Metal Cutting Tools | Cutting Tools Manufacturer – Sigma Toolings

Retooling and Maintenance

Retool existing machines to run new parts with confidence and stable capability. Sigma retools your current assets to handle new geometries or volumes, then builds a maintenance discipline so tooling and fixtures stay within acceptance criteria and don’t drift over time.

Why Sigma

  • Retooling engineered for capability + takt, not “make it run”
  • Strong fitment study: machine envelope, rigidity, coolant, gauging
  • Tool + fixture upgrades that remove drift, chatter, and burr issues
  • Maintenance discipline that prevents repeat breakdowns
  • Fast ramp support with on-floor stabilisation
  • Acceptance criteria and buyoff packs that teams can rely on
  • Spares and PM planning tied to criticality and uptime
  • Proven approach on retooling for engine/transmission families

Where Sigma Fits In

Need New Parts on Machines You Already Own?

Sigma retools the existing setup to run the new component confidently—refreshing tooling, fixtures, and workflow so you launch on time with documented stability.

Recurring Issues from Worn Fixtures/Tools?

Sigma restores tooling and fixtures back to acceptance criteria, upgrades weak points, and builds preventive routines so drift doesn’t return.

Relaunch Stable Output on Existing Assets

Sigma helps you avoid the cost and delay of new equipment by making current machines production-ready for new requirements. The result: faster ramp-up, stable capability, fewer breakdowns, and a clear path from first trial to serial output.

Fitment Study (Machine vs Part Reality)

Scope: Capability gap, reach/clearance, rigidity, coolant and gauging alignment.

Deliverables: fitment report, feasibility notes, risk register.

Process Refresh & Workflow Re-shape

Scope: Operation sequence, machine split, takt alignment, setup strategy.

Deliverables: revised process plan, cycle-time study, acceptance criteria.

Tooling Upgrade / Re-engineering

Scope: New tools, combination concepts, step reduction, chip control.

Deliverables: updated tool list, tool specs, parameter windows.

Fixture Reconditioning & Robustness Upgrades

Scope: Restore datums, clamps, locators; improve repeatability and ergonomics.

Deliverables: fixture restoration buyoff, drawings/updates, clamping principles.

Preventive Maintenance & Spares Planning

Scope: PM frequency, inspection points, min-max spares, regrind loop.

Deliverables: PM checklist, spare list, tool/fixture health log format.

Re-validation & Ramp Support

Scope: Break-in, capability proving, stabilisation actions on floor.

Deliverables: capability study, handover notes, ramp stabilisation plan.
