Deep DrawTechnology Seminar

Get the tools you need to improve your production performance

FIVE PRESENTERS!

April 21-22, 2015 • Des Plaines, IL

OverviewUnderstand how sheetmetal strength and thickness, speed of forming, coatings, type of lubricant, surface temperature and hardness affect formability for a given part and tool design. • Selecting a suitable tool steel based on performance requirements or

failure modes • How properties of today’s higher-strength steels affect the deep

drawing process • Pros and cons of the new advanced higher-strength steels (AHSS) • Tooling design principles for deep drawing irregular shaped parts • Draw die and blankholder development • Troubleshooting and diagnosing tooling problems • Using computerized die tryout to make die build more efficient and

effective

Who should attend?This seminar is designed for those using single-station, progressive and transfer dies in hydraulic, mechanical and ser-vo-mechanical presses. • Die Designers • Product Designers • Press Operators • Engineers • Tool & Die Makers • Supervisors • Plant and Operations Managers • Quality Personnel

Stuart P. Keeler, President, Keeler Technologies LLCStuart Keeler’s five-decade career has been dedicated to bringing science to the press shop. Career highlights include his discovery of the forming limit diagram and the development of circle grid analysis. His metalforming experi-ence includes 24 years at National Steel Corp. in Detroit and 12 years at the ThyssenKruppBudd Technical Center – a large Tier One automotive body and chassis parts supplier conducting and managing sheetmetal formability research. For 14 years he taught a three-day semiannual course in Understanding Sheetmetal Formability at the University of Wisconsin Continuing Education Center in Milwaukee. For PMA, Stuart conducts a number of open seminars and in-plant training programs, and he is in his 16th year as the Science of Forming columnist for MetalForming maga-zine. For the last decade he has been Technical Editor and contributor for the five versions of AHSS Application Guidelines for WorldAutoSteel. Version 5.0 was released May 14, 2014.

Peter Ulintz, Anchor Manufacturing GroupPeter has worked in the metal stamping and tool and die industries since 1978. His background includes tool and die making, tool engineering, engineering management, advanced process

planning and product development. He has been speaking at PMA national seminars, roundtables and conferences since 1996, focusing on topics such as tool and die design, die maintenance, deep draw technology, metalforming simulation, building dies for high-strength steel stampings and solving problems in the press shop. Peter also is MetalForming magazine’s Tooling by Design columnist since 2006.

Gary Maddock, Zapp Tooling Alloys, Inc.Gary is the technical manager for Zapp Tooling Alloys. With more than 30 years of experience as a specialty-steel metallurgist, his expertise includes product metallurgy positions with Cruci-ble Steel and Carpenter as well as end-user, plant metallurgy positions with Dayton Progress and Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools. Gary also has spe-cialized in tool steel application engineering with firsthand experience relative to the heat treat-ment and thin film coating of high-performance tooling materials. He holds a BS in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

Darrell Quander, Sales & Product Manager, Press Solutions Business Segment, Hyson Darrell is responsible for global sales, product

support and growth strategies for advanced servo, hydraulic and nitrogen press cushions that can be installed on new and existing stamping presses to increase controllability and allow customers to fine tune their process. Darrell is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in addition to the International Fluid Power Society where he is a certified Fluid Power Hydraulic Spe-cialist. He also is an active member of the PMA. Darrell holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Mechan-ical Engineering from Tri-State University and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Baldwin Wallace University.

Jeff Jeffery, CEO, IRMCOWhile working with Arthur Dampts, chemical engineer extraordinaire, Jeff helped to develop the very first water-based deep drawing synthetic lubricant more than 30 years ago. Jeff also trade-marked the phrase “lean green” metal stamp-ing to help describe the connection between high-performance green lubricant technology and the positive impact on a manufacturer’s bottom line. He specializes in advanced and ultra-high-strength steel tribology, lean/green manufacturing and creative problem solving. The Chicago Sun-Times listed Jeff as one of Chicago’s top 5 “Best Bosses.”
