Die spotting in house cut costs and mould production lead time.

Die spotting press intruduction helped Dukheung Engineering to shorten total mould manufacturing lead-time - to 30 days for simpler tools and 60 to 65 days on larger, more complex tools weighing up to 15 tons.

Purchasing from a local die spotting press manufacturing company - CMTI http://www.cmti.co.kr )- a 2500kN die spotting press at the end of last year proved to be a right investment decision taken by Dukheung Engineering's management.
Before the introduction of the press, all moulds designed and manufactured in Dukheung Engineering had to be sent out for spotting to a spotting service outsourcing company.
This not only cost the company much, but also, as the supplier was not using its presses only for our molds, it was consuming 4 - 5 days before the mould was back in house.
Now, apart from other advantages that 180 degree tilting bolster die spotting press gives, like i.e safe for mould working on it, Dukheung Engineering is able to deliver to its customers with tools at least 3 - 5 days faster than before.
The total lead-time Dukheung Engineering are able to achieve now for smaller and less complex shaped parts tooling was reduced to 30 days and for the largest in weight and demanding much work on molds - 60 to 65 days.
Dukheung Engineering is a medium size, ISO9001/QS9000 certified Korean injection mould and die casting mould maker with an anual turnover close to US$3m.
The company specializes in tools for medium and large size parts with mould weight from 2 - 15 tons mainly for automotive, electronics sector.
Over 50% of manufactured tools are exported, mostly to Japan and Europe.
