Stamping Die Maintenance: A Way Forward for Enhancing Die Life and Product Quality

Date : 13 to 14 July, 2023   Location / Mode : Pune

INTRODUCTION

Mass manufacturing stamping shops utilize costly Dies and much costlier presses and press-lines, and it is imperative to have sustained high stroke rate, equipment utilization and quality to remain competitive in business. Apart from freak mishaps, Stamping Dies are subjected to normal wear and tear, leading to loss of quality.

There is need to monitor, maintain , improve and restore Stamping Dies periodically and resolve any quality impairment in firefighting mode, so as not to mass produce defects. Dies going abruptly out of service causes total production hold up, as Dies are often unique and there are no alternative ways of continuing production. Once damaged, Dies cannot be restored fast enough; this makes proactive preventive maintenance absolutely inevitable.

Maintenance of Stamping Dies require very different kind of competency, skill set and modus operandi which personnel in mass production environment would normally have. Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturer’s Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day programme on Die maintenance : A Way Forward for Enhancing Die Life and Product Quality on 13 - 14 July 2023 at Pune.
