Study Notes
Stamping Press
- A stamping press consists of a die set and a punch, used for blanking and punching operations.
- The process involves placing a strip of metal between the die and punch, and then the punch forces the metal into the die to create the desired shape.
Progressive Die
- A progressive die is a type of die that is used to perform multiple operations in a single press stroke.
- It is used to make complex parts, such as washers, by performing a series of operations in a predetermined sequence.
Mechanical Drive Stamping Press
- Mechanical drive stamping presses convert the rotation of a motor into linear motion of the ram.
- They are suited for blanking and punching operations.
- They produce high forces at the bottom of the stroke.
Hydraulic Drive Stamping Press
- Hydraulic drive stamping presses use a large piston and cylinder to drive the ram.
- They are suited for deep drawing operations.
- They have a longer ram stroke than mechanical drives and are slower than mechanical drives.
Bending
- Bending is a process that involves straining sheet metal around a straight axis to take a permanent bend.
- It can be performed using a V-die or a wiping die.
V-Bending
- V-bending is a type of bending performed with a V-shaped die.
- It is suited for low production and is performed on a press brake.
- V-dies are simple and inexpensive.
Edge Bending
- Edge bending is a type of bending performed with a wiping die.
- It is suited for high production and requires a pressure pad.
- Edge bending dies are more complicated and costly.
Springback
- Springback is the increase in included angle of a bent part relative to the included angle of the forming tool after the tool is removed.
- It occurs due to the elastic energy remaining in the bent part, causing it to recover partially towards its original shape.
Deep Drawing
- Deep drawing is a process that involves forming sheet metal into cup-shaped, box-shaped, or other complex-curved, hollow-shaped parts.
- A sheet metal blank is positioned over a die cavity and then a punch pushes the metal into the opening.
- It is also known as drawing.
Clearance in Drawing
- Clearance in drawing is the distance between the sides of the punch and die, and is given by c = 1.1t, where t is the stock thickness.
Blank Size Determination
- Blank size determination involves calculating the size of the blank required for a deep drawing operation.
Drawing Force Calculation
- Drawing force calculation involves calculating the force required to perform a deep drawing operation.
Sheet Metal Cutting
- Sheet metal cutting is a process that involves shearing of sheet metal between two cutting edges.
Shearing
- Shearing is a sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between two cutting edges.
- It is typically used to cut large sheets.
Blanking and Punching
- Blanking is a sheet metal cutting operation that separates a piece (called a blank) from surrounding stock.
- Punching is similar to blanking, except the cut piece is scrap, called a slug.
