Custom Cutting Tools for Contract Machining
Contract manufacturers and CNC job shops frequently machine different components, materials and production quantities for different customers.
When a new job requires a non-standard profile, special bore, difficult material or reduced cycle time, standard catalog tooling may not provide the most efficient solution.
Aoshiji® Custom Tool supports contract machining companies with drawing-specific custom cutting tools developed around the actual component and machining process.
Support for Changing Production Requirements
Typical projects include:
• Prototype and first-run components
• Small and medium production batches
• Repeat production jobs
• Legacy tool replacement
• Non-standard bores and profiles
• Multiple features combined into one tool
• Tool-life improvement projects
• Standard-tool replacement for special applications
From Drawing to Custom Tool
You can send us a component drawing, existing tool drawing, sample tool dimensions or a description of the current machining problem.
Our engineering review considers the workpiece material, feature geometry, tolerance, surface finish, machine interface, cutting conditions and production quantity before developing the tool concept.
Relevant Cutting Tools
Aoshiji can support contract machining projects with PCD, CBN, carbide, carbide-tipped and other custom CNC cutting tool solutions depending on the application.
