Different types of presses
Examples:
Solution:
Blanking die dimensions: the same as for the part in the figure:
L = 85 mm w = 50 mm t = 25 mm s = 25 mm
Solution:
Solution:
F = StL
L = πD = 75π = 75π mm
F=0.7Ts.tL
F= 0.7*450*2*75π
F= 148.440 kN
F = StL ≈ 0.7Ts.tL

Deep drawing
A cup is to be drawn in a deep drawing operation. The height of the cup
is 75 mm, and its inside diameter = 100 mm. The sheet metal thickness
= 2 mm. If the blank diameter = 225 mm, determine (a) drawing ratio,
(b) reduction, and (c) thickness-to-diameter ratio. (d) Does the operation
seem feasible?
Press Brake Bending
The sheet metal of thickness (t) is bent through a bend angle A. This results in a sheet metal part with an included angle A’, where A + A’ =
180°. The bend is made over the width (w) of the workpiece. The length of the neutral axis needs to be determined to account for stretching
of the final bend. This length is called the bend allowance and is estimated as follows:
Spring-back:
Tube Bending:
• Round tubing used for fuel lines, plumbing supplies, cooling and heating coils and car muffler requires bending.
• Both square and round tubing used for furniture may require bending.
• To form/bend this material, special tube-bending machines are available.
• N.C. tube-benders will, at command of the
punched tape, measure to length, bend to proper
angle, rotate the part if necessary, clamp,
measure and make the next bend and cut off
automatically.
Materials suitable for drawing:
• Low carbon steel
• Aluminium
• Copper Alloy
• Stainless steels
Lubrication:
• Lubricants or drawing compounds are used to reduce friction forces.
• Lubrication is necessary as sliding friction is great and pressure welding (galling) may occur.
• Lubricant may be brushed /sprayed on or sheets may be pre-lubricated.
• Lubricants used:
Oil, soap solution, grease, wax, moly disulfide and water – soluble oil
The tooling in the Guerin Process is made of a thick rubber pad, which is confined in a steel container.
As the ram descends, the rubber gradually surrounds the sheet, applying pressure to deform it to the
shape of the form block. The form block can be made of wood, plastics, or other materials that are easy
to shape. This type of tooling is relatively low-cost.
