FIRST IN EXTRUSION TOOLING

Crosshead Replacement Calculator

If you are seeing the signs of crosshead wear, particularly leakage and scrap, you may be wondering if it's time for new tooling. Our Crosshead Replacement Calculator helps you determine if an investment in a new crosshead is a smart business decision.

Tip and Die Cost Calculator

What does cheap tooling really cost? If you've purchased inexpensive, low quality tip and die sets to save money, your operating costs may have increased significantly. Use our Tip and Die Cost Calculator to determine the true life cycle cost of your tip and die sets including:

• The real cost of downtime caused by cheap tip and die sets
• The full cost of leakage and scrap that results from loose tolerances and sudden wear
• The hidden cost of tip and die defects, extra inspection and troubleshooting

Extrusion Analysis

Two additional calculators are provided - a DDR/DRB Calculator for calculating Draw Down Ratios and Balances, and a Tooling Calculator for calculating Die and Tip sizes. Enter the four required values, and the other two values are calculated. Previous results are saved and redisplayed each time you calculate a new solution so you can easily make adjustments and "fine tune" your solution.
