolidWorks modeling software. All designs are customer preference and submitted for customer approval. Xact commonly customizes tool's requiring special specifications or components using lean manufacturing and proper materials. Heat treating materials is necessary for optimal performance.
Stock components are the best in the industry.
Build and Assembly
Exact Wire EDM Trim Surface capacity and capabilities surpass other wire EDM job shops in the industry. The finest tool builders Die-Tech craft and assemble quality components. Communication is a key component to a successfully matched metal tool build. Daily planning and scheduling sessions ensure projects timely completion on budget.
Quality
Temperature control and monitoring of all equipment involved. Temperature logs are kept to monitor the most critical projects. Proper practices are used to ensure accurate readings in specially controlled QA lab. This permits the most repeatable component sizes for the tight trim tolerances required on difficult to trim materials.
Test cutting before 1st article – improves quality, saves money and most importantly, minimizes leadtimes. Operators constantly check work-in-process criteria and then a final inspection of trim components is required before we send them to the toolmakers for assembly. The expert toolmakers at Die-Tech provide the finest craftsmanship and care in every matched metal tool assembly. Custom crafted specially built die sets are made in house providing “the foundation”, combining the best components and tool build practices.
Experienced inspectors determine that critical features have met or exceed project requirements. Proper inspection equipment monitors and controls every process: Mahr, Mitutoyo, OGP, Smart Profile, Brown and Sharpe. SYSPRO ERP system provides WIP tracking of materials, components and machining. Assembled Tool inspection and part trim test cutting are done on every tool.
Attention to detail delivers value and quality to tooling made in the USA.
