TURN KEY PROJECT SAMPLE

This picture represents an interesting project. This was a turn key project that included American Tool & Die designing and building a hydraulic punch press and a special change over die for a bottom drip pan die for vending machines. The die made six different size bottom drip pans which had an off set reverse double hem on it. One of the tricky requirements to figure out was how to accomplish this in one stroke of the press. The press was set up to dwell at the bottom of the stroke to allow the hem sections to bend, fold and crimp. There were a lot of moving parts in the die and a lot going on at the bottom of the press stroke while the press dwelled on bottom. The production rate required was 700 parts per hour, but the press ran consistently at 1,200 strokes per hour. In addition to the design and build of the punch press and die there was also a quick change over cart made with die change over inserts and an automated fixture and spot welding table to weld the bottom drip pan into several different sizes of outer vending machine shells. This was really one of those projects where American Tool & Die did what many said could not be done.
