Today's competitive global economy requires manufacturers to do more with less. Which is why many of our tooling customers ask us to modify their tools so they can perform multiple functions, thus saving cycling time and enhancing efficiency.
Typical modifications Integrity has done, following customers' print specifications:
- We can modify a customer's off-the-shelf drill so the same tool bits can perform several operations.
- We can modify step drills so that a single drill can bore holes in two different diameters. That would enable one tool to drill both countersink and counterbore holes, for instance, without changing bits.
- We can modify end mills to corner radius tools, metric balls or round-over tools.
Building up an inventory of specialized tooling can be expensive - and unnecessary, if the tooling professionals at Integrity can modify tools to perform multiple operations.
People are multitasking today; why shouldn't their tools?
