Press Technology II:
Advancements in Servo Technology: A Technical Brief on Different Servo Options in the Automotive Press Industry
This presentation will touch on the latest advancements in servo technol- ogy not only in traditional mechanical- press applications (transfer, blanking, progressive, tandem and asymmetrical presses), but also new advancements in hot-stamping technologies moving to mechanical servo.

Servo Force, Velocity and Position
This presentation will address servo technology, enabling users to rethink the way they design their processes, tackle the challenges of higher-strength steels and other advanced materials, overcome part-quality problems, and reduce issues regarding press wear. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of how to improve their processes, overcome current and future challenges, and optimize efficiency from their investment.

Value-Added Technology:
The Advantages of In-Die Fastener Installation
By combining the fastener-instal- lation process with the stamping process, the secondary operation of fastener installation can be eliminat- ed. This increases productivity by improving throughput, reducing costs, reducing WIP and increasing quality. A full description of the individual ele- ments of an in-die system and how they function together to form a com- plete system will be reviewed. This multimedia presentation includes detailed graphics, functional anima- tions of the internals of the die tooling, and photographs of typical and unique projects.
Roger Patton, PennEngineering
Press Technology III:
Advances in Hydraulic Press Technology—Case Studies
Multiple case studies with videos and samples of customer parts will be presented in a wide variety of applica- tions, such as deep drawing, coining, punching, ironing, powder compaction and assembly. This informative pres- entation will explore the following core metalforming technologies: basic deep- draw technology including program- mable cushion functions; high-speed servo hydraulics; quick die change; press automation including automated blank handling, servo transfers, index- ing and robotics; and in-die sensing and data acquisition including OEE tracking.

Making Simulation a Reality: Mapping the Effects of the Production Stamping Environment to Computer Analysis
In this session, participants will iden- tify common sources of variation in the stamping environment and relate them to the common inputs and assump- tions made during the engineering process and stamping simulation. Par- ticipants will be introduced to methods and practices that can inform engi-
