Transfer Your Tooling to Kirsh to Get a Competitive Edge

Quality is delivered with Kirsh as your castings provider

The decision to consolidate and transfer tooling to a new foundry encompasses much more. While that decision alone is complicated — locating all the tooling, cataloging all parts, and knowing which are current — that is just the start of the process. Can the same foundry house your tooling, produce quality castings, and deliver them on time?

Let’s start at the beginning: consolidating and transferring tooling.

Custom-designed Tooling Programs

The Kirsh team has various tools to design a tooling program effective for each customer’s needs. Because consolidating tooling from multiple sources can be a challenge, Kirsh engineers can model tooling from existing tooling, a sample product, drawings, or CAD files.

Kirsh can even suggest innovative solutions that are more cost-effective and more efficient than the original tooling. Using 3D flow analysis and solidification simulation, Kirsh engineers test performance of the new tooling prior to production.

Design to Production Under One Roof

When ready, Kirsh produces your parts in house in the quantity needed to meet your quality expectations. Quality is monitored at every step of the production process. Kirsh uses the Odyssey system by B&L to monitor thousands of datapoints, so that decision to transfer tooling doesn’t turn into a nightmare when it comes to delivery time.

While off-shore manufacturers may offer drastically low prices, quality standards also tend to be lower. Current global shipping vulnerabilities further complicate their ability to deliver — and to rectify poor quality — on time. Ultimately, customers end up paying more and suffering delivery delays.

Kirsh catalogs and stores tooling in our controlled warehouse when it is not in use. Because we have a complete tooling department on site, should your specifications change, we can easily work with you to make a change to your tooling.
