ROBOTCO AUTOMOTIVE TOOLING

TRANSFER DIES

Multi-Stage Tooling for Large & Complex Automotive Parts

ROBOTCO designs and manufactures transfer dies for large, complex and multi-stage automotive sheet metal parts. Transfer tooling is ideal for components that require multiple forming, trimming and piercing stages with controlled part movement between stations.
