MTD has developed an expertise in die design and manufacturing and help extruders on the use of die at the press or die maker in delivery of high quality dies
It expertise cover the fields of
- large dies (diameter from 600 to 1200mm)
- high speed dies
- hard alloy dies
Die defects
Thank to it expertise and simulation software, MTD helps correctors to understand dies defect and to define the best modification to apply
Die improvement
MTD support extruders to improve the productivity of the die (extrusion velocity increase or die life increase). Thanks to the simulation software, MTD validate the optimum extrusion parameters for existing dies and provide modification to apply to go beyond them.
Die design
MTD provides die design for complex profile or large profile.MTD provides also design adapted to extrusion needs (high speed, stability, high lifetime). MTD is certified to deliver dies for automotive profiles.
Die quality
The design of the dies must meet special requirements, as our technology imposes high quality standards.
MTD helps its customers to set up a rigorous certification procedure, which must be followed during die manufacturing.
To ensure maximum benefit, MTD provides on-site training and support for die manufacture and die shop equipment.
MTD can also supply dies realized in partnership by a certified die maker (Phoenix International S.P.A.), under the supervision of MTD.
Die manufacturing
The extrusion industry requires high-quality dies to achieve
- high productivity (high extrusion speed)
- repeatability (no testing)
- long die life
- specific requirement according to profile use
MTD help also die manufacturers to achieve certification for the automotive business not only by improving their manufacturing and CAM processes, but also by advising them on steel quality and heat treatment
