How the presses that make stamped sheet metal parts are set up and operate. This is about a "medium" part size operation. Larger parts require larger presses and dies.

Dad was a pretty sharp dude. He could trouble shoot a malfunctioning industrial machine, tear it down and make the parts to fix it. He stood in absolute awe of the dudes that could trouble shoot and fine tune the progressive dies. He understood how they worked, but never developed the ability to look at a defective part and determine the problem.
At the time of my retirement, robotic loaders/unloaders had progressed to the point the I was seeing lines of a half dozen "small" die stampers that could turn rolls of steel into complex parts like automotive subframes. A fascinating thing to watch, parts offloaded from one machine directly into a second. Very cool, to see almost junker small machines do the job of a huge billion dollar state of the art machine.
