The Manufacturing Principle of Progressive Cutting Die
Progressive die is a tool used for metal processing. The working principle of progressive cutting die mainly involves the sequential correlation of multiple workstations, to help to achieve a variety of manufacturing processes. In one stroke of the punching machine, the progressive die can complete a series of different stamping processes. The following are the main working principles to effectively respond to changes in requirements and complexity, and improve development efficiency and product quality.
- Draw Stamping Dies
Firstly, each processed part has different requirements and specifications, and the operator will draw a drawing of the stamping mold. The two parts of the stamping die are the upper die and the lower die. The upper die is fixed on the upper part of the press, and the lower die is fixed on the bed. The dies in the drawings are produced by machines as solid stamping dies.
- Preparation before Processing
Before conducting stamping processing, it is necessary to make some preparations. Firstly, select the corresponding materials required by the product according to its requirements, and then use a machine to cut them into pieces or strips of the required size. Next, place the required materials for the product in the die, which will help with the subsequent production.
- Start Processing
Put the stamping die containing metal sheets or strips into the press and start the machining process with the operation control system of the press. The pressure machine applies a certain amount of pressure to the stamping die to deform or cut metal materials under the action of the die.
- Deformation or Cutting
The design of the die determines the deformation or cutting method that metal materials will undergo. For example, if there is a punch in the die, the metal material will undergo plastic deformation under pressure and become the specified shape. If there is a cutting blade in the die, the metal material will be cut into the corresponding shape.
- Material Discharge and Cleaning
After the machine completes processing, the punching die will automatically separate and take out the finished product from the punching die. Then, the discharge system will discharge the product to the appropriate position and wait for further processing. At the same time, operators should clean the die immediately to remove any remaining metal shavings or dirt. Failure to clean it will have an impact on the next processing.
Through the above steps, stamping machines can efficiently produce the required products, and the products have the characteristics of high quality. Stamping technology is widely used in fields such as automotive manufacturing, home appliance manufacturing, and mechanical manufacturing due to its high efficiency, precision, and low cost.
