TECHNOLOGY LEADERS
Electrical
sions in the tool is more cost-effective
than being forced to address robustness
and other die features after the
tool is built. Consider increasing the
die shoe to prevent flexing, using
larger- diameter guide pins, or adding
stations in the tool.
Tool support. Carefully assess the
press bolster opening and whether it will
support the tool. A tool flex of just a few
thousandths of an inch can lead to a
part variation. Sometimes a custom support
plate under the die shoe can be an
effective way to minimize tool development
costs in this instance.
Sensors and stock support liners. Die
designers should always include feed-todie
support liners and buckle sensors. At
a minimum, consider a micron sensor to
detect slug pulls or a misfeed sensor or
buckle sensor for stock feeding issues. A
loop sensor between the coil stock and
press feed can also be engineered.
Progressive die design checklist. A
checklist based on past pain points and
lessons learned is a very effective way to
minimize progressive tool development
costs with each project. Following every
build, problems that surfaced during
development and effective solutions that
were identified and implemented can
help minimize issues with future projects.
A checklist can be modified with
every subsequent die build to increase
effectiveness and improve development
time in the design phase. CMOs that
work smarter will be invaluable partners
to their customers.
Conclusion
Demand for disposable surgical
devices is growing and is here to stay.
Presterilized and individually packaged,
they offer surgeons and healthcare
facilities a high-performing offthe-shelf
option that can mitigate risk
of contamination and infection for
patients and hospital staff. Working
with a CMO partner experienced in
prototyping to mass production, OEMs
can deliver practical, high-quality, reliable
solutions while keeping costs manageable
and return on investment high
for their customers.
