THE VALUE FOR YOU

Buying on Tool Price Can Hide the Real Cost.

The lowest insert price doesn't always mean the lowest component cost. Our Project Team looks at tool life, cycle time, stability, scrap risk, machine utilisation and repeatability.

Conventional Approach

✗ Focus on tool price

✗ Trial-and-error improvements

✗ Isolated optimisations

Vs.

Tungaloy-NTK Approach

✓ Focus on cost per component

✓ Tooling, cutting data, CAM strategy and process validation

✓ Cycle-time comparisons, tool-life checks and measurable productivity gains

From Drawing to Measurable Improvement

A five-step journey, built around your component from day one.

1

Understand your component and production challenges

2

Analyse machine, material, and process conditions

3

Develop optimised tooling and machining strategy

4

Validate through simulation and testing

5

Implement and measure improvements
