In 1964, Frank McAlpin founded McAlpin Industries as a tool and die company. Today, all tooling continues to be designed and built in-house, from simple compound dies, to complex progressive dies, robotic transfer systems, and even welding, inspection, and failsafe assembly fixtures.
Early involvement with product design enables us to define the appropriate type of tooling for any product. Factors we consider include annual volume, lead-time, product life cycle, part complexity, and tooling budget. By analyzing customer requirements, our engineering and design staff offers an optimal tooling option. Customers are then able to view and understand the trade-offs between tooling options, and make an educated tooling decision.
The latest in Wire EDM equipment is available for in-house support as well as for contract tooling. As we move ahead with the application of solid modeling design software, we will continue to improve our state-of-the-art approach to tool design. |
