Die and Press Tool Modifications
Modifications to existing dies and press tools to adapt them to changes in part, process or production, with the support of partner engineering teams.

- Trials after the modification
Adapting an existing die
A die in production may need changes for many reasons: a modification to the part design, a change of material, a process improvement or adaptation to another press. Modifying the existing tool is usually a faster and cheaper alternative to building a new one.
We coordinate die and press tool modifications with partner engineering teams, able to study and modify any project, and with companies that have the machinery needed to carry out the changes.
Trials after the modification
After each modification, the die is tested on the press and adjusted until the parts meet the specifications again, just as in the tryout of a new die. A coordinator from our team follows the whole process through to the customer’s validation.
Scope
What the service includes
-
Study of the modification
Analysis of the change required and its effect on the die and on the stamping process.
-
Engineering
Partner engineering teams to redesign any part of the project.
-
Execution
Machining and assembly of the changes at partner companies with die-making machinery.
-
Trials and adjustment
Press trials of the modified die and adjustments until the part is validated.
Method
How we coordinate each project
Rommat Try Out coordinates the whole process and partner companies carry out the specific industrial processes. The customer always deals with a coordinator.
-
Study of the job
We analyse the part, the die and the customer’s requirements to define the scope of the work.
-
Assigned coordinator
A coordinator takes charge of the project and is the customer’s point of contact at every stage.
-
Allocation among partners
Each industrial process is assigned to the partner company with the right resources.
-
Continuous follow-up
We follow every stage, control lead times and resolve any issues that arise.
-
Validation and buy-off
The work ends when the customer validates and accepts the die.
