Die sets can be an integral part of machining and analysis, and can range in size as well as complexity. You can use some die sets in transmission analysis in IR spectroscopy and others in powered presses. Each die set is accurate and precise.

A die sets list would be very lengthy. Instead, die sets information will be broken down into die sets that are 32 mm or less in size, larger die sets and powered die sets. You’ll also find information about more than one die sets provider. With this information, finding the right die set for your company will be easier.

1. Use small die sets for analysis.

2. Choose larger die sets for larger jobs.

3. Pick powered die sets for the largest applications.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use the smallest die sets for detailed analysis

The small aperture is useful in examining small particles. These die sets serve you well in the laboratory, as well as help you achieve the results you require.

I recommend: Two companies that manufacturer and distribute pellet dies are International Crystal and Buck Scientific. Their die-sets range from 3mm to 40mm and are precision machined. Because the die sets have vacuum pumps, any moisture can evacuate from the sample before you analyze it.

Pick larger die sets for larger jobs

Larger die sets have the precision and power you need. Larger die sets can be iron and include ball bearings. Other die sets in this range also come with storage boxes for easy portability.

I recommend: You can use some of the die sets manually as well as with a pneumatic press. Manufacturers and distributors of these presses include Daniels Manufacturing, Precision Brand Products and Jaw Manufacturing Company.

Pick powered die sets for even larger applications

Pneumatic presses give you the power you need for your die sets that manual presses cannot provide.

I recommend: Two companies of many who produce and distribute power die sets are Janesville Tool and Manufacturing and Automated Industrial Machine. Both companies have power die sets that work well in applications such as fabrication, stamping and assembly. Their power die sets have options for the shank diameters as well as guide pin lengths.

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Die sets can range in extremes from exact scientific analysis to fabrication. While each is precision-made, their applications as not necessarily interchangeable. Don't hesitate to use the customer service or sales department to narrow down your search.
