Maintenance of Dies and Punches

Why is it required?
To improve the lifespan of toolings.

How are they Maintained? Fitting instructions usually as per the manual given. Warm soap water and a soft brush are suitable for thorough cleaning Not to be touched by bare fingers Thoroughly coated with an acid-free oil in order to prevent corrosion.

Contd..
Toolings should be regularly checked. Polishing
By hand Drag Finishing machine

Storage cabinets for tooling


Clashing Dusting Humidity

New Developments
Multi-tip punches Development in manufacturing different shapes of tablets
