Big News from AW Precision Limited – Introducing SlugKeeper to the UK Market
We’re thrilled to announce that we are now able to offer the SlugKeeper™ Slug Retention Machine in the UK – a truly game-changing solution for stampers and die shops looking to drive greater efficiency, protect tooling, and reduce unplanned downtime.
What makes SlugKeeper special?
This clever, compact machine precisely machines small, angled grooves directly into die cavities to prevent slugs (scrap) from pulling back onto the die surface during stamping operations – eliminating one of the most common and costly causes of die damage, strip scarring, part defects, and lost production.
🛠️ Designed for today’s fast-paced manufacturing floors:
• Portable and easy to use – set up in under five minutes
• Magnetic base and lightweight design for in-press or toolroom use
• Works with a wide range of materials and die styles
• Reduces downtime and costly maintenance by stopping slug pulling at the source
💬 Our industry partners in the US at DTC Products Incorporated have seen dramatic reductions in scrap pulling issues, increased confidence in die uptime, and real cost savings.
📍 Come and see SlugKeeper live at MACH2026 at the The NEC, Birmingham!
We’ll be showcasing this brilliant addition to our tooling and maintenance portfolio, and we’d love to explain how it can make a measurable difference to your processes. Swing by, say hello, and let’s talk about elevating your stamping performance.
