MTD’s MODULAM SYSTEM TO REVOLUTIONISE PRECISION ENGINEERING SECTOR

Precision engineering specialists Midland Tool and Design have launched a new system which will revolutionise the industry’s approach to tooling.

The company’s Modulam system, available since December, will reduce conventional tooling costs by up to 50%. Bosses believe Modulam’s potential is so great the brand name will soon become eponymous with this approach to tooling.

The lower costs ensure less time is spent in manufacturing, thereby cutting lead times, and the accuracy of the system eliminates the need to re-qualify parts at the production stage – all prototypes produced are to the customer’s final specification.

Managing Director Darren Booton said: “Modulam will make a massive difference to costs and lead times, without any impact on product quality – regardless of the quantities manufactured.

“It combines a unique tooling holder, which can be used in either our Bruderer 50 tonne, 60 tonne or Bliss 200 tonne presses, with bespoke tooling elements designed and manufactured in-house.

“These elements can be made from steel or carbide, depending on the client’s requirements.”

The Tipton-based company, which celebrated its 40thbirthday in October, specialises in designing and manufacturing components for mechanical and electrical engineering firms.

MTD work in a wide range of sectors including aerospace, motorsports and medical. For further information please call or submit your enquiry through the website Contact page.
