Solid Milled Clicker Dies

A Solid Milled Clicker Die is a very accurate, strong cutting die that produces close tolerance precision parts. Solid Milled Clicker Dies are designed in CAD on the computer and machined with our Wire EDM and or milled on our CNC machining center.

Common materials cut with Solid Milled Clicker Dies would include:

 Standard Clicker Dies

Standard Clicker dies are an excellent choice for many cutting applications of soft to semi rigid materials. They are produced with a forge bent, and welded blade and heat treated to suit the application and material.

Common materials cut with Clicker Dies would include:

Singulation & Depaneling Dies for PCB's

Pioneer-Dietecs Corporation is pleased to offer a complete line of USA manufactured Singulation & Depaneling die sets for close tolerance trimming of printed circuit boards requiring close tolerance registration. 

Singulation and Depaneling Dies can safely singulate within ½ mm of ceramic components and fine trace lines with no stress or strain to adversely affect delicate PCB’s, semiconductors or  other delicate applications. Works equally well on skip-tab-routed or v-scored arrays. The secret is that the boards are simultaneously captured by knife-edged blades from the top and bottom, so all the forces are directed between the blade tips. The result is Stress Free Singulating. The standard die sizes are 219 x 336 mm,  318  x 380 mm and are available up to 635 x 660 mm. Dies can be changed in thirty seconds by the operator.

Steel Rule Dies

A Steel Rule Die has a bent piece of steel rule cutting blade embedded in a laser produced die board. Depending on the nature of your cutting applications, many blade and board types are available to achieve a large range of cutting results.

Common materials cut with Steel Rule Dies would include:

Solid Milled Punch Dies

Solid Milled Punch Dies cut many materials and can be used either individually or as inserts into larger cutting dies. These dies are machined from a single piece of tool steel with no welds. These dies are excellent for producing either small accurate parts or building complex details into larger cutting dies.

Mallet Handle Dies

A Mallet Handle Die is basically a conventional cutting die with a handle welded or fastened to it.  The cutter holds the die in one hand and strikes the handle of the die with a rawhide mallet held in the other hand forcing the die through the material to be cut without the use of a die cutting press. This is the oldest method of die cutting that is still used today in situations where production does not warrant the purchase of a cutting press or large quantities of parts to be cut.

Common materials cut with Mallet Handle Dies would include:

Specialty, Combination & Hybrid Dies

Specialty, Combination and Hybrid Cutting Dies are built and used in situations where the requirements for the parts to be cut include conditions and applications where components from two or more of the die types listed above need to be incorporated into one cutting die. For example the die to the left has an EDM produced solid cutting blade with no welds that is placed into a piece of Rayform used as the support for a steel rule die. At Pioneer Dietecs, our many years of die making and die cutting have given us the experience to effectively combine the best aspects of many parts of industry technology into hybrid tooling that exactly meets the needs of your most demanding applications.
