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
