Many progressive dies do not run at optimum production speeds. Many factors influence the performance of progressive dies including die setup procedures, feed settings, straightener settings, dynamic shut height variances, and press condition. This presentation examines the major factors influencing progressive die performance and part quality, including a focus on feed angles and establishing proper pilot release timing.
