PDG Punch & Die Grinder Update
Return to Press Releases Main

Winona, MN DCM Tech, Corp. designer and manufacturer of Rotary Surface Grinders for over twenty years, offers the Model PDG, Punch and Die Grinder, for resurfacing turret press tooling. Standard center mounted rotary fixturing holds punches and dies up to 6" in diameter with fixture enhancements available to sharpen dies up to 8". The punch fixturing allows sharpening of straight as well as shear angle punches with up to 10 degrees pitch. The 5 hp vertical spindle motor has power necessary to rapidly process large diameter dies and features through spindle and external coolant flow to keep parts cool. The specially compounded CBN superabrasive grinding wheel is free cutting even on the toughest of materials without special dressing. Hundreds of parts can be processed, making the DCM superabrasive wheel efficient and economical.

The PDG is easy to use: the operator installs the tool in the rotary fixture, positions the grinding wheel in proximity to the tool using the "Tool Finder" indicator, sets the desired stock removal and starts the autofeed grinding cycle. The PDG does the rest freeing the operator to perform other functions. The compact footprint of 42" x 48" and semi-automatic operation make the PDG an ideal addition to any turret press manufacturing cell, allowing a press operator to both utilize and maintain tooling.
