Stainless Steel Tooling

Precision is key in die making, and the services of CLL Engineering are often called upon to fabricate tooling with extremely close tolerances for specialty applications. We fabricated the progressive die tooling shown here for a customer in the heavy duty truck industry for use in the manufacture of an embossed stainless steel gasket.

Working with the customer specifications, we designed and prototyped the male and female stamps to mark the material surfaces while maintaining the proper clearances to produce thin parts at high speeds. Machined from stainless steel to precision ± 0.001" tolerances, this 5 station progressive die features overall dimensions of 20" in length and 32" in width. Full dimensional inspection and analysis ensured accuracy and long term reliability of the tooling.

In use on the factory floor, the expert craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its manufacture is proving itself by delivering accurate and repeatable production of the tight tolerance gaskets according to the customers exact specifications.
