Presswork

We deliver presswork for manufacturers who need consistent parts, predictable output, and dependable delivery. Our presswork is backed by in-house tooling expertise and a structured try-out approach, so production stays stable over repeat runs.

We support customers from early review through to repeat production, helping you avoid the usual presswork problems such as variation, tool wear issues, and unnecessary downtime. By keeping tooling close to production, we can respond quickly when tools need adjustment, repair, or modification, and we can maintain control over the details that affect part quality.

Presswork

Need a presswork supplier that combines expertise with advanced capabilities? At Tooling 2000, we craft precision solutions designed to exceed your expectations.

From complex projects to high-volume production, our tailored services ensure unmatched quality and reliability.

We provide a complete presswork service for repeat output, built around control, consistency, and long-term reliability.

  • Presswork production for small, medium, and high-volume requirements (subject to part and tooling route) 
  • Support for precision components and more complex stamped forms
  • Stable, repeatable results through tooling control and disciplined set-up
  • Practical engineering input to reduce variation and improve repeatability

We provide a complete high-capacity stamping service, combining press power with the flexibility to suit different job types.

  • 2,500-ton mechanical press for heavy-duty stamping requirements 
  • Bed size 4050 × 2200 with shut height 1183 mm 
  • Coil feeder supporting progression tools up to 1520 mm coil width 
  • Two-motor configuration for flexibility:
    • Production motor for high-volume output
    • Micro-drive motor for precise, single strokes per minute 
  • Stroke settings can be adapted to optimise performance during the pressing process

We provide a complete tooling-backed presswork service, from tool build and try-out through to ongoing support on production jobs.

  • Midlands-based production supported by a tool room try-out service
  • Design and manufacture of press tooling to support presswork production 
  • Capability across single operation, tandem, and transfer tools, plus blanking, forming, trimming, and progression tools 
  • Support for part change introduction into current press tooling when designs evolve 
  • Reverse engineering and emergency tool repair support when needed

We provide a complete presswork quality approach to help you maintain consistent parts across repeat production.

  • Support for common metals including stainless steel, aluminium, and brass (and other materials depending on the requirement)
  • Clear focus on repeatability across runs, not just first-off results
  • Engineering-led review of critical features so the process stays stable
  • Practical improvements where needed to reduce scrap, variation, and downtime
  • Our 2,500-ton mechanical press features two motors: a production motor for 10-20 strokes per minute during production and a micro drive motor allowing one stroke per minute. This unique setup, combined with the presswork expertise of our skilled engineers, provides exceptional flexibility to adapt to the most suitable stroke during the draw process.

  • When pressing components for large-scale automotive projects, we utilise our 2,500-ton capability in a similar style to a slow hydraulic process. Having a 2,500-ton hydraulic-like capability within the UK is a rare advantage.

  • While producing progression tools or crop tools with follow-on transfer, we run trials with our coil feed unit, which handles widths up to 1,520mm and thicknesses of up to 6mm. By not relying on strip feed, we can accurately prove progression tooling, ensuring the feed timing aligns perfectly with the cycle time.
What types of presswork and stamping do you support?

We support a wide range of presswork requirements, including repeat-stamped components and formed parts. We also support different tooling approaches, depending on the part and volumes.

Do you provide press tooling in-house?

Yes. Tooling support sits alongside our presswork capability, which helps us maintain control over repeatability, quality, and lead times.

What materials can you stamp?

We commonly work with stainless steel, aluminium, and brass. If you have a different material, share the details and we’ll confirm suitability.

Can you handle both low and high-volume production?

Yes. We support different volume requirements depending on the part, tooling route, and production set-up. We’ll advise the best approach after reviewing your drawings and quantities.
