  • Mid-frequency welding with servo controlled locations
  • Tooling design for automated press line including part transfer with auto die change
  • Matching shut height for all tooling
  • Matching clamping locations for all tools
  • Cell configuration layout for lean manufacturing  
 
Solution:
  • Single source for total project control.
  • Tooling group supplied parts for the equipment development and run off.
  • Tooling group utilizes Dynaform software for drawn part die design.
  • Machine design utilizing information from tooling.
Highlights:
  • Tooling package included twenty dies for the one project plus eight additional for other parts.
  • One special machine for final piercing of different hole pattern.
  • One to form a reverse curl complete in the opening and one to spot weld all parts together including two additional parts.
