Comparison between Transfer Dies and Progressive Dies

Comparison between Transfer Dies and Progressive Dies Points : Comparison between Transfer Dies and Progressive Dies Transfer Dies

1. The main advantage of transfer dies over progressive die is a reduced liability to damage due to scrap metal getting into the dies as already cut blanks are fed to the dies.
2. The elimination of a great deal scrap loss is the greatest advantage of transfer operations.
3. Transfer blanks can also be cut to take advantage of the grain direction of the metal stock.
4. Transfer mechanism generally has a higher initial cost than progressive die setup.

Progressive Dies

1. In progressive dies continues strip from a coil is fed into the dies where in transfer dies previously cut blanks are fed into the dies.
2. Progressive operations can usually be run at higher speeds and with shorter press strokes than comparable transfer operation.
