Abstract:
A progressive die is a set of tools performing series or several sheet-metal operations with a single tool. It
has two or more workstations for the production of products. Every pressing stroke involves one operation,
and the strip stock advances through the die strip. The main functional advantage of progressive die
for the manufacturing industry is that it takes less time and gives a high volume of production. It can
build precision tools with less time-consumption. The main task is to design a die for one of the parts
of a relay product called G2R-1 Station Terminal A. The process of making this part is ineffective and
uncomfortable under these conditions because it must go through three different stages of the process,
which is a waste of time. This study discusses the design using the progressive die concept from
Excess Hybrid or the CADD application as the initial sketch and Solid work as the visualization to achieve
cost effectiveness and shorten the production process time. The result of total cost saving is 528,200,151
IDR per year.
