Following investment in new machine tools and tooling and the wider adoption of advanced hard turning and milling technology, punch press tooling can now be delivered more speedily.

Following investment in new machine tools and tooling and the wider adoption of advanced hard turning and milling technology, Wilson Tool International has re-organised its fast delivery scheduling capability to fast track manufacture and delivery of special tooling Customers of the Swindon based company have already benefited considerably from its investment in the design consultancy tool development and manufacture of problem solving special tooling

Now, following changes in manufacturing methods, such as in the production of punch press cluster tooling inserts, the company is now machining tooling in the hardened condition and holding tolerances to around three microns, which used to require additional finish grinding processes.

Says European Sales Manager Tony Breakell: "We can now deliver tools such as round embosses within 24 hours of design approval, 2D special shapes and countersink tools in two days and extrusion tools in three days.

More complex cluster tools, lance and form tools, EKOs and special shaped emboss tools leave our factory in just five days." Within the Wilson Tool price, delivery by courier is automatically included and within the Swindon plant, one of the UK's leading courier services has its own despatch area with tool tracking to ensure information is readily available to the customer at any time during the delivery period.
