Metal Cutting Tools | Cutting Tools Manufacturer – Sigma Toolings

On the Floor Technical Support

Engineering on the line to stabilise output, capability and takt in real time. Sigma specialists work on the shopfloor to diagnose issues fast, tune the process safely, and lock in stable methods so performance holds across shifts, operators and batches.

Why Sigma

  • Shopfloor-first problem solving with fast response
  • Specialists who’ve stabilised complex engine/transmission processes
  • Parameter tuning within safe windows, not risky experimentation
  • Tool-life stabilisation with practical countermeasures
  • Improves output without disrupting takt
  • Clear issue logs, closures, and repeat-prevention actions
  • Operator/setter method discipline built into the fix
  • Weekly KPIs that show impact: tool life, scrap, throughput, downtime

Where Sigma Fits In

Launch Phase Needs Extra Engineering Bandwidth?

Sigma provides on-floor support to convert trials into stable serial quickly—with tuning, standard work, and handover that sticks.

Live Production Has Frequent Quality/Tooling Firefights?

Sigma steps in to diagnose root cause, stabilise parameters, improve tool life, and reduce scrap—without interrupting production flow.

Stabilise the Line While It Keeps Running

Sigma works inside your live production reality: fix issues fast, lock stable settings, and embed discipline so the same problem doesn’t repeat. The impact shows up as cleaner parts, fewer surprises, and throughput that holds shift after shift.

Live Diagnosis & Root Cause

Scope: Drift, chatter, burrs, finish variation, breakages, sudden scrap.

Deliverables: issue log, root-cause notes, containment actions.

Parameter Tuning Within Safe Windows

Scope: Feed/speed/DOC tuning without compromising quality or tool life.

Deliverables: revised parameter windows, do/don’t rules, stability checklist.

Tool Life Improvement Actions

Scope: Insert strategy, edge prep, coolant direction/pressure, wear control.

Deliverables: tool-life uplift plan, breakage countermeasures, baseline vs new.

Setup, Offsets & Method Discipline

Scope: Setting, offsets, touch-off, changeover sequence, mistake-proofing.

Deliverables: setup SOP updates, quick-check steps, training inputs.

Quality Gate Alignment (Gauging & Checks)

Scope: Critical dimensions, measurement method, sampling logic.

Deliverables: check plan, gauge alignment notes, acceptance criteria reminders.

Weekly Stabilisation KPIs

Scope: Track what matters: tool life, scrap, rework, downtime, throughput.

Deliverables: weekly KPI sheet, actions tracker, sustain plan.
