Compound die
In these dies, two or more operations may be
performed at one station. Such dies are
considered as cutting tools since, only cutting
operations are carried out.
Combination die
In this die also , more than one operation may be performed at one
station. It is different from compound die in that in this die, a cutting
operation is combined with a bending or drawing operation, due to that it
is called combination die.
Progressive Die
• A progressive has a series of operations. At each station , an
operation is performed on a work piece during a stroke of the
press.
Deep Drawing
• Deep drawing is a metal forming process in which
sheet metal is stretched into the desired shape. A
tool pushes downward on the sheet metal, forcing it
into a die cavity in the shape of the desired part.
In deep drawing, as a first step, a cup is produced from the flat blank. This cup can
then be further processed, for example by an additional drawing, reverse drawing,
ironing or extrusion process.
In all deep drawing processes, the pressing force is applied over the draw punch
onto the bottom surface of the drawn part.
It is further transferred from there to the perimeter in the deformation zone,
between the die and the blank holder.
• Deep drawing with rigid tooling, involving
draw punches, a blank holder and a female
die. The blank is generally pulled over the
draw punch into the die, the blank holder
prevents any wrinkling taking place in the
flange.
