1. Die Classifications
1.1 Manufacturing processes
blanking dies, punching dies,
bending dies, drawing dies, et al.
1. Die Classifications
1.3 Number of stations
Single station dies
Multi-station dies----progressive dies
Single station dies may be :
Combination (a die in which both cutting and
noncutting operations are accomplished at one
press stroke) or
Compound (a die in which two or more cutting
operations are accomplished at every press
stroke).
1. Die Classifications
Progressive dies are made with two or more
stations. Each station performs an operation
on the workpiece or provides an idler station
() so that the workpiece is completed
when the last operation has been
accomplished. After the first part has traveled
through all the stations, each subsequent
strokes()of the press produces another
finished part.
Whats different and common features
between progressive dies and compound
dies?

1. Introduction
A blanking die
Cheaper to make and faster in operation
return-blank die:sheared blank returns upword
drop-blank die
A punching die
May be manually or automatically fed
2. Die blocks
Construction component housing the opening
and receiving punches.
2.1 die opening profile
2.2 fastening to the die shoe
2.3 sectioned die
2.4 calculation of die block dimensions
2. Die blocks
2.1 die opening profile
a) gives the highest quality workpiece, the most expensive. blanking
parts having complex contours with greater accuracy.
b) making small parts with low accuracy.
c) the simplest,making relatively large parts.
d) to punch small-diame ter (d < 5 mm) holes.
2. Die blocks
2.2 fastening to the die shoe
a) socket head screws are inserted from the bottom
of the die shoe into threaded holes in the die
block.Dowels are used to prevent a shift in the
position of the block.
b) held in the retainer (has a shoulder)
c) pressed into the retainer (has no shoulder)
d) fastened into the retainer with a ball and screw
e) a bushing is used at the bottom

2.3 sectioned die
workpiece- large,
die opening - complicated,
contours - difficult to machine

3. Punches
Main consideration when design:
do not buckle;
be strong enough to withstand the stripping force;
not be able to rotate as a result of the cutting action.

4. Stripper plates
Solid stripper
The force of the press is used for stripping operation.
Elastic stripper
Usage:very accurate,
thin material,
thin punches.
How: hold the scrap strip in a
flat position before the punch
makes contact with the
workpiece.
