DTC Products’ SlugKeeper slug retention machine stops slug pulling in stamping dies

DTC Products has introduced its newly upgraded SlugKeeper slug retention machine, now featuring a microscope and tablet with display.
The device uses a pneumatically powered grinder to machine a small, angled groove into the side wall of the die cavity in a stamping die to prevent slugs from pulling onto the die surface, where they can damage the production strip, the stamped part, or the stamping die.
The machine has one thumb screw for quick adjustment of the grinder height, a plunger-style grinder head assembly, and a grinder head adjustable-depth stop to control the grinder’s depth into the die cavity.
The grinder assembly is adjustable to three height positions, each ½ in. apart, and features flex lights that the operator can position to see clearly into the cavity.
