Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) – Designing, Building, and Optimizing Progressive Dies Seminar (Day 1 of 2)
December 7, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 2:30 pm EST
This event will be held live in Cleveland, OH but is also being offered virtually so you can attend remotely.
This is a two-day engineering and design-focused event for tool and die makers, die designers, tooling engineers and apprentices.
Day 1: Attendees learn the importance of material properties and press-line capacity, and their impacts on die design. An evaluation and ranking method for strip design is proposed, and its effectiveness demonstrated. The advantages and disadvantages of common part-carrier designs also are reviewed.
Die-guiding methods are assessed to meet alignment needs. Strip alignment, feeding and positioning methods also are reviewed. The day concludes with an analysis of internal die thrusts and how to compensate for them in the design.
Cost: PMA members – $449
Non-members – $649
