Regrind specialists
Regrinding tools is not just a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment; it is a strategic approach that enhances tool longevity and efficiency. Most tools, including flat and cylindrical dies, can undergo multiple regrinds, which not only extends their life but also adapts them for different tasks. The ability to regrind tools to the same specifications or alter them to a new pitch provides significant flexibility, reducing the risk of obsolescence and allowing for more dynamic use of each tool.
The turnaround times for regrinding are considerably shorter compared to the time it takes to manufacture new tools. This efficiency in turnaround times means less downtime for machinery and faster response to production needs, which can be crucial in high-demand manufacturing environments.
Implementing a structured regrind program brings additional operational benefits. It simplifies inventory management by reducing the variety of spare tools needed on hand, as tools can be adapted rather than replaced. This program also aids in more accurate tool forecasting and budgeting, as it provides a predictable schedule for tool maintenance and replacement costs, allowing for better financial planning.
For flat dies, a controlled regrind program is particularly beneficial. Through such a program, precision-ground packing pieces can be supplied to maintain the die height consistently. This ensures that despite multiple regrindings, the tool performs reliably and maintains its required specifications, ensuring consistent quality in production.
