Unitized Tooling

What is unitized tooling and why is it a great choice to use with Multicyl?

Unitized tooling:

A die having its upper and lower members incorporated into a self-contained unit arranged to maintain the die members in alignment. Typically these are c-frame hole punching units such as the one shown here, but other styles of tooling for other applications are available as well.

At Multicyl we believe that manufacturing should be simple and cost effective. For hole punching, notching, tube piercing and more, the marriage of Multicyl with unitized tooling into a complete punching solution is often an excellent way to realize this philosophy on the shop floor.

How so?

• low capital cost saves money up front
• dedicated stations free up more expensive capital equipment
• small batch production runs eliminate inventory and work in progress
• quick and easy production
• fast cycle times
• runs just on air
• low maintenance and easily obtainable replacement parts
• uses off the shelf products
• modular system which is easy to add to in the future
• compatible with other types of tooling in a work cell environment
• safe operating environment, often without additional safety features
