CUSTOM MACHINE

West Salem Tool & Die (WSTD) designs and builds custom machines with integrated fluid, electrical, control, and safety systems. Our turnkey solutions serve customers across automotive, energy, and heavy equipment manufacturing, delivering machines tailored to fit the application.

A custom design allows you to control every technical aspect of the machine.

  • Increase production: Multi-spindle CNC drilling machines reduce cycle times and ease choke points.
  • Improve efficiency: Programmable hydraulic presses run at the required speed and force.
  • Customize safety: Machine guards and interlocks built to your shop’s requirements.

If you need a custom machine, contact us. WSTD handles engineering, build, delivery, and installation across Wisconsin and the Midwest. Every design is quoted up front, and we’re happy to tackle new concepts.

Need something not shown elsewhere on this website?  That’s fine, we tackle new designs all the time.  Contact us and start your project today.  We’re always willing to put together a proposal and offer a free quote.

We also manufacture modified versions of our standard equipment — extended-length WTP tube planishers, 10- and 12-ton hydraulic presses, tube slotters, welding turntables with custom tooling, and large CNC drilling machines.

Our design process includes FEA and calculations for stress, heat, and fluid behavior. Machines are built by experienced toolmakers with an eye toward serviceability: we design for bolt access, easy disassembly, and long-term maintenance. Engineering is completed in SolidWorks. We manufacture all components in-house so spares and future modifications will always be available.
