Advanced Dies Manufacturing: The Core of High-Volume Production

The precision, speed, and quality of high-volume sheet metal production are determined by a single critical component: the die. Since 2009, Emin Mekatronik has served as a specialist in dies manufacturing, providing robust, high-precision tooling solutions for global industrial leaders.

Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Kayseri, Turkey, we provide expert engineering in complex progressive molds and large-scale transfer dies. We are not just manufacturers; we are your technical partner in optimizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) through superior tool design.

Progressive Molds: High-Speed Automated Production

A progressive mold (or progressive die) is an advanced tooling solution engineered for manufacturing small to medium-sized parts at exceptional speeds. In this automated process, a metal strip is fed through a series of stations, each performing simultaneous operations like cutting, bending, and punching with every stroke of the press.

Key Technical Advantages:

• High-Throughput Output: Optimized for mass production, capable of sustaining high-speed cycles.
• Reduced Operational Costs: Minimal manual intervention translates to lower labor costs per part.
• Sub-Millimeter Consistency: Every part is identical, ensuring flawless repeatability across million-cycle runs.
• Material Efficiency: Advanced strip layout designs minimize scrap (az fire), reducing raw material overhead.

Transfer Molds: Engineering for Complexity

When components are too large or require complex 3D repositioning between stages, transfer molds are the definitive choice. Unlike progressive systems, the part is independent from the strip after the first station, allowing for mechanical transfer systems—such as robotic arms—to rotate or flip the part for multi-angle processing.

Progressive vs. Transfer Die Selection

The choice depends on part geometry and size. Transfer dies allow for extreme deep drawing (essential for cookware and automotive tanks) and the integration of secondary operations like welding or tapping directly within the production flow.

Our In-House Mold Manufacturing Standards

At Emin Mekatronik, we manage 100% of the die manufacturing process in-house, ensuring uncompromising quality control.

1. Process Analysis & Verification: We utilize advanced CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and VISI software to perform static and kinematic analysis, validating the forming process before production begins.
2. Precision Component Machining: Utilizing CNC milling, high-accuracy Wire EDM, and grinding, we manufacture die components to the tightest industrial tolerances.
3. Assembly & Rigorous Tryout: Our expert toolmakers assemble each die with meticulous care, conducting rigorous tryouts on our in-house presses to ensure every part meets the final technical specification.

Diverse Tooling Solutions for Global Sectors

Our engineering team specializes in a wide array of mold types tailored for the **automotive**, home appliances, and energy sectors:

• Tandem Molds: For large-scale parts requiring separate press operations.
• Trimming and Beading Molds: Essential for finishing deep-drawn parts with clean edges.
• Forming Dies: For complex sheet metal shaping and bending.

Dies Manufacturing FAQs

What software do you use for die design?

Our design team utilizes industry-standard software including CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and VISI to perform comprehensive static and kinematic analyses.

What is the difference between a progressive die and a transfer die?

In a progressive die, the part remains attached to the metal strip as it moves through stations. In a transfer die, the part is cut free at the first station and moved independently, allowing for more complex shaping and larger part sizes.

Can you produce molds for deep-drawn parts?

Yes. We specialize in transfer and trimming/beading molds specifically designed for the complexities of deep drawing in sectors like cookware and automotive fuel tanks.
