Die set is a guide that secures dies to the press and enables accurate vertical motions. For the improvement of the precision of products, it is required that the die set surely hold dies, concentricity and coaxiality (flatness and perpendicularity) of cope and drag be accurate, and the replacement of dies be easy.
When attached to a generic press, the “enclosed die set” NICHIDAI has developed has a mechanism to enable complex-shaped products to be forged by customer’s mechanical press. Just changing the length of the pantograph enables the mass production of a wide variety of enclosed forgings.
