Custom Rotary Dies

Rotary Dies

Rotary dies are a great special tooling solution with numerous bending operation benefits. Because tonnage disperses with the movement of the rotating cam, the application requires less tonnage and makes bending sheet significantly easier for operators to handle. In some cases, using a rotary tool can cut labour costs in half, when more than one operator has traditionally been required, and improves safety. For cosmetic applications, rotary bending greatly decreases tonnage and part marking so sheets may require less protection and have improved finished appearance.

Rotary die features:
Improved safety for larger parts due to controlled material whip
Material marking is reduced since tonnage is reduced on the shoulder of the die and  abrasion is lessened
Reduced tonnage on an application by 50% or more
Potential reduction in labor needs
