In-Die Transfer Technology
This presentation provides key ele- ments for taking advantage of the latest in-die transfer technology. Attend and learn how to apply the technology to win more work, reduce costs and improve stamping efficiencies, and become knowledgeable about the dif- ferent styles of in-die transfer technol- ogy. Examples of different in-die trans- fer applications will be shown and real-world case studies discussed.
Bob Gunst, President, Jacar Systems
Sensors for Die Protection
Best practices for applying electron- ic sensors to detect and prevent the most common causes for die crashes will be discussed. Learn how to select and install sensors for minimizing the frequency of nuisance stops, as well as wiring techniques that maximize sensor longevity and minimize setup time.
Jim Finnerty, Product Manager, Win- triss Controls Group
Advances in Materials for the Metalworking Industry
Choosing the right tool steel for your cutting or forming applications can be difficult. This presentation looks at the many factors for optimizing material decisions. These include steelmaking practices, grade characteristics, heat- treatment recommendations, and the impact of manufacturing practices on the tool performance.
Patricia Miller, Senior Technical Manager, Bohler-Uddeholm
Tooling Strategies for High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Material
This presentation provides back- ground on the need for lightweight solutions in the automotive industry, and potential material and process solutions for high-strength alloy grades using hot- and cold-forming processes. Tool-design considerations in hot stamping of high-strength materials also are presented.
Gerald Anyasodor, Sr. Engineer Tech- nology Development, AP&T
Tooling Steel Technology for AHSS Applications
Attendees will learn about technol- ogy-based application developments in cold-work and hot-stamping; tool- steel selection criteria and best prac- tices, such as heattreat and grain ori- entation, forming, trimming and piercing of advanced high-strength steel grades; and case studies showing improved die performance from using
newly developed tool steels.
Tom Bell, Director, Hitachi Metals
In-Die Welding of Assemblies
This session offers a thorough pres- entation on the various techniques for in-die resistance spot welding for the assembly of components within pro- gressive or transfer dies. Technologies and approaches will be shown for achiev- ing speeds to 500-plus strokes/min.
