Progressive Dies

• Multiple stations: These dies have several stations that perform different operations on a single piece of material as it moves through the die.
• Efficient production: Progressive dies are highly efficient for high-volume production.
• Complex shapes: They can produce complex shapes with multiple features in a single pass.

Compound Dies

• Combined operations: Compound dies combine multiple operations, such as blanking, piercing, and forming, in a single stroke.
• Reduced setup time: They reduce setup time and improve production efficiency.
• Limited part complexity: While effective for certain parts, compound dies may have limitations in terms of part complexity.

Single-Action Dies

• Simple operations: Single-action dies perform a single operation per stroke.
• Basic shapes: They are suitable for producing basic shapes or simple parts.
• Lower cost: Single-action dies are generally less expensive than other types.

Double-Action Dies

• Two operations: Double-action dies perform two operations per stroke.
• Increased productivity: They can increase productivity by performing multiple operations in a single cycle.
• More complex parts: Double-action dies can be used to produce more complex parts than single-action dies.
