S15—Sensors for Die Protection— Make Die Crashes a Thing of the Past Jim Finnerty, Wintriss Controls
Group LLC
Die-protection systems have been
around for decades. Recent advances have made these important monitoring devices more powerful and more for- giving. Attendees will learn how to get the most out of a die-protection sys- tem. Finnerty details the proper use of control functions and features and identifies the three most important factors to consider when selecting a system. You also will learn how to select and properly apply the right sensor for any application. He explains the advan- tages and limitations of each sensor type, and provides tricks and tips for sensor selection, installation, wiring and maintenance.

S16—Automatic In-Die Part Quality Monitoring & Tool Adjustments
James Barrett, Link Electric & Safety Controls
Implementation of part measure- ment, die adjustment and part tracking can result not only in 100-percent ver- ification of critical part features, but also in significantly increased machine utilization, accurate production and scrap rates, and more reliable die pro- tection. Learn the practical methods to select, apply and integrate sensors and control systems in order to fulfill accuracy and quality requirements.

S17—Creating Operational Excellence in the Press Shop Through Automation
Will Healy III, Universal Robots
Part quality issues and missed pro- duction quotas can sink profitability in a competitive marketplace. The same
problems reappear but due to stress, lack of training or hard delivery dead- lines we struggle to find the time to solve the root cause of the problem. The challenge of workforce retirement drives us to understand how to inte- grate new generations into the press shop and successfully drive culture change in the organization. In this pres- entation, we will discuss how to sys- tematically achieve operational excel- lence using best practices and technology to improve up-time and eliminate nuisance stops. Drawing on more than a decade of personal expe- riences, successful philosophies will be offered to overcome challenges in metal stamping production. When operational excellence is achieved, manufacturers find that they have improved their competitive position, are more in touch with their business, have reduced costs and waste, have eliminated die crashes and are boosting productivity.
