New tools for the active die allow you to make larger forms than ever before. The “active die” option makes this possible by permitting an active forming stroke from below and allowing a completely new tool configuration. The working height of the die base can be programed so that the die does not touch the sheet during processing. Plus, the active die makes it even easier to process forms near clamps with only a minimal sheet skeleton. The result? Tools for the active die are setting new standards in sheet metal processing.
