How to increase the productivity of precision dies

Optical 3D measurement of precision dies

Dimensional accuracy & surface roughness of punches, stamping & bending dies

In today's manufacturing processes, achieving precise and high-quality results is paramount, especially when it comes to precision dies such as punches, stamping and bending dies. These tools play a crucial role in various industries, including automotive, plastics, electrical, textile and medical technology. Production through shaping processes such as stamping, punching, bending or deep drawing involves a number of challenges. At high volumes and speeds, smooth replacement of dies is necessary for consistent component quality. Are you also confronted with complex geometries with steep flanks and very smooth surfaces? Discover the optical 3D measurement of dimensional accuracy and surface roughness in one system with Bruker Alicona.

Why to choose Bruker Alicona's optical 3D metrology for your precision dies?

When manufacturing precision dies, the stakes are high. Exact bending angles, precise stamping depths, tight tolerances and high repeatability are required. To ensure longevity and reliability of precision dies, traditional or tactile measurement technologies reach their limits: Either the measurement time is too long, there are only 2D sections, or there is a compromise between measurement accuracy and resolution. That's where Bruker Alicona steps in with their optical 3D measurement solutions. Bruker Alicona measuring devices not only meet the highest quality standards, but also enable:
