Pride's Air Bearing Die Grinder Rounds Dies For Longer Life

Accuracy and roundness are essential to grinding long-lasting dies. Only air bearings can produce perfect roundness. The closer to round a die can be ground the longer it stays in the bodymaker before it needs to be changed. That means you experience less regrinding, less downtime and higher quality cans. More accurate grinding also means better sidewall control and better cans.

Sophisticated Operations. Simple To Use.
Step one: Fill in the Windows fields with the print dimensions.  Step two: enter the desired die size. Step three: press cycle start. Hard to imagine, but using the Pride Air Bearing Die Grinder really is that simple. The system is automatically programmed to position the die over the pivot point, find zero, start grinding and create long-lasting dies with accurate roundness, requiring minimal manual operations.
