Powder Compaction Tooling Innovat ive Solution for the Compaction of Metal and Ceramic Powder There are two main reasons for the usage of reference clamping systems for the compaction of metal and ceramic powders – precision / compaction technology and productivity. Precision / Compaction Technology • Increase of compaction quality, burr less / burr free compaction • Compaction of high precision green parts • Reduction of compaction tool clearance • Co axial compaction – splitted punch • Multi axial compaction – closed, opened and splitted die • Compaction of multi cavities Productivity • Reduction of set up times due to decreased batch sizes • Reduction of compaction tool costs due to increased wear and damage of tools • Reduction of production costs and through put times of the compaction tools ProGrit provides system solutions for different requirements – from tool design, compaction tools over the tool shop up to the reference clamping systems for the presses. Single Level Multi Level High Power Application 5–100 tons 5–100 tons 50–1'000 tons 6 Powder Compaction Tooling Powder Compaction Tooling 7

Precision / Compaction Technology Burr free or burr less compacting requires highest precision in the tool shop, the press and the compaction process. The Powder Compaction System of ProGrit achieves this precision by high precision positioning of the tool clamping system and precise alignment of these positioning systems to each other in the press.

A perfect symmetrical distribution of the compaction clearance can be guaranteed through the TPS-3i technology.

Productivity – Set Up Times Cost reduction by reducing set up times and concurrent elimination of tool damage in the compacting process results in pay back times of less than 0,5 years for the investment in a Powder Compacting Tooling System. Total set up time = Change of tools + Alignment of tools Conventional clamping 2-4 h Single-level Reference clamping system 98% Savings 2-4 min 0 2 4 Tool setup times [h] Conventional clamping 12-24 h Multi-level Refere n c e clamping system 95% Savings 1-1,5 h 0 12 24 Tool setup times [h] 8 Powder Compaction Tooling Powder Compaction Tooling 9

Consulting & Engineering over the whole Powder Compaction Technology Chain ProGrit supplies customized developments, concepts und solutions for • Reference clamping systems for single and multi-level applications • Co axial compaction – splitted Punch • Multi axial compaction – closed, open and splitted die • Compaction with multi cavities • Design and standardization of compaction tools and filler plates • Development of manufacturing concept for the tool shop • Measurement technology for measurement, correction and referencing of presses and die sets • Measurement technology for alignment of reference clamping systems in the press • Palletization technology for positioning of existing compaction tools and position correction of new produced compaction tools • System integration in press and die set • Production technology and adaption and set up of the tool shop • Full automated powder and compaction tool change Concept, Design and Production of Complex and High Precise Compaction Tools The concept, design and production of complex and high precise compaction tools was adapted on the base of the longtime know how of ProGrit in the fi eld compaction of metal and ceramic powder to the usage of reference clamping systems. ProGrit supplies for complex product geometries in the fi eld of • Multi cavities tools • Co axial compaction – splitted punch • Multi axial compaction – closed, opened and splitted die the complete tool technology as well as the pro- duction of the compaction tools. Pneumatic Support and Supervision of Reference Clamping Systems The pneumatic support and supervision of reference clamping systems is done by control boxes and air supply units which are installed in the press. Due to safety aspects the reference clamping systems are supervised regarding their operation behavior and status during the compaction process. Handling Applications for compaction forces over 100 tons leading to compaction tools and changeable parts of the press or the die set in the range of more than 50 kilograms. ProGrit develops and supplies gripper and handling solutions for those parts. 8 Powder Compaction Tooling Powder Compaction Tooling 9

RFID / Work and Data Flow / Technology Chain The continuous production of compaction tools on pallets places high demands on an optimal work and data fl ow from the tool shop up to the usage of the compaction tool in the press. Shortest set up times of machine tools combined with highest manufacturing precision reduces the tool manufacturing costs. Tool Design Tool Shop Work and data fl ow supported by QS Measurement • Reference clamping systems Alignment • Measurement and alignment systems • Automation • Identifi cation systems • Production cell management/Job management systems Compaction Technology chain – Powder Compaction Tooling The Powder Compacting Tooling system guarantees the consistence of the interfaces from the tool shop up to the press. Work fl ow and data fl ow are supported and optimized by reference clamping systems, RFID based identifi cation systems and adapted measurement technologies. The implementation of a Powder Compacting Tooling system results in a closed technology chain - from tool design to the tool shop over the quality assurance up to the press. Adaptation and Equipment of Tool Shop for Full or Partial Integration The Powder Compaction Tooling System works in the press with palletized and referenced compaction tools. In the continuity of the manufacture and usage of compaction tools it can be distinguished between: • Full integration All machines of the tool shop are equipped on the machine table side with the Powder Compaction Tooling. • Partial integration The tool shop still manufactures compaction tools conventionally and is therefore not equipped with the Powder Compaction Tooling System. The compaction tools are connected with the pallets and positioned on the pallets in the quality assurance department by using the coordinate measuring machine and the palletization alignment system PAS 3i. 10 Powder Compaction Tooling Powder Compaction Tooling 11
