Why are the references anonymised?

Die and fixture designs contain customer product know-how. Only material that does not reveal the client or the part function is published. Further examples are gladly shown in a personal conversation.

Are these in-house designs?

Yes. All dies, fixtures and assemblies shown were designed or reworked by Vogt Engineering & Consulting in Creo Parametric.

Can a similar project start at short notice?

Usually yes. After an initial feasibility assessment, normally within one to two working days, we can say when a project can be scheduled.

Projects

Projects, dies, fixtures and automation from real production

A selection of projects: progressive dies, stamping and forming dies, clamping and welding fixtures and compact automation, all engineered in Creo Parametric.

Project examples from tool and equipment design

The views show design states from real customer projects. Part names and details are reduced to what can be shown without revealing the client.

Project images on request

Most of our reference projects are confidential. We are happy to show design states, strip layouts and fixtures in person – on request and once the respective customer has approved it.

Request references

Further projects can be shown on request and after clearing them with the respective customer, including strip layouts, station sequences and drawing derivations.

Four project examples in detail

Task, solution and field of application, anonymised, but technically transparent.

Progressive die for a contact component

Task: A contact part from thin strip material had to be produced in high volume. Tight form and position tolerances, burr-free cut edges and stable strip travel across many stations were required.
Solution: Strip layout with optimised material utilisation, station sequence with clean piloting, stripper concept and accessible wear parts for short regrinding intervals. Fully engineered in Creo Parametric including bill of materials and drawings.
Industries: Electrical and contact technology

Progressive dies

Strip layout and feasibility review

Task: Before awarding the die, the customer needed clarity on whether a formed part could be produced reliably with the available press and sheet thickness.
Solution: Assessment of formability, station count and forces, two layout variants with different station counts and a clear recommendation including the impact on die cost and material consumption.
Industries: Automotive and supplier industry

Stamping & forming dies

Welding and clamping fixture for an assembly

Task: A multi-part welded assembly distorted during joining; manual positioning was not reproducible.
Solution: Fixture based on the 3-2-1 principle with defined locators, pneumatic clamps and free access to the weld seams. Low-distortion clamping sequence and exchangeable locators for part variants.
Industries: Mechanical and plant engineering

Jigs & fixtures

Compact automation on an existing line

Task: A manual handling and inspection step permanently tied up an operator and limited the cycle time of the line.
Solution: Semi-automated station with feeding, defined part transfer and integrated presence and position checking, built from standard components instead of a special-purpose machine, keeping maintenance and spare parts manageable.
Industries: Series production, assembly

Automation & special machines

Confidentiality

A large share of our projects runs under a non-disclosure agreement. We therefore show designs technically, but without customer names, end products or conclusions about specific applications. Your data is treated the same way: NDA before the first data set, no disclosure to third parties, filing according to your requirements.
