Whenever handling tooling |
Job
Order, print or visual identification of tooling |
Be sure the full die number is
clearly metal-stamped on the tooling in a spot that is easily seen when the tooling is on
a rack or the floor. For an insert or multiple-impression die, the suffix must follow the
die number ("Z", "Y", "X" and so forth for insert holder ID;
for multiples, "D" for 2-at-a-time, "T" for 3, "Q" for 4,
"F" for 5, and "S" for 6). If tooling is shared by a group of dies
then it either should be stamped with all die numbers, or with some code assigned by VP Quality & Engineering that he can trace back to all the dies that use it. |
All tooling clearly and
prominently stamped so that it can be traced to die number(s) that use it |

on floor or such, position so die number can easily be seen or clearly mark die number in
paint stick so that it can easily be seen; if storing in racks, store dies, trimmers, etc.
in the same space placing tooling on top of dies whenever possible; if tooling is too
large to fit on top of dies, then store beside dies as close to dies as possible; write

organization of tooling racks, ask Die Prep Leadman) |
