How In-Die Sensing and Press Setup Technologies Enable Quick Die Changes and Prevent Die Crashes
For many in stamping operations, poor part quality and missed production quotas can be a daily source of frustration. Teams need to identify quality issues early and adjust quickly so they can have zero defects shipped to customer. This is readily accomplished through in-die process validation, electronic measurement and part traceability. Through real-world examples, this session will discuss how press shops are successfully implementing error-proofing, preventing die crashes and implementing quick die changes regardless of their experience with automation.
