PROTOTYPING
Prototype parts and assemblies for initial trials and proof of concept are often required in the initial stages of a project to ensure that the planned work will be successful. Our team at Cotmor Tool and Presswork can provide vast experience and cost-effective solutions in this area.
Using in-house finite element analysis software, we can provide feedback and advice on suitability for the manufacture of concept parts at an early stage before any material cutting occurs. This eradicates the need for costly experimentation, making sure every goes to plan. We often work closely with customers to modify components to improve feasibility or process cost in production.
SINGLE OPERATION TOOLING
Single operation tooling is ideal when production volumes are too low to justify the cost of a more complex progression tool. This process is also commonly used for highly complex forming operations.
If higher volumes are needed, multiple single operation tools can be combined with automated transfer systems to boost efficiency. At Cotmor Tool and Presswork, we assess your part’s complexity and production needs during the quoting stage and recommend the best tooling solution for you.
PROGRESSION TOOLING
Progression tooling is used when production volumes are high enough to justify the added complexity and cost. This method offers an efficient and cost-effective way to produce complex, high-volume parts.
At Cotmor Tool and Presswork, our tool makers will assess your part’s complexity and production needs during the quoting stage. From here, they will be able to recommend the best tooling solution for you.
TRANSFER TOOLING
Transfer tooling is used when automating part transfer is necessary due to high production volumes, part size, or design complexity. If progression tooling isn't suitable, transfer tooling provides an effective alternative.
This method can involve multiple single operation tools with parts moved between presses or a single tool with a built-in transfer mechanism for use in one press. Our team of experts at Cotmor Tool and Presswork will assess your part’s complexity and production, and then advise on whether the transfer tooling method is suited to your part.
