CUSTOM MANUFACTURING OF A SET OF TRANSFER TOOLING

A customer approached A-G Tool & Die, a division of Seilkop Industries, Inc. about building a set of transfer tooling. With our experience & working with customer specifications, our designers developed a concept & design for the set of tooling. Using our in house simulation software, we simulated the entire process. From the simulation we suggested necessary changes to the part to make it better & more producible.

The customer approved the designs and the job was released for production. Programmers & CNC operators produced the various details through our 2D, grinding, EDM wire and 3D cells. The cell concept was developed through our LEAN initiative. The completed details were then married up with purchased components on assembly carts. Die sets, parallels, & hot roll burnouts supplied by our sister division, Hamilton Precision LLC were machined in our large 3D cell. The dies were assembled, debugged, & married up with the mounting plates, bars, & fingers of transfer system. We were than able to simulate the running of the tool on our in house simulator & got the buy off from the customer.
