4Sheetmetalformingandblanking

4.1Principlesofdiemanufacture

4.1.1Classificationofdies

Inmetalforming,thegeometryoftheworkpieceisestablishedentirelyorpartiallybythegeometryofthedie.Incontrasttomachiningprocesses,ignificantlygreaterforcesarenecessaryinforming.Duetothecomplexityoftheparts,formingisoftennotcarriedoutinasingleoperation.Dependingonthegeometryofthepart,productioniscarriedoutinseveraloperationalstepsviaoneorseveralproductionprocessessuchasformingorblanking.Oneoperationcanalsoincludeseveralprocessessimultaneously（cf.Sect.2.1.4）.

Duringthedesignphase,thenecessarymanufacturingmethodsaswellasthesequenceandnumberofproductionstepsareestablishedinaprocessingplan（Fig.4.1.1）.Inthisplan,theavailabilityofmachines,theplannedproductionvolumesofthepartandotherboundaryconditionsaretakenintoaccount.

Typesofdies

Thetypeofdieandthecloselyrelatedtransportationofthepartbetweendiesisdeterminedinaccordancewiththeformingprocedure,thesizeofthepartinquestionandtheproductionvolumeofpartstobeproduced.

Largesizesinglediesareinstalledinlargepresses.Thetransportationofthepartsfromoneformingstationtoanotheriscarriedoutmechanically.Inapresslinewithsinglepressesinstalledonebehindtheother,feedersorrobotscanbeused（cf.Fig.4.4.20to4.4.22）,whilstinlarge-paneltransferpresses,systemsequippedwithgripperrails（cf.Fig.4.4.29）orcrossbarsuctionsystems（cf.Fig.4.4.34）areusedtotransfertheparts.

Transferdiesareusedfortheproductionofhighvolumesofsmallerandmediumsizeparts（Fig.4.1.2）.Theyconsistofseveralsingledies,whicharemountedonacommonbaseplate.Thesheetmetalisfedthroughmostlyinblankformandalsotransportedindividuallyfromdietodie.Ifthisparttransportationisautomated,thepressiscalledatransferpress.Thelargesttransferdiesareusedtogetherwithsinglediesinlarge-paneltransferpresses（cf.Fig.4.4.32）.

Inprogressivedies,alsoknownasprogressiveblankingdies,sheetmetalpartsareblankedinseveralstages;generallyspeakingnoactualformingoperationtakesplace.Thesheetmetalisfedfromacoilorintheformofmetalstrips.Usinganappropriatearrangementoftheblankswithintheavailablewidthofthesheetmetal,anoptimalmaterialusageisensured（cf.Fig.4.5.2to4.5.5）.Theworkpieceremainsfixedtothestripskeletonupuntilthela
