Die Setting Practices and Press Safety Seminar
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 - Thursday, October 3, 2019
Hebron, KY
Die setting is a critically important activity that occurs multiple times throughout the day in the modern press shop. Proper die-setting practices and safety procedures are of prime concern because they can greatly impact machine uptime, machine maintenance, overall equipment life, die-maintenance cost, product quality, process repeatability and, most importantly, operator safety. View the event flyer here.
The Die-Setting Practices and Safety Seminar addresses fundamental die-setting concepts and best practices, including:
- Press technology, including servo technology
- Understanding machine capacity/limitations
- Feed-line technology, including straightener types, capabilities and limitations
- Feeding progressive dies, including verification steps to assure proper alignment
- Establishing and setting feed-release angles
- Troubleshooting progressive-die problems
- Quick-die-change technology
- Safety practices
- Counterbalance settings
- Recognizing and managing off-center loads and reverse tonnage
