Using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Coatings to Improve
Tool Steel Performance
A coating system that will not alter the core hardness of the tool-steel sub- strate or result in a dimensional change is critical. Within these constraints, the ideal option is a physical vapor depo- sition (PVD) coating.

Trends in Part Processing
This presentation will review a range of examples of stamped parts from class A and class B automotive parts to deep-drawn and special applications such as fineblanking. The capabilities, advantages and potential future appli- cations of using servo-drive technolo- gy as compared to traditional meth- ods will be compared and explained.

Die Protection and Sensor Basics
This workshop introduces the basics of in-die sensing for die protection. Starting with an overview of the dif- ferent types of sensors commonly used
for die protection, attendees will learn how to select and properly apply the right sensor for any application. Real- world examples will highlight the advantages and limitations of each sen- sor type.
