MCD does not provide a "standard" timeframe for repair and calibration of tooling. Repair and calibration is unique to each user and should be based upon frequency of use, proper care of tool, internal requirements, or adherence to a QMS. DMC suggests verification of tooling on a frequent basis to ensure the tools are performing as the OEM intended.
The tooling might be worn or in need of repair. Contact MCD-Tools immediately +49 6171 2779191 or email repair@mcd-tools.de
Over time tools will become worn or may be in need of adjustment. Gaging is a good way to verify the tool will meet the OEM's performance expectation, however, routine calibration is always a good idea. Calibration schedules can be based on several variables: number of cycles, length of time since last calibration, damage or improper care of tools, etc. A calibration schedule should be determined by the end user to ensure quality and tool life.
