Blanking and forming die for sheet metal no. 6

Transfer dies

Transfer dies with gripper systems for sheet metal

For medium/large parts or deep forming: the part is separated from the strip and transferred from one station to the next by gripper systems.

What it is

How a transfer die works

In a transfer die the part is cut from the strip at the start of the cycle and moved between stations by a gripper system. This enables operations that are impossible with the part tied to the strip: deep drawing, forming on several sides, large parts.

We design the gripper systems together with the die, simulating their movements in 3D CAD.

Transfer die FAQs

How does it differ from a progressive die?

In a transfer die the part is separated from the strip and moved by gripper systems; in a progressive die it stays attached until the last station. Transfer is suited to large parts or deep forming.

Do you also design the gripper system?

Yes, gripper systems and movements are designed and simulated in 3D CAD together with the die.

Can I check the critical stages beforehand?

Yes, with a pilot die we can validate the most critical forming stages.

Do you also carry out stamping?

On request, we stamp the part.
