Abstract
A method for texturizing a workpiece uses a die assembly installed within a press having a press ram. The method includes (a) delivering the workpiece onto a center die plate; (b) forcing the press ram against an upper die plate mounted above the center die plate to descend a first contact surface associated with the upper die plate and a plurality of blades mounted to the upper die plate toward the center die plate; (c) actuating horizontal movement of the blades; (d) driving the blades down into the workpiece; and (e) contacting the first contact surface to a second contact surface associated with the center die plate to descend the center die plate in unison with the upper die plate.
