ROBOTCO designs and manufactures progressive dies for high-volume automotive and industrial sheet metal production. Progressive dies combine several operations in one continuous strip process to reduce cycle time, improve repeatability and increase production efficiency.
Progressive dies allow blanking, piercing, bending, forming and trimming operations to be performed across multiple stations while the material strip advances through the tool.
