PRESS WORKING TERMINOLOGY
PRESS • A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a workpiece by the application of pressure. • Press tools are commonly used in Hydraulic press Pneumatic press Mechanical presses • to produce components at a high productivity rate. • Generally press tools are categorized by the types of operation performed using the tool, such as • blanking • piercing • bending • forming • forging • trimming etc. • The press tool will also be specified as blanking tool, piercing tool, bending tool etc. Press Working : • Press working may be defined as, a manufacturing process by which various components are made from sheet metal.
• This process is also termed as cold stamping.
• machine used for press working is called a
press. • PRESS ACCESSORIES
• Dies • Platen option • Power unit • Hydraulic unit • Floor stands • Safety shields • Dies polished plates evacuable pallet dies test cylinder outfits (TCO's) filter pads die plate kits and more. Platen option to meet the specific demands of your application. • Power units convert hand operated presses to automatic operation with power units. • Hydraulic unit contain hydraulic oil, seals, gaskets, pins, fittings, valve parts and instructions needed to rebuild the unit.
• Floor stands suitable for bench press models Includes enclosed floor stands for 2 and 4 column presses, floor stands with casters for 2 and 4 column presses and press stands for Auto Series presses. • Safety shields commended for use on all presses. to protect operator from objects which might fly from the compression area. Hinged front access door is clear, shatterproof polycarbonate. • 1: Bed: Lower part of the press frame serves as a table to which a Bolster plate is mounted.
2: Bolster Plate: Used for locating and supporting the die assembly 5 to 12.5 cm thick.
3: Die Set: It is unit assembly which incorporates : lower and upper shoe two or more guide parts guide part bushings. 4: Die Block: Block or a plate which contains a die cavity.
5: Lower Shoe: Mounted on the bolster plate of a press The die block and the guide post are mounted on it.
6: Punch : Directly or indirectly moved by and fastened to the press ram or slide 7: Upper Shoe: upper part of the die set which contains guide post bushings.
8: Punch Plate : Also known as punch retainer Fits closely over the body of the punch and holds it in proper relative position.
9: Back up Plate: Also known as pressure plate To control the intensity of pressure on punch holder. It distributes the pressure over a wide area. 10: Stripper: Plate which is used to strip the metal strip from cutting a non-cutting Punch or die. To guide the sheet.
11:Knock Out: Knock out mechanism is used to erase the workpiece from a die. It is connected to and operated through the press ram.
12:Pitman Pitman is a connecting rod that is used to transmit the motion from the major drive shaft to the press slide. Press working • Cutting operation: operations • In cutting operations the work piece is stressed by its ultimate strength. The stresses caused in the metal the applied forces will be shear stresses. The cutting operations include: • (a) Blanking • (b) Punching • (c) Notching • (d) Perforating • (e) Slitting • Forming operation: • In forming operations , the stresses are below the ultimate strength of the metal , in this operation , there is no cutting of the metal but only the contour of the work piece is changed to get the desired product. • The forming operations include: • (a) Bending • (b) Drawing • (c) Squeezing THANK YOU
