Overview of Press Tool Design used for Sheet Metal Processes with Design Considerations
Nilesh N. Patil, Wasim I Shaikh
Abstract: Sheet metals are generally related with cutting as well as forming operations. Mostly, the thickness of sheet metal is between inch and 1/64 inch. There are different types of metal forming operations are Bending, Shearing, Blanking, Punching, Stamping etc. For such type of applications of the material selection is major parameter. The raw material for sheet metal manufacturing processes is the output of the rolling process. Typically, sheets of metal are in the fort of flat, rectangular sheets of standard size. If the sheets are thin and very long, they may be in the form of rolls. So, by using various press tool designs and dies the complex designs of sheet metals are achieved. Punching is the most cost effective process of making holes in strip or sheet metal for average to high fabrication. It is able to create multiple shaped holes.
Keywords: press tool designs, sheet metal operations
