The Weiss-Aug Group’s two specialty divisions, Lupine Research and JK Tool Inc offer in-depth manufacturing support services from raw material and tooling to inspection systems for manufacturing lines.
Automated Inspection Systems
Using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Lupine Research's automation division focuses on delivering custom equipment to OEM and Tier manufacturers. They focus on the needs of each product to determine the best way to inspect and verify very fine visuals.

Profiled Metal Strip Stock
Metal stamping companies know that only so much material can be coined during the progressive die stamping process before work hardening makes further reductions impossible. In some cases, where major differences in thickness are required on different points in a part’s geometry, profiled coil stock can be the best alternative for success. JK Tool Inc has pioneered a unique method to profile stainless steel, copper, and other types of coil stock to varying dimensions with repeatable accuracy.
TOOL FABRICATION
As a cornerstone to our business, the Weiss-Aug Group has built a reputation for tooling excellence. Our JK Tool division offers this as a custom product/service offering to a variety of different stamping companies that serve many industries.
