DTC Products, St. Charles, IL, exhibits its SlugKeeper machine, which prevents slugs from pulling back onto the die block. The unique device uses a pneumatically powered grinder to precisely machine a small angled groove into the sidewall of the die cavity in a stamping die in order to prevent slugs from pulling onto the die surface where they can damage the metal production strip, the stamped part or the stamping die itself.
The device includes a thumb screw to quickly adjust the grinder height, a plunger-style grinder-head assembly, and a grinder-head adjustable depth stop to control the grinder’s depth into the die cavity. Each of these features helps the operator quickly and more accurately position and control the grinder position.
