COUNTERMEASURES FOR SLUG PULLING IN PUNCHING PROCESS

One of the problems that occur when punching with an NC turret punch press is slug pulling.
It is generally said that slug pulling are round or simple in shape and often occur when the thick plate is thin.
This chapter summarized some measures, including slug catcher die, for this slug pulling.

■ Mechanism of slug pulling

A. Vacuum adsorption
B. Oil film adsorption Punch Pressure to punch edge
due to burrs
C. Magnetic adsorption
D. Cutting edge pressure bonding by burrs etc. Oil Slick
Die Adsorption

Slug Vacuum Adsorption

■ Countermeasures for slug pulling


Slug Catcher Die (Standard specification)
Catch the slug to prevent slug pulling.

① Material is cut ② The slug is compressed


Punch off at [A] part. Punch in the process of
punching at [B] part.

Die Die


Slug

③ Drags the slug ④ [B] part is narrower


Punch through the relief. than [C] part so the
slug cannot comes up.

COUNTERMEASURES FOR SLUG PULLING IN PUNCHING PROCESS

COUNTERMEASURE FOR UPPER DIE (PUNCH SIDE)


1) ADUSTING UPPER TOOLING HEIGHT 2)SLUG EJECTOR (STANDARD SPECIFICATION)
Insert punch edge deeply to inside the die to push The slug ejector attached to the cutting edge of thepunch

3)COMPRESSED AIR 4)SHEAR ANGLE


The compressed air is discharged directly from the By attaching a shear angle to the cutting edge of the punch,

OTHER MEASURES
1. Do not use the processing oil.

2. Use with an appropriate clearance.
3. Do enough demagnetizing.
We recommend that you try these methods individually or in combination, depending on the material,
thickness and punched form of the workpiece.
