For over 20 years, the Wintriss Die Protection Clinic has been the metalforming industry's premier source for dieprotection and in-die sensing information and training.

Using a down-to-earth approach, we cover every aspect of die protection and sensor selection for progressive, transfer, and compound dies.  Whether you're an experienced die protection user or have never installed a sensor, the clinic will provide you with the information that you need to improve your stamping operation and put an end to repetitive die crashes.  For experienced die protection users, the clinic is constantly updated with new die protection applications and information on how to apply the latest sensor and control system technology.

Each attendee receives a copy of the Wintriss Die Protection Handbook.  For ten years, the Handbook has been the stamping industry's most important reference for die protection, sensor selection and installation, die wiring, and technical information related to electronics and in-die sensoring.

Clinic Highlights

Theory - Find out how to get the most out of your die protection system.  We'll detail the proper use of various control functions and identify the five most important factors to consider when selecting a system.

Sensors - From basic probes to state-of-the-art electronic sensors, we'll show you how to select and properly apply the right sensor for any application.  We cover the advantages and limitations of each sensor type, and provide tips and tricks on the selection, installation, and wiring.

Implementation - We'll provide specific instructions on how to select a sensor that will last in a stamping die.  We will provide an overview of the testing process to ensure that each application is robust enough for a production environment.  Wiring guidelines are discussed along with recommended sensor connection hardware.

Applications - Learn the most effective methods for sensing non-ejected parts, feed problems, part transfer, stripper position, slug ejection, cam return, ejection cylinders, double blanks, material buckling, pulled slugs.
