Option 1 - Automation Study (FIP)

Automation studies or the Finger Integration Package (FIP) shows the gripper, cup, or end effector location together with the transfer curves.

• Ensures die design is optimal for automation
• Increases strokes per minute (SPM)
• Eliminates or reduces extra machining cost due to automation issues
• Ensures panel optimal handling 
• Smooth home line press launches
• No tooling design is included in this package
  

Option 2 - Curve Creation

This process takes die components and press capabilities into consideration to design curves that will optimize throughput.

Option 3 - Tooling Design with Tooling Integration Review (FIR)

Tooling Design:

• Shows completed design with full dies and panel strip layout
• Smart Press Models allow our Engineering Team to check accuracy in all positions of the transfer motion

Tooling or Finger Integration Review (FIR):

• Identifies issues between the tooling and the die in advance
• Evaluates the complete design and explains all issues and concerns found during the design stage
• Helps eliminate interference issues during home line tryout, as well as rework machining costs 
• FIR report is included with every Tooling Design

Option 4 - 2D Documentation

• Provides supporting documents for the build, order, and set-up of the panel and press

Option 5 - Hard Tool Check

• Provides verification that the FIR report changes have been made by the die design source
• Provides verification that the dies match the die design and panel transferability

Option 6 - Tooling Assembly

This process verifies that the tooling is built exactly to the design parameters.

• Ensures the customer receives plug-and-play tooling for quick and easy installation

Option 7 - Tooling Installation (Launch Support)

Our Field Support experts will come to the plant and aid with the initial tooling set-up.

• Reduce Home Line Tryout time

Option 8 - Simulation

Simulation can be done to improve the transfer and  performance of the press (SPM), and/ or to optimize the transfer curve for a new job.

• A Norgren Press Programming Specialist will optimize your transfer curves using transfer press simulation software
• Press curves are custom to each die 
• Analyzes current transfer, identifies clash or clearance issues, and adjustments to increase SPM
• Completely eliminates trial and error prior to first run
• Faster start up, avoid die rework, and increase SPM
