Modulam System Reduces Press-Tooling Costs
Midland Tool and Design said the lower costs ensure less time is spend in manufacturing, thereby cutting lead times, and the accuracy of the system is said to eliminate the need to re-qualify parts at the production stage - all prototypes produced are to the customer's final specification. The Modulam system is said to be ideal for small- and medium-volume projects, and is particularly suited to prototyped stamped laminations because it eliminates the need for photo or laser etching.
Darren Booton, managing director of Midland Tool and Design, said: 'Modulam combines a tooling holder, which can be used in either our Bruderer 50tonf, 60tonf or Bliss 200tonf presses, with bespoke tooling elements designed and manufactured in-house. 'These elements can be made from steel or carbide, depending on the client's requirements,' he added.
