Focus on Education
In-Die Assembly, Monitoring and Adjustments In-Die Fastener Installations
This presentation explores the ben- efits of in-die fastener installation: increased productivity, elimination of bottlenecks, work-in-process reduction and improved quality. Also: deciding when in-die assembly is appropriate and how to evaluate a project.
Roger Patton, PennEngineering
In-Die Monitoring/Tool Adjustments
Learn the practical methods to select, apply and integrate sensors and control systems in order to fulfill accu- racy and quality requirements.
James Barrett, Link Systems, Inc.
Tuesday, November 7
8:00–10:00 a.m.
Press-Line Optimization
How to Optimize Your Press Line and Protect Your Tooling
Feedline optimization, die protec- tion and setup sheets will be covered. Also: tips on how to get the most from a press line by presenting the intricacies of indexing, die-protection schemes and efficient setup.
Rob Meyer, Nidec Minster Corp.
Cutting and Punching Technology
Improving Punch Productivity
Attendees will learn what clearances to use to improve punch productivity and how to reduce punch wear. Also, infor- mation regarding abrasive and adhesive wear issues, comparisons of characteris- tics of tool steels, and when to change a tool steel for a specific application.
Joel Cegielski, Dayton Lamina
10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Machine Modernization
and Safeguarding Reutilization of Existing Equipment
When the purchase of a new transfer cell isn't in the budget, reutilization of current/used assets can be an ideal alternative. This overview will look at the necessary considerations for deter- mining if reutilizing existing transfer
cells is the best alternative.
Bill Rogner, Atlas Technologies
Machine Safeguarding Overview
Practices for safeguarding metalwork- ing machines and the basic principles for risk assessment will be discussed.
Roger Harrison, Rockford Systems
Lubrication Technology
Lubrinomics
Learn how to evaluate different lubricants during a trial. Also: best prac- tices and important metrics for overall success and improving the bottom line.
Steve Lowery, Tower Metalworking Fluids
Metalworking Fluid Technology
This presentation will examine the roles metalworking fluids play in their respective processes, as well as how their chemistries interact to contribute to overall fluid performance.
Joseph Christy-Saviano and Adam Bringedahl, Biosolutions
1:30–3:30 p.m.
Equipment Installation
Advanced Manufacturing Equipment Installation Solutions
Many factors need to be considered prior to installing manufacturing equipment: Is equipment support crit- ical?; Can equipment be installed on the existing floor or is a new foundation required?; Does the foundation design require professional engineering?; and What are the machine requirements for stability, level, alignment and anchoring? Answers to these questions and others will be presented.
Richard A. Haase, Unisorb Installation Technologies
New! Die-Transfer Technology
Compact In-Die Transfers—
Intro to New Stamping Technology
Attendees will learn how to apply compact in-die transfer technology to win more work. See examples of the different types of compact in-die trans- fer tools.
Robert Gunst, Jacar Systems LLC
Sensors and Connectivity
Integrating sensors in the die, grip- ping of parts, and improvements in connectivity will be discussed through real-world case studies. In addition, the benefits of a connected transfer press will be discussed in the context of Industrial Internet of Things, robotic transfers and factory automation.
Will E. Healy, III and Dave Bird, Balluff Inc.
Wednesday, November 8
8:00–10:00 a.m.
Metal-Stamping Fundamentals
Basics for Nontechnical Executives, Directors and Managers
Gain a fundamental understanding of metal-stamping processes, com- mon industry terminology and gen- eral press-shop operations. This pres- entation is designed for those not directly involved in the manufacturing process, but are required to specify, purchase, manage or control stamp- ing processes, tools, and/or their related materials.
Peter Ulintz, Precision Metalforming Association
Die-Sensing Fundamentals
Sensors for Die Protection—
Make Die Crashes a Thing of the Past
The advantages and limitations of each sensor type will be discussed, and tips for sensor selection, installa- tion, wiring and maintenance will be presented.
Jim Finnerty, Wintriss
10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Manufacturing ROI and Tax Credits Servo-Press Technology ROI
