Advance Tooling Group Expands Capabilities

The Advanced Tooling Group (ATG) has newly expanded perishable tooling services with the addition of the ANCA TX-7 CNC Grinding System. This impressive production grinder adds a new dimension to the already impressive Hydromat machine shop capabilities. Grind Shop Supervisor and 20 year Hydromat veteran Dennis Jaycox loves this new machine, “We looked at all the machines out there, and I think the ANCA is the best machine, bar none.” The ease of programming and set-up coupled with the speed the ANCA allows Jaycox and the ATG team to be competitive with other tooling manufacturers whether it’s an order for one tool, 50 tools, or more.

When the calculations are done, including the downtime, higher quality tools pay off with more parts between sharpenings. “Our tools have been quite successful,” notes Steve Thomas, Senior Manufacturing Engineer. “We use a special long lasting carbide. As an example, not too long ago a Hydromat machine user came to us with a problem. The original tools we made for him when we built the machine lasted 90,000 parts, but the best he could get from his other tool vendors was 20,000 parts,” Thomas continues, “He asked us to create those tools again. Now we get all of his business.”

The Hydromat Advanced Tooling Group is dedicated to supplying the highest quality tooling at competitive prices. It’s knowledge and skill that gives them the edge, “Who would know best how to make tools for a Hydromat machine? Hydromat Incorporated,” remarked Thomas, answering his own rhetorical question, “especially with the decades of experience of we have on our staff, and we live and breathe this stuff...day in and day out.” he concluded.
