| Your choices are... | |||
| Extrusion Dies | Extrusion dies are used for producing continuous linear profiles that include complex two-dimensional profiles, such as tubes and pipes. | ||
| Die Forging | Die forging pounds or presses metal between two dies that contain a profile of the desired part. Parts from a few ounces to 60,000 lbs. can be made using this process. | ||
| Extrusion | Extrusion heats material, such as plastic, in a long barrel to create a continuous form. A rotating screw forces the heated material through the die opening, which is set to the desired shape. As the continuous form emerges from the die opening, the plastic cools and solidifies. The material can then be cut to the desired length. | ||
| Fourslide Tooling | Fourslide or multislide tooling incorporates horizontal die applications from multiple directions, either simultaneously or successively, in addition to the vertical motion of a punch press. | ||
| Jigs and Fixtures | Jigs and fixtures are used to hold a workpiece in the correct positional location relative to the tool during machining operations, or to another part during assembly or welding. | ||
| Progressive Dies | Progressive dies have two or more stations for performing multiple operations. | ||
| Rotary Die | A cylindrical die or roller commonly used for material cutting and embossing applications. | ||
| Sheet Metal Forming Dies | Sheet metal forming dies are used in the punching, stamping and/or forming of sheet metal. | ||
| Welding Fixtures | Welding fixtures maintain the positional location of two or more parts or assemblies during welding operations. | ||
| Custom / Specialty Tools | Custom or specialty tools are available. | ||
