Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) – Deep Draw Technology Boot Camp (Day 2 of 3 Days)
August 16, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 4:30 pm EDT
This event is held in Cleveland, Ohio, but you can also attend online!
This is an intensive three-day engineering and design event for tool and die makers, die designers, tooling engineers and apprentices.
Day 2: In a step-by-step approach, attendees will process a theoretical Request For Quote (RFQ) for a cylindrical part that includes estimating the number of draws and the blank size; calculating the required press-stroke length, tonnage and energy requirements; then selecting an appropriate press and determining the strokes-per-minute for the job.
Multiple methods are presented for calculating draw reduction limits and balancing draw reduction ratios, selecting punch nose profiles for drawing and redrawing, estimating blankholder forces, and selecting pressure systems. Progressive die applications and solving draw-related problems will also be reviewed.
Cost: $549 for PMA members
$749 for non-members
