The AIDA six point flat slide guides are found on the NC1 and NC2 Models. These guides are designed with extra length and surface area to provide the greatest possible resistance to slide tipping caused by off-center loading in the die. Guide clearance is set and maintained using full-length shims both right to left and front to back. This requires less maintenance than other press manufacture's setting system, which uses small screws to control the clearance.
The AIDA 8-point slide guides are found on the SMX and PMX models. The 8-point slide guides have very small clearance and are contained within the press column, providing the ultimate resistance to lateral slide motion in a large progressive die press.
