Die Safety Blocks, for stamping presses - need source ...
(OP)
Greetings,
We need a source for DIE-SAFETY-BLOCKS (preferably Magnesium).
I have attached an image of what we are looking for.
For decades we have provided magnesium die-safety-blocks with the equipment that we sell. We used to source these from Magliner and then they discontinued them. We switched to the Magblox brand - and now they are planning to discontinue them also.
I am assuming that almost all users of stamping presses must use these blocks when performing die maintenance - so there should be a source (or sources for these). Any references to companies who produce and/or sell these blocks would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve AG

We though that this forum might give us a bit more focused result than a general Google search. Ouur purchasing folks did search on Google and nothing jumped out at them. I didn't do that yet, myself.
Making them isn't what we really want to do. There are some certifications, liabilities, etc. associated with making something like this (as there are with any product) - but these - having the specific purpose of a safety item - would have unique requirements that way. Besides the fact that we don;t typically machine magnesium - we are also very focused in our manufacturing - concentrating on high-precision, high value-added items. We can't really afford the spindle-time to make items in this class. So making something like this - when it can probably be purchased - makes more sense in our case.
Thanks again,
Steve

Aluminium and Oak Die safety blocks have been used for years.

I have seen similar gizmos made of steel and permannently attached to the press frame. Mounting was on a vertical rotation axis so the column swung out of the press throat when not in use, swung into the press throat when deployed. Clever: always there when needed.
