New Tooling Deliverables and How to Use Them

T-SIM Service Department Transfer Die Simulation Deliverables for New Tooling 

General Information we provide back:

Corrective Action Reports 

Also known as CAR's, are the deliverable we create from the results of the simulation. The CAR's are delivered PDF format detailing any clearance or interference issues found in simulation and any alterations made to supplied automation. These items will need to be changed in order for the tooling to achieve the desired production rate. Additionally we may add slides in suggesting other issues not related directly to the transfer system simulation. Our technicians have decades of experience in tooling and we act as a second set of eyes on your design. 

Videos

New tool simulations will include at least one full motion video of the entire die running . When clarification on specific issues is needed, we may also include additional videos showcasing specific issues to ensure clarity about what needs to. 

Step Files

Step files include fingers (grippers or shovels) positioned on the station panels at clamp-in-stop (pick-up position). We include a step file anytime changes are made to finger styles or finger positions (examples:  changed gripper jaw swings, moved a finger to improve die clearance, changed the mount on a gripper). 

New Tooling Simulation Deliverables:  

R1 Deliverables 

  1. R1 Corrective Action Report (CAR) with the simulation results put into an actionable format. 
    1. The designer is responsible to make design alterations based on the reported issues. 
    2. If the designer is unable to make a change as suggested, we ask for clear communication on how the change was made or why it was not. This will prevent wasted time going over the same issues more than once.
  2. Video(s)
    1. One full motion video is included and additional videos may be added to clarify specific issues
  3. Step file of bars and automation at clamp in stop with panels (if changes were made to the automation in R1)
    1. To know when we will make changes to automation read this article.

R2 Deliverables 

  1. R2 Corrective Action report( CAR)
    1. Often, the R2 is a report showing everything has been cleared. If not, we will create additional slides in the R2 report identifying issues that need to be reviewed or addressed. The tooling designer will need to address these issues in the similar to the R1 report.
    2. Depending on the severity of the issues in the R2 report, T-SIM service may ask for a Confirmation of Changes or a full recheck simulation (additional cost may apply). 
  2. Video(s) If videos are needed for issues in the R2 they will be included but, typically, there are no videos in the R2 reports.
  3. Step File - If there is a Step file with your R2 deliverables, it likely means the automation has been updated from the R1 step file. Please replace the automation in your design with the CAD provided.

Press Setup Package: 

The Press Setup Package is a step-by-step guide for setup that is provided directly to the stamper. Many of our stampers include T-SIM is their standards, and we provide custom press setup sheets designed for their specific equipment and employee skillsets.
  1. Press Setup PDF (Steps 1-8 to setup a new tool)
    1. This package IS NOT typically provided to the build shops, they are sent directly to the stamper.
  2. Step File - The FINAL gripper selection and positions to be used for Automation Design
    1. This file should ALWAYS be added back into the final design! Failing to do so could result in collisions!

HLRO Support via phone or email 

We're here to support you every step of the way. Our launch support is included at no cost with new tooling transfer simulation services. For full details, visit our Launch Support page.

Want to take care of your own launch support like a Pro?

Check out our new CAD-Free PressOptimizer Pro software available for you!  This will allow you or your internal team to optimize and make adjustments to the recipe without any risk to your tooling (It does NOT require CAD or CATIA and is easy to use right at the press.
