Error Proofing I:
Die Protection and Sensor Basics
This session introduces attendees to the basics of in-die sensing for die protection. Starting with an overview of the many types of sensors commonly used for die protection, attendees will learn how to select and properly apply the right sensor for any application. Using real-world examples, the advan- tages and limitations of each sensor type, as well as tips and tricks on sen- sors selection, installation and wiring, will be highlighted.

Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) Technology I: Production Applications
of the Future Steel Vehicle
(FSV) Program
Newly developed AHSS grades have increased in tensile strength, and inno- vative processes have made application of these grades more effective. Further, 3G (gauge, grade and geometry) design optimization has been applied to gen- erate significant mass and cost savings. This presentation will review current production examples of lightweight- ing of body sheet components using these new technologies, which were first introduced in the FSV program.

Error Proofing II:
Advanced Die Protection and Error-Proofing, with Case Studies
This session will focus on the imple- mentation of a serious die-protection and error-proofing program for metal- forming and assembly companies. Included in this session will be the uses of electronic sensors for die protec- tion, in-die part-quality monitoring and automatic self-adjusting tooling
