Components Only
- Customers have the ability to design the configuration of the finger tool assembly and select the appropriate components and shovels for their application.
- Customers have the ability to assemble the components for their finger tool assembly to their design.
- Customers are able to provide a list of standard components required via the internet or phone to our Components Product Group.
- A formal quotation and subsequent purchase order acknowledgement is submitted to the customer.
- Orders of standard components are typically shipped within two days.
- Overnight shipment is available for in stock items.
Finger Tooling Design
- Atlas tooling engineers review customers die data to determine the proper method and location for the finger tool to capture the part for all die stations.
- If proper finger clearances have not been allowed for in the die design, our tooling engineer will inform the customer.
- Engineering package includes the general arrangement drawing of the press, dies, process parts, transfer and tooling rails, and finger tooling assemblies.
- Included with this service is a three dimensional assembly drawing of each finger tool assembly defining set-up dimensions and angles, as well as, the identification of components and bill of material. Detailed drawings are provided for all custom designed components.
Die Integration Services
- Atlas tooling engineers are a consultant to the customer working with the die designer during the die design phase.
- Objectives are to assist the die designer with recommendations for clearances in tool steel to accommodate adequate capture of the part for the transfer motion.
- Additional recommendations are made to minimize the clamp, lift and transfer stroke of the transfer by reviewing location and sizes of obstacles such as die posts, heel blocks, cams, etc.
- The primary objective is to assure that the die design is transfer friendly and able to optimize the transfer and part path for the greatest throughput possible.
Finger Tooling Assembly
- Atlas manufacturing will assemble the components into finger tooling assemblies to the Atlas or customer supplied design.
Start-up Assistance
- Atlas service technicians will assist the customer in the physical set-up and final adjustment of the finger tooling assemblies to the dies and process parts.
- If the customer is using an Atlas FLEX Tri-Axis Servo driven transfer, the service technician will assist in programming and optimizing the transfer and part path.
