Advantages
Why Choose Tollaston for Applications Engineering?
Proven before you buy
A real test cut or test job on your own material replaces a catalogue cycle-time estimate.
A process plan, not just a machine
Fixturing, tooling and program sequencing are built around your actual parts.
Post-processors built for you
5-axis and multi-axis programs are developed and proven before the machine ships.
Ongoing optimization
Our engineers stay engaged as your parts mix and volume change over time.
How It Works
The Applications Engineering Process
Parts and process review
We review your drawings, material and target volumes before recommending equipment.
Tech Centre test
A documented time study or test cut runs on your own parts at our Vaughan Tech Centre.
Tooling and program development
We build fixturing, nesting, CAM programs or post-processors sized to your production.
Production run-off
We prove the finished process on your parts before handing off to your team.
Ongoing optimization
As your parts mix or volume changes, our engineers revisit the process with you.
FAQ
Applications Engineering Questions
Answers to common questions about our applications engineering service.
No — the Tech Centre test cut or test job happens before you commit, so you're buying based on proven performance on your own parts, not a catalogue number.
Most modern CAM packages already do; where a specific post-processor is needed — most often on 5-axis equipment — our applications engineers develop and prove it as part of your purchase.
No — we also take on process optimization engagements for equipment already on your floor when a parts mix or volume changes enough to be worth a fresh look.
It depends on part complexity, from a same-day test cut to several days for a full multi-operation process proof — we scope it with you before scheduling.
