Die technology
Line Dies
Each Operation required a separate press
Big parts
Run together in a common press
Cheap Die , Cheap Maintaining
Allow Multi axis rotation - complex geometries.
Smaller tools ,lighter die
Low production volume
Expensive.
Require sophisticated equipment
Die Technology
Progressive Die
Combines a number of forming and trimming functions
performed continuously on a metal strip.
Die technology
Progressive Die
Great Production rate ~100 per min and Up
Steel is fed into the die, typically from a coil.
Each die cycles perform multi operations along the strip
Material progresses automatically along the die.
Completed parts is cut and ejected each cycle
Die technology
Progressive Die
Great volume production
They often can run unattended.
Require only one press.
expensive
Require precision alignment and setup procedures.
Require a coil feeder system.
Require an open-ended press.
Damage to a single station requires removing the entire die set.
Much heavier than single-station line dies.
