FABTECH: Proactive Conference Program
1:30–3:30 p.m.
Machine Safety—Alternative Methods for Applying Hazardous Energy Control Applying Alternative Methods of Hazardous Energy Control for Machine Safety and Productivity, Updates to ANSI Z244.1 Relative to OSHA 1910.147
This presentation reviews the updat- ed Z244.1 language for control of haz- ardous energy to include the current technology of modern-day safety sys- tems. Learn how to utilize this tech- nology for enhanced operator and machine efficiency in the current pro- duction environment.
Ted Sberna, White Horse Safety
Sensor Technology— Eliminating Die Crashes Sensors for Die Protection—
Make Die Crashes a Thing of the Past
This overview of sensors commonly used in progressive dies for preventing die crashes provides real-world sensor applications and covers sensor selec- tion, installation, wiring and program- ming logic for sensors used to monitor such events as part ejection, material feed, shut height, stripper position, cam/cylinder return, material buckle and other feed problems.
Jim Finnerty, Wintriss Controls Group

8-10 a.m.
Sensor Technology— Practical Applications Making Sense of Sensors for Metalforming & Assembly
This presentation shows exactly how to test all types of electronic sensors on a test bench to ensure successful application on the actual shop floor.
George Keremedjiev, Tecknow Education Services, Inc.
Automatic In-Die Part-Quality Monitoring & Tool Adjustments
Implementation of part measure- ment, die adjustment and part tracking
can result in 100-percent verification of critical part features, increased machine utilization, accurate produc- tion and scrap rates, and more reliable die protection. Learn practical meth- ods for selecting, applying and inte- grating sensors and control systems in order to fulfill accuracy and quality requirements.

Stamping AHSS Materials
Introduction to AHSS Properties
Advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) offer high strength combined with enhanced formability. This pres- entation discusses the properties and performance of various AHSS grades and their effects on the stamping process.
Pete Ulintz, Precision Metalforming Association
Taking the Kinks Out of Straightening 1000+ MPa Steels
AHSS (1000+ MPa) can present formability challenges as they have a greater tendency to retain coil set and tighter tolerances between yield and tensile strength. This presentation highlights key considerations, such as components, materials, power sources and design, when specifying a straight- ener to process AHSS, as well as ques- tions customers should ask of their equipment suppliers.
Hunter Coe and Tom Brockie, Coe Press Equipment
Tooling Optimization for AHSS Applications
Learn about options to improve tool life when running AHSS materials. The discussion will cover tool steels and coatings, how to select the best combi- nations for your application, and alter- native manufacturing methods for tool- ing, focusing on reducing tonnage and stripping forces for die optimization.
Jeremy Edson, Wilson Tool International
10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Advanced Pressroom Technology
Applications of Real-Time and Non- Destructive Evaluation Tools to Achieve First-Time Quality Stampings
Real-time and nondestructive mon- itoring tools have been used widely for various manufacturing processes such as joining and fabrication. This pres- entation discusses present and possible future applications of real-time and nondestructive evaluation tools to monitor and assess incoming-coil properties, blank-surface finish/lubri- cation, die stress, part temperature, final-stamping quality such as spring- back, and geometry tolerances for metal-stamping processes.
Hyunok Kim, EWI
Case Studies of IO-Link Modernizing the Press Shop
Using real-world case studies, this presentation shows how the open stan- dard, IO-Link (IEC 61131-9), helps eliminate downtime in the press shop due to shut height, roll alignment and quick die changes, while improving press maintenance.
Will Healy III, Balluff, Inc.
Solving Progressive
Die Problems
Solving Progressive Die Problems: Challenges & Practical Solutions
Solving metal-stamping problems in a progressive die can be challenging. Correct solutions are not always obvi- ous. Even when they are, they seldom address root causes. This presentation
