Educational Conference
Proper Selection of Digital and Analog Sensors for In-Die Applications
In-die inspection not only comple- ments lean manufacturing but assists with efficient, profitable small-batch production. Information presented will allow attendees to know when to use digital sensors for simple part detection versus analog sensors for in-die/in- process part-quality measurements.
10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Tooling Technologies II
Tooling Improvements When Blanking and Forming AHSS
Hear recommendations on tool making, including tool steel selection through failure analysis, sheet hardness levels, surface finish and treatments, die clearance and coatings. Case studies will show how you can improve pro- ductivity and reliability with the prop- er tool steel, coating, surface conditions and operating parameters.
Cracking, Splitting and Twisting— Key Principles for Forming AHSS
This session will highlight the major factors that contribute to splitting, cracking and twisting problems associat- ed with forming advanced high strength steel. Learn key principles to identify and address these problems, allowing for trouble-free manufacturing.
Sensors for Error-Proof Metalforming II
Automatic In-Die Part Quality Monitoring and Tool Adjustments
Attendees will learn how modern controls make it possible to accurately and automatically perform die protec- tion and in-die part quality measure- ments and adjustments. These and other tools will be described to help stampers hold critical dimensional tolerances.
A Business Case Study for the Uses and Paybacks of Sensors in Metalforming and Assembly
Learn about the payback of a sensor program to the company’s bottom line, competitiveness and to its growth. Attendees will come away understand- ing that investing in advanced mistake- proofing support technologies will help assure survival in these tough econom- ic times.
1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Optimizing Stamping Fluids
Cleaning Stamped Parts
This presentation will discuss clean- ing methods for stamped parts and pro- vide the knowledge to work with sup- pliers and customers on cleaning requirements. It will illustrate cost sav- ings realized by evaluating the entire stamping process including lubrication, cleaning, rust protection and painting.
Decreasing Die Lubrication Usage While Increasing Productivity
This session will review different
REBORN TO PERFORM
The Heim Group restores pre-owned presses to
like-new condition, passing the savings on to you.
Can’t justify the purchase of a new stamping press? Consider acquiring a pre-owned remanufactured Heim®/Rousselle® model. Already own a Heim or Rousselle press? Take advantage of our rapid refurbishing service. Either way you will maximize the return on your investment. That’s because every press is carefully restored to “as new” condition, and backed by a new press warranty. It’s like getting a new press for half the cost.
