Cr-V Springs - Produce Productivity Bounce

摘要

With a surge in the use of multiple-out dies, and a 25-percent increase in the number of tools being run in their stamping plant, Oberg's die maintenance group looked for a spring solution to keep the tools in the presses longer between maintenance cycles. The answer came with an upgrade to chrome-vanadium die springs. Here's the live-action view of the production environment at one of Oberg Industries' stamping facilities: Upgrade a reel-to-reel die to produce terminals two-out at more than 1200 strokes/ min., yielding a 500-percent increase in production volume without any incremental increase in labor or press time.
