WHAT IS TOOL AND DIE ENGINEERING

Engineering is a universal concept that can be applied to any field of production. Engineering basically comprises of scheming with specifics to create tangible maneuvers from paper plans to facilitate a machinery or to be employed individually as a standalone product in manufacturing and production. Tool and die engineering are the field of planning and producing tools such as press tool manufacturers dies, cutting tools, molds and so on that create specific products on raw materials like sheet metal parts. The modified sheet metal parts are sequestered for use in function of high-end machinery components.

Types of tools/dies:

  1. Dies:

The dies hold a simple construction with sheet metal parts sandwiched between upper and lower jaw of the tool. Upon pressure the die cuts or forges into the sheet imprinting or re-shaping according to its shape or design. Dies are classified as compound or combination dies where more than one operation such as cutting, drawing or flexing. The products manufactured from die casting hold place in major scale industries like automobiles, energy power plant to cellular phone covers.

  1. Drilling tools:

The drilling tools are employed to form holes with less circumference when compared to dies which can puncture into sheet metal parts with bigger holes with pressure. The pressure applied in drilling tools is twice that can be obtained cutting dies, which serve its purpose especially in communication and electronics devices. Industries like former, orifices are expected to smaller to used as better appendages for assembling.

  1. Turning tools:

Turning tools proves its dexterity in scrapping, removal or fine tuning of metal parts. The finely tuned sheet metal tools manufacturers are then used in petrochemical industries and power plants. Turning tools are essential to create specific type of dies.
