Superior offers emergency die repair.

This die was broken in half, 72 hours later we had it running at our customers plant.

Emergency Die Repair

No die repair job is beyond our scope. We've repaired tooling that had been completely broken in half. Tie bars were used to bolt the tool and shoe back together. 

With an in-house CAD department and extensive CNC machining capabilities, we can work together to make new steels from data or reassemble broken and damaged ones. What's more, we can scan them, create data, and kickstart machining. 

There's no mincing words. At Superior, we pride ourselves in putting Humpty Dumpty back together – whether it's a damaged die shoe or just a die section.

We're happy to perform custom setups to run parts for customers. Our team has taken draw tools that run on air and converted them to run on nitro and vice-a-versa. Parallels can be added to get internal scrap out of tooling, enabling them to run faster and creating common shut heights. We can double and triple set tools to get them all in one press.

At Superior, our goal is to do whatever it takes to get your production lines moving. Out of the dozen tool makers at our Fairwood facility, eight of them have journeyman cards.

Another example of our capabilities:

A customer sent to us a die that was broken in half over the July 4 holiday. They needed the die back to make parts Monday, July 6.

Our team worked over the weekend to get the job done. The die was machined and repaired, while posts were made to bolt the tooling back together. The die was shipped back to the customer Sunday, July 5. All work was performed in-house.
