Ultratools Precision Mouldmaking

Ultratools continuous investment programme in manufacturing technology has recognised us as a leading UK mould tool manufacturer.

High volume, high cavitation tooling requires a high level of quality control to maintain component consistency and tooling interchangeability.

Machine accuracy is maintained by an ISO9000 controlled calibration programme.

Plate Manufacture

Stainless mould steel bolster plate manufactured on a horizontal machining centre

Die Manufacture

Water channels and locations machined on a 4-axis center, prior to hardening

EDM Sink

Core dies for a multi-cavity medical mould are palletized prior to the EDM operation

Cylindrical Grinding

The location taper on a cavity is ground to ensure concentricity and interchangeability

Programming

Die drawings are converted into cutter paths and downloaded direct to the CNC machines.

Laser Marking

Traceability is essential for medical and pharmaceutical moulds. A core die from a medical mould is laser engraved with a unique reference
