Miller Equipment Repairs provides expert repair, revision and maintenance for metal stamping tooling systems. We can repair tooling as needed - preventing lost-part production, non-value-added secondary operations and late-parts delivery. Any of these conditions waste valuable resources and raise part costs.
Our Toolmakers build and maintain innovative metal stamping dies that reduce costs, increase repeatability and deliver high-quality, defect-free parts.
Our Machinists utilize their extensive tooling knowledge and technical skills to operate CNC and Wire EDM equipment that delivers precision die components. The Tooling Department continuously works with Die Design and Metal Stamping to ensure metal stamping dies produce parts to print consistently and without problems.
Progressive dies are used in higher-volume production and are designed to operate at high rates of speed. Miller Equipment Repairs manufactures high-quality, reliable and cost-effective progressive dies for the automotive, appliance, office furniture, and aerospace industries. We have the expertise and technology to design, test and manufacture progressive tools that meet a broad range of manufacturing challenges.
We ensure that tooling is engineered to meet even the most-demanding stamping press specifications. We can manufacture progressive dies up to 84" wide and 144" long. We have expertise in developing innovative tooling solutions for an array of part materials: high-strength steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
Mishaps happen at what seems to be the worst times. Let our team help you get back up and running! From individual replacement components to complete tool rebuilds, we do what it takes to get the job done right. We routinely handle tools up to 240" in length and up to 60,000 lbs and can assist with producing bank builds during the repair process if needed.
Production schedules can be very demanding, and the neglect of much-needed tooling maintenance can cause major issues with part quality and tool performance. We have a well-trained staff that can assist in keeping your dies running correctly. We perform simple maintenance such as inspections and basic sharpening or complex overhauls of draw and cam stations. We always go above and beyond and offer solutions to improve unwanted tooling issues.
We support many stampers with custom tool components and spare die details. From trim punches and dies to complete draw cavities, we can do it all! We can make from provided CAD information or reverse engineer an item to produce the information necessary to manufacture. We have a dedicated team that manages the process from start to finish to ensure quality and on-time delivery every time.
We know planning and running a long-term bank of parts can be a headache from finding extra bins and storage to dealing with production capacity issues. We work with our customers to expedite minor and major tool updates and minimize the amount of time the tool will be out of service. We can service domestic and international tooling.
Miller Equipment Repairs provides innovative, cost-effective tooling solutions that meet a broad range of manufacturing demands. Whether you need a progressive die, transfer die, or specialty tooling, we create quality on-time tooling that performs.
Progressive dies are complex assemblies used in high-volume production that trim, punch, bend, form, and coin various types of materials at high rates of speed. Miller Equipment Repairs specializes in providing innovative die solutions up to 84" wide by 240" long. We process many parts from Aluminum, high-strength steel, dual phase, and other material types to exacting tolerances. We also specialize in incorporating many in-die value-added tooling solutions such as studs, nuts, threading, and bushings.
Transfer dies are similar to progressive dies with the exception that the part is transferred from each station with an internal/external mechanism or robotically. Miller Equipment Repairs has experience integrating a wide range of transfer options so you can be sure that startups are as flawless as possible.
Miller Equipment Repairs has experience building tooling to support a wide range of roll forming applications. We build flying or stationary pre-pierce, mid-pierce, and post-pierce tools as well as cut-off tools and weld box assemblies. We can also design and build press frames, stands, servo tables, or other platforms to support the tooling. We can have designed and built tools that can handle multiple part variations with manual and automatic punch gaging features and multiple pick-ups to make multiple hits on longer pieces.
When needed, Miller Equipment Repairs can engineer and build unique tool processing solutions outside of a traditional die that runs in a press. We can build turnkey solutions that operate with hydraulic, air, and stand-alone control systems to tackle those unique situations or integrate them into a stamping die when needed.
Let our team help you get the exact results you want. From one-off custom parts to waterjet cutting and fabrication services, Miller Equipment Repairs can help you find the solution to any problem.
While specializing in tooling and die components, we can also assist with one-off and custom machine build parts, replacement parts, short runs, repairs, one-of-a-kind items, and precision machining of close tolerance parts.
Miller Equipment Repairs provides many companies with turnkey spare die components that are heat-treated, wire cut, and ready to go to help keep their dies running. We can handle large or small machine packages of die components and die shoe assemblies for new builds.
From one-off to full production cutting, our dual head waterjet cutting machine can handle plates and bars up to 76" wide by 170" long. We can cut a wide range of materials such as Plastic, Aluminum, Fiberboard, Stone, Rubber, and Steel.
From one-off to full production cutting, our laser cutting machine can handle plates and bars up to 61" wide by 121" long. We can cut a steel sheet from .010" thick up to .50" thick. We offer quick turnaround and support many tool shops by providing laser webs and other parts.
Mold maintenance and mold repair require a different skill set than concept and design. Miller Equipment Repairs is one of the few mold making shops in the east coast with maintenance and repair specialists on staff. Whether you need to outsource your ongoing tool maintenance or make a one-time repair, our experts are here to help you.
Proper maintenance of an injection mold extends its lifespan and ensures optimal function. Molds should be serviced before they show wear and tear in order to prevent damage - shot counters are one simple way to track when your mold is due for maintenance. Routine maintenance is cost-efficient and prevents production delays.
Molds that aren't working properly may require replacing components or other repairs. Common mold repairs include fixing worn or damaged ejector pins, leaking water lines, and hot runner leakage.
We also perform mold revisions, which involves updating certain components in order to improve the mold's functionality. Our team has the capability to reverse engineer mold repairs without CAD files as a reference, if needed.
Our project management team will send status updates and coordinate with you during the entire maintenance or repair process.
