Description: What do you know about your stamping press?

All stamping operations consist of a press and a die, with the stamping press being the cornerstone of your stamping operation.  Regardless of whether you're using a 50 year old mechanical crank shaft press or a new state-or-the-art, fully automated servo drive cell, your understanding of how your press works and knowledge of the necessary calculations influences your bottom line.  Stamping expert Dennis Cattell will help you understand what you need to know to be successful in metal stamping.  Dennis will explain the technology advances in the 20th Century and what this means for you.  You will develop an understading of how your particular press works, how to perform the necessary calculations to determine die tonnage, and energy.
