The company also serves the appliance, communications, and energy markets among other emerging industries. Wiegel specializes in tight tolerance parts from red metals including copper, bronze and brass, as well as other exotic metal alloys, aluminum, carbon steel and ferrous metal. Aaron Wiegel, the third generation President of the family-owned business, heads up the current management team along with his younger brother Ryan, Project Manager, and his sister Erica, Prototype Manager.
The current generation credits, not only their grandparents, but their recently semi-retired father Martin, for the solid financial foundation of the business.
Wiegel Tool Works has not only invested in high quality capital equipment, but in quality-ensuring processes that continually improve the products and services delivered to its customers. As a result, Wiegel has seen record growth while many of its competitors have gone under. A 20, sq. In a few short years the Wiegel Tool Works facility has nearly doubled from 48, to 93, sq. And because the finished strip is a solid 3D model, designers can rotate it to inspect the problem areas.
Progressive Die Wizard also automates much of the work of building the die. Changes, such as moving stations around to optimize function, are quickly implemented.
And the better the tooling, the higher the quality of the stamping, which is ultimately what our customers want. WTW uses NX for manufacturing to extend the benefits of the new design process into the realm of manufacturing. In the past, manufacturing engineers imported IGES versions of the 2D engineering drawings and used them to generate 3D data for toolpath creation.
This was timeconsuming. Also, it opened the door to error, either a misinterpretation of something on the drawing or the use of an outdated drawing. With NX for manufacturing, the manufacturing engineer works directly off the 3D model. And there is no way to use an older version of a design. Niewiara estimates that CNC programming time has been reduced by 25 percent with NX for manufacturing.
