SlugKeeper Slug Retention Machine with Microscope & Monitor Display System
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.
The ultimate stamping operation solution, now enhanced with advanced visualization tools for unparalleled precision and ease of use. This compact and innovative machine not only machines precise grooves into die cavities to prevent slug damage but also comes equipped with a comprehensive visualization package:
- A crisp 5" monitor for real-time viewing of the grooving operations.
- A 5mm USB Flexible Microscope Camera that offers detailed views of the machining process.
- A monitor holder post and microscope holder for safe stable positioning.
- A magnetic borescope holder for precise positioning to get the best view of the cavity.
- A complete parts list ensuring you have all necessary components at your fingertips.
- A detailed microscope operations manual, providing step-by-step instructions by just scanning the QR code on the machine or in the "Thank you" booklet.
Lightweight at under 15 pounds and standing less than 8 inches high, the Slug Retention Machine is portable and easy to use with just a compressed air connection. It's designed for both tool room and in-press applications, capable of enhancing productivity, protecting your stamping die, and reducing operational costs.
