Engineering & Tooling
Tool & Die Manufacturing
Precision tooling, jigs, fixtures and press tools from Konsa's Boksburg toolroom — supported by CNC machining, EDM and grinding through to trial and production handover in South Africa.
Tooling from Drawing Review to Production
Konsa supports tooling projects from drawing and component review through machining, EDM, fitting, trials and production handover. The toolroom works alongside CNC machining and plastic injection moulding, with reverse engineering available when original tooling data is incomplete — so customers can progress precision tooling with one accountable manufacturer in Gauteng.

Our Tool & Die Process
A clear route from enquiry to production tooling.
- Step 1
Drawing and Component Review
Review drawings, samples or specifications to assess manufacturability and tooling requirements.
- Step 2
Tooling Route Assessment
Define the practical route across machining, EDM, grinding and assembly for reliable manufacture.
- Step 3
Tool Design and Planning
Plan cavities, cores, inserts and build sequence so tooling is production-ready from the start.
- Step 4
Machining and EDM
In-house CNC machining and EDM for mould cavities, cores, inserts and precision tooling parts.
- Step 5
Tool Fitting and Assembly
Assemble and fit tooling components to verify function before trial and production release.
- Step 6
Trial Support and Production Handover
Support trial shots, adjustments and handover into Konsa injection moulding or customer production.

Jigs, Fixtures and Dies
Manufacture of jigs, fixtures, press tools, dies, mould tooling and special-purpose tooling to support repeatable production and assembly.
Jigs
Location and assembly jigs for consistent manufacture.
Fixtures
Workholding fixtures for machining and production processes.
Press Tools
Press tooling for forming and manufacturing applications.
Dies
Die manufacture and support for production tooling programmes.
Mould Tooling
Injection mould tooling from new manufacture through maintenance.
Special-Purpose Tooling
Custom tooling for specific production requirements.
Tool Repairs and Modifications
Assessment-led repair and modification of existing tooling. Suitability is confirmed after inspection — not every tool can be repaired.
Broken and Damaged Tooling
Assessment of broken or damaged mould components to determine whether repair is practical and cost-effective.
Wear-Related Repairs
Repair of worn cavities, cores, pins and other tooling elements affecting part quality or production reliability.
Component Replacement
Manufacture and fitting of replacement tooling components where repair by replacement is the appropriate route.
Tool Modifications
Modification of existing tooling to accommodate design changes or revised production requirements.
Product Changes
Support when a moulded component design changes and existing tooling requires assessment or modification.
Mould Maintenance
Routine and corrective maintenance to keep injection moulding tools in production-ready condition.
Tooling Made Elsewhere
Konsa can assess existing tooling made by other suppliers and advise on repair or modification options. Not every tool can be repaired — suitability is confirmed after inspection.
