The manufacturing industry depends on a range of specialist tools and equipment for success, where these need to be assembled ahead of schedule to suit the project timeline. This is where tooling comes in, which refers to the process of manufacturing the essential equipment that is required for production.

The design and creation of prototypes is an essential part of the tooling process, where this allows for precision instruments to be trialled before they are manufactured in full. As such, prototype work is a cost effective way forward, as at this stage clients can make adjustments and modify components without wasting expensive materials.
Once the prototype stage is complete, we can then offer single operation tooling services to our clients. This method is utilised when annual volumes don’t require the increased costs incurred by a more complex progression tool. Our expert team will be able to advise you on which manufacturing method is right for your needs.
Additionally, we also offer a range of progression tooling services, where this is when automated processes are used to cut and bend a single metal sheet. The metal is fed into the press and then progressed through various cutting and shaping stages. We will recommend this tool if annual volumes are high enough to justify its usage.
Our team can provide transfer tooling options for more complex projects. This is when components are transferred from one stage to another in an automated press to achieve the desired effect. If you choose this option, then we can deliver complete tooling, transfer mechanisation, and PLC integration services.
We can provide an essential range of tooling services to help you to start your project in the right way, where we offer transfer tooling, prototype creation and single operation tooling.
Additionally, we can provide a comprehensive tooling repairs and maintenance service to keep your instruments in top condition.
At Cotmor Tool & Presswork, we also specialise in metal pressing services, where our innovative team will be on hand to guide you through the entire process.
