Die Setter

_**Burloak Tool & Die is currently hiring an Press Die Setter **_**for our automotive parts manufacturing facility located in Burlington.**

Burloak is known for superiority when producing complicated prototype parts for a large variety of industries. All tooling is designed in-house using (3-D) VISI software. We take pride in the fact that all the necessary tooling components including custom die shoes are machined in-house using our state-of-the-art CNC equipment.

Burloak designers have experience with machine design, automotive progressive dies, die transfer, and part development/prototypes. Burloak is the “go to” organization for quality parts, quick turn around and on-time delivery. Burloak has the ability to produce parts of any quantity while strictly adhering to drawing specifications and tolerances. Known for high quality prototype parts, it is a challenge to decipher if those parts were produced off hard tooling. Burloak provides a full in-house stamping facility. Presses and feed lines range from 40 Ton to 800 Ton.

Burloak's in-house stamping department not only provides our customer with quality parts, it also provides added value, with spot welding, surface coatings, a robotic weld cell and a full assembly line.
