Die Design and
Special Projects
Die Engineering
Die engineering innovates die design
solutions tailored for your transfer press
» 3D die processing creates ideal die
layouts minimizing the number of dies
needed and reducing machining waste
» 3D die design modeling replicates
die functions by filling gaps
between dies, or orienting and
rotating parts in a series of dies
» Feasibility press studies perfect the die
process by automating sheet metal
motion plans through a press or within
multiple presses and idle stations
Custom Projects
Custom equipment can be designed to bridge
gaps between operations to amend press
processes for new parts or to reuse old tooling
equipment in new applications or plants.
» Linear slides to work
around a pitch problem
» Tipper, Rotary or Spreader
Units (or a combination) to get
around die process issues
» Tooling carts for organized
storage of tooling by job
» Turnover stations to resolve
part orientation issues
» Black Slice Nesting System for
supporting panels in press idle stations
when a die is lacking, or a part needs
to be staged for the next automation.
The Black Slice Nesting System
conforms to the geometry of the part
for effective support and protection.
