Progressive Dies

At Hobson & Motzer, we design and build ultra precision progressive dies used to produce components for tight-tolerance, quality-critical applications for  the medical, automotive, consumer, and aerospace industries. 
Most dies are built with:

• Insert construction with replaceable tooling components
  
• Guided punches and hardened punch holders
  
• Back-up pads
  
• Quick interchangeable sub-die sets for minimum down time  (depending on volume and application)
  
• Tools can be designed and built to hold punch and die clearances as close as.0002”per side for thin materials

Wide Range of Dies

From 3” x 3” to 30” x 60” we build precision progressive dies small or large. They are designed to your specifications, from low-cost consumable tools to precision high-speed carbide dies with in-die sensors to protect your valuable investment.

Wire EDM Machines

An essential step in meeting your needs is building tight-tolerance progressive stamping dies for critical applications and when required, custom prototypes.

• Our EDM machines are self-threading
• Use a wide range of wire diameters from .004” to .010”
• When combined with Espirit programming, can run 24 – hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week

Die Design

Our die design isn’t just good. It’s good and fast. We utilize 3-D modeling software and can import file formats including IGES, .dwg and .dxf to speed your die through design. The software is linked to production equipment in the tool room to download geometry for programming wire EDM and CNC machines. This provides seamless transfer of information and error-free manufacturing of your dies and components.  We design as much work into our dies as possible to minimize or eliminate secondary operations.

Spare Tooling

If you run dies in-house, we can design, build and provide spares for your in-house tooling.
Not only can we design and build your custom precision progressive die, we can debug it, test it and run it.
