Tooling by Design
achieved by running wires in channels machined into the die shoe. These wiring channels can be filled with silicone-rub- ber or covered with sheetmetal.
Selecting the correct punch materi- als, applying the proper cutting clear- ances and paying close attention to die alignment help stampers reduce downtime and lost production. The integration of die sensors with modern press controls also helps reduce punch- maintenance costs and inadvertent shipping of bad parts due to worn or broken punches.
Interested in learning more about advanced punch and die technology and how modern sensors and control systems can improve your punching and stamping operations? Attend PMA’s Punch & Die Technology seminar and Sensor & Control Systems seminar in Atlanta, GA, January 26 and 27, 2016. Visit www.pma.org/meetings for more information and to register. MF
