Tooling

CWM uses a rigid set of die casting tooling standards for all tools. With a disciplined tooling manufacturing process, you can be assured of consistent manufacturing rates, predictable tool life, and efficient production runs. This translates into meeting your quality, delivery, and budgetary goals. 

The initial investment in a die cast tool is significant compared to other project costs. CWM offers a way to extend the life of the die cast tooling by treating the tool’s surface with a duplex coating process, which is particularly useful for high-volume applications. This extra layer of protection provides the following benefits:

• High layer hardness – protects the die against abrasive wear and heat-checks
• Excellent thermal and chemical stability – reduces soldering in the die casting process
• Low coefficient of friction – improves part ejection from the die and reduces the tool wear

In recent years, CWM has reduced its die cast tooling costs by leveraging both offshore and domestic partners. Each partner delivers high-quality die cast tooling that utilizes efficient tool construction equipment and processes. With every new project, we look for ways to provide you with the best return on investment.
