Tooling operations

A finished product is only as good as its initial tooling. That’s why all ACE tooling is done on site, in our in-house tool room.

Wire EDM machine

Driven to be the best in the metal stamping and fabrication business, we make it a necessity to stay ahead of the industry’s ever-changing technologies and innovations. We evaluate our tooling operations and technologies to optimize and improve efficiency for every job. ACE uses the latest tooling advancements to gain speed, accuracy and precision, including a full line of EDM and CNC milling machines.

Whether it’s progressive or compound dies, we take no part of the tooling process lightly. On-site tooling gives our designers everything they need at their fingertips to build and test dies as well as prototypes.

ACE — taking on all tooling needs with the latest technology available.

Wire EDM

EDM machine

Using the latest in FANUC wire EDM technology, ACE Stamping quickly produces tight-tolerance precision tooling components with cutting clearances down to ±.0001″.

Submersible wire EDM machining allows high-speed, accurate cutting of your tooling components. The FANUC high-speed automatic wire threader keeps the wire EDM running 24/7 to ensure EDM jobs are completed quickly and on time.

CNC machining

CNC machine

With emphasis on both speed and accuracy, the tool room at ACE Stamping & Machine uses high-quality 2- and 3-axis NC-controlled milling machines. Fast programming of the NC mills enables our toolmakers to quickly produce accurate die components and custom parts for our customers.

Our milling machines also let us excel at short-run production machining, in addition to performing secondary machining operations on parts produced in our production facilities.
