Frequently asked questions
Who should use this pre-run inspection template?
It is designed for die stamping teams, setup technicians, and supervisors who need a consistent pre-start check. Use it before each run to confirm the press, die, material, and safety systems are ready.
What does this template help prevent?
It helps catch incorrect tonnage, shut height issues, guarding gaps, and feed alignment problems before production begins. That can reduce downtime, scrap, and operator exposure to hazards.
Can this be adapted for different presses or jobs?
Yes. You can update the checklist items to match specific press models, tooling requirements, and job specs. It works as a starting point for both manual and automated stamping lines.
Does this template include safety checks?
Yes. It includes verification for feed line guards, point-of-operation guarding, emergency stops, and safety interlocks. These checks help confirm the line is safe to run before sign-off.
How is sign-off handled?
The template includes a final pre-run sign-off section for completion, issue escalation, and inspector signature. That creates a clear record that the setup was reviewed before production started.
