We manufacture both traditional tooling and tooling for high-throughput machines. High-throughput machines require tooling that is manufactured to tolerances more stringent than interchangeable tooling.
We adhere to the Tableting Specification Manual (TSM) guidelines regarding the design and manufacture of tablet tooling, which involve maintaining very tight tolerances.
We maintain a large inventory of steels and semi-finished stock for rapid delivery. If you frequently use tooling that is outside of our standard stock, however, please make us aware of your usage and we will be happy to stock additional sets on site. These items will be made available at no additional charge
