Description The CAP TOOL converts standard single-cavity dies into roller dies. A special geometry produced by EDM prevents the roller from leaving its seat except via a designated side, avoiding roller ejection that could damage the sheet. In addition to minimizing marks on the sheet and reducing required bending force by approximately 20%, the solution can eliminate the need for protective films and enables reuse of worn or otherwise obsolete dies.
Advantages - Conversion of single-cavity dies into roller dies
- EDM-crafted geometry to retain the roller in its seat
- Approx. 20% reduction in required bending force
- Fewer or eliminated marks on sheet metal
- Removes the need for protective films
- Allows recovery and reuse of old or damaged dies
Technical notes - Geometry produced by EDM (electro-discharge machining)
- Design prevents roller ejection except via the intended side, reducing sheet damage
