Custom Die Sets
Our technical competence, rooted in years of experience, and our state of the art Engineering & Design equipment and software, allow us to work with you to design and develop die sets to your specifications.
Turnaround time is based on our customersā requirement and dependent on the size, complexity and type of die set.
Custom die set specifications differ with each order and typically include the size of the die set, the location of the pins, the thickness of the steel, the type of bushings and the special machining required. Our die set engineering department reviews each customer drawing prior to manufacture.
Anchor Danly builds a full range of custom die sets from the smallest to very large die sets measuring 120 inches x 360 inches (3000 mm x 9000 mm). Turn-around time for custom die set manufacture is approximately two to six weeks depending on size and complexity of the die set.

Aluminum Die Sets
Any die set offered by Anchor Danly in steel can also be manufactured from aluminum.
Aluminum die sets weigh approximately one-third as much as an identical size steel die set, thus reducing press wear. They are easier to handle, transport and store. When made with ball bearing components, these are available and are ideally suited for high speed, high precision applications. Aluminum die sets are often used when stamping precision components for the electronic and canning industries.
Aluminum die sets, in conjunction with ball bearing components, provide a lightweight, highly accurate guidance system. Ball bearing components under preload have superior guidance when compared with plain bearing componentsā clearance fits.
