STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED WHILE

DESIGNING PRESS TOOL.

Study of data :
* Component drawing, configuration, material, size and accuracy
* Operation needed.
* Function of the stamping.
* Incorporation of changes if necessary in consultation with the
product designers for economical reasons and for feasibility
for press working.
* Total production quantity and batch production.
Sequence of operation and press capacity requirement.
Economical strip layout.

INTRODUCTION
PROGRESSIVE BENDING TOOL:
A tool which performs a sequence of cutting and bending
operation at successive stations is called a progressive bending tool.
CUTTING OPERATION:
Piercing
Blanking
Trimming
Notching
Cutting off
Parting off
NONCUTTING OPERATION:
BENDING
FORMING
DRAWING
FLANGING

CUTTING OPERATIONS:
CLERANCE PER SIDE = 0.005STmax
S = Sheet thickness
T max = shear stress in kg/mm
=.005 * 1 * 40
=0.03 mm

(mm)

CUTTING FORCE / SHEAR FORCE

F = SLT
(N)
F- Blanking/Piercing force (N)
S-Shear strength of material
L-sheared length
T-material thickness (mm)
=400 *208 *1
=83200 N
=8.489 TONS
=10
TONS (approx. for safety side)

DIE PLATE THICKNESS

= (f.sh)^1/3
= (10)^1/3
= 2.154 cm
= 24 mm

(safer side)
STRIPPER PLATE THICKNESS= 0.75*DIE PLATE THICKNESS
=18mm
TOP PLATE THICKNESS
=1.5*DIE PLATE THICKNESS
=36mm
BOTTOM PLATE THICKNESS =2* DIE PLATE THICKNESS
=48mm
PUNCH HOLDER PLATE
=0.5* DIE PLATE THICKNESS
=12mm

ECONOMY FACTOR-(In %)

Scrap Bridge= 1.2*Sheet Thickness=1.2mm

Bending:
Formula for length at bend :
Circumference At The Neutral Axis
Portion Of Circumference Used
Length Of Bend

= 2(r+0.4t)
= Degree of bend/360
= degree of bend * 2(r+0.4t)
360
=90 *2*3.14 *(.175 +0.4*1)
360
=0.4516 mm (FOR DOWNWARD BENDING)
=90* 2 *3.14 (.3 +.4 *1)
360
=0.55 mm (FOR UPWARD BENDING)

Bending force (wiping die) = 0.333*s*w*t^2

L
= 0.33* *400* 9 *1*1
2
= 494 N
FOR BOTH SIDES
(DOWNWARD)

= 2* 494= 988 N

FOR UPWARD BENDING:

= 0.333*s*w*t^2
L
= 0.333*400*6*2
