Automatic Feed offers both attached (or clamp up) oscillating dies and bump (or slap) dies. Customer needs and requirements will determine which will meet your operating needs.
Oscillating Attached Dies
Flexible Blanking Solutions
AFCO’s AC servo-driven oscillating dies turn a high-speed blanking line into a cut to length line in the time it takes to change a die. They allow you to optimize productivity while reducing floor space requirements of two individual lines. The die oscillates with each stroke, pivoting to cut both rectangular and trapezoidal blanks with reliable, repeatable precision.
Features
- AC servo-driven oscillating die technology
- Quickly converts a blanking line into a cut-to-length line
- Reduces the need for multiple dedicated production lines
- Optimizes floor space utilization
- Oscillates with each press stroke for precise cutting
- Produces both rectangular and trapezoidal blanks
- Reliable, repeatable cutting accuracy
- Supports high-speed blaning operations
- Improves production flexibility and efficiency

Oscillating Bump Dies
High-Speed Cutting Flexibility
The servo driven Bump Die, which oscillates on a lubricated air bearing +/- 35°, offers an alternative to the attached oscillating die. While generally rated at 55 SPM, the AFCO designed bump die has been operated at press speeds greater than 80 SPM. Blanks are cut when the press stroke causes the slide to bump the blade holder and compress die mounted springs. The lower fixed die section contains the blade holder and is mounted on the press bolster. This design allows quick die replacement for dies with straight or contoured cut shapes.
Features
- Servo-driven oscillating bump die design
- Operates on a lubricated air bearing with ±35° oscillation
- Capable of press speeds exceeding 80 SPM
- Converts press motion into precise blank cutting action
- Supports straight and contoured cut shapes
- Quick die replacement for reduced downtime
- Durable spring-loaded die system
- Reliable performance for high-speed blanking applications
- Designed for repeatable, efficient production
