SlugKeeper Slug Retention Machine
A compact, innovative tool designed to improve stamping operations by precisely machining grooves into die cavities. This prevents slugs from pulling out the die cavity which will reduce downtime and eliminate costly repairs. Standing less than 8 inches high with a magnetic base, it easily mounts to the dies surface for in-press slug retention, saving time and labor. Lightweight and portable at under 15 pounds, it's suitable for use in the tool room or directly in the press with just a compressed air connection. It's easy to operate and handle making it perfect for operators. Enhance your stamping process efficiency and protect your expensive dies with the Slug Retention Machine.
Introducing the SlugKeeper: a revolutionary machine designed to elevate the precision and efficiency of your stamping operations. This cutting-edge tool meticulously machines grooves at precise depths and angles directly into die surfaces, creating the perfect amount of interference. This innovative approach prevents slugs from damaging the die, strip, or final part by ensuring proper amount of resistance is caused by these grooves keeping the slug from pulling onto the die surface. The result? A significant reduction in downtime and costs by eliminating the frequent pauses to clear slugs and the intensive labor of inspecting parts for slug marks or repairing die damage.
Compact and mighty, the SlugKeeper stands less than 8 inches high and weighs under 15 pounds, making it effortlessly portable in its sturdy carrying case. Despite its small stature, it's a powerhouse that can be mounted securely with its magnetic base onto the die surface for precision grooving. Suitable for enhancing die bushings, inserts, and venting stripper openings, this versatile machine is an asset in both the tool room and press floor.
Operation is streamlined with a simple compressed air connection, and the SlugKeeper comes fully equipped for immediate use:
- A SlugKeeper machine housed in a protective case for secure transport and storage.
- An operations manual by just scanning the QR code, providing comprehensive guidance for setup and use.
- An array of Borazon and Diamond Slug grooving wheels in four sizes .020” (.508mm), .035” (.890mm), .062” (1.575mm) & .095” (2.362mm) to accommodate various grooving needs.
- A Spider Light for enhanced visibility during operation.
- A detailed parts list and grooving depth info sheets to ensure precise adjustments.
- Return policy and warranty information, ensuring your investment is protected.
Designed for simplicity, the SlugKeeper can be set up and operated by a single person, making it an invaluable addition to any stamping operation seeking to boost productivity, minimize downtime, and extend the lifespan of the die. With the SlugKeeper, you're not just purchasing a machine; you're investing in a solution that safeguards your operations against unnecessary interruptions and expenses. You will never have slug (scrap) pulling issues again.
