Progressive stamping dies are exposed to internal and external forces, shocks and vibrations that must be mitigated during the die design process. This presentation addresses key engineering principles and design guidelines that should be considered during every die design. Topics include off-center loading, horizontal die forces, snap through loads, the effects of reverse tonnage, material hold down and stripping systems, stock guiding and lifting systems, and designing dies with maintenance in mind.
