    The document discusses different types of press tools used in manufacturing. It describes blanking tools, which cut flat shapes from sheet metal in a single stroke. Piercing tools cut clean holes by shearing sheet metal. Cutoff tools cut strips of sheet metal to length. Other tools include parting, trimming, bending, forming, drawing, and progressive tools, which perform multiple operations to shape a workpiece. Press tools are classified based on the operation they perform and have components like punches, dies, and guides to precisely shape materials.

    The key takeaways are the different types of press tools like blanking, piercing, bending, forming, etc. and their uses in metal forming processes.

    The different types of press tools discussed are blanking, piercing, cutoff, trimming, bending, forming, drawing, progressive, compound and combination tools.

    The main components of a general press tool construction are the shank, top plate, punch back plate, punch holder, punches, die plate, die back plate, guide pillar, guide bush, bottom plate, stripper plate and strip guides.

    Types of press tools

    Types of press tools


    Press tools are commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical presses to produce components at high
    volumes. Generally press tools are categorized by the types of operation performed using the tool, such as blanking,
    piercing, bending, forming, forging, trimming etc. The press tool will also be specified as a blanking tool, piercing
    tool, bending tool etc.[1]

    Classification of press tools


    Blanking tool
    When a component is produced with one
    single punch and die where the entire outer
    profile is cut in a single stroke the tool is
    called a blanking tool.
    Blanking is the operation of cutting flat
    shapes from sheet metal.
    The outer area of metal remaining after a
    Blanking Tool
    blanking operation is generally discarded as
    waste.
    Size of blank or product is the size of the die & clearance is given on punch.
    It is a metal cutting operation.

    Piercing Tool
    Piercing involves cutting of clean holes with a
    resulting scrap slug. The operation is called die
    cutting and can also produce flat components
    where the die, the shaped tool, is pressed into a
    sheet material employing a shearing action to cut
    holes. This method can be used to cut parts of
    different sizes and shapes in sheet metal, leather
    and many other materials.
    Piercing tool

    Cut off tool


    Cut off operations are those in which a strip of
    suitable width is cut to length in a single
    operation. Cut-off tools can produce many parts.
    The required length of strip can be cut off for
    bending and forming operations using this tool.

    Cutoff tool

    Types of press tools

    Parting off tool


    Partings are similar, in that a discrete part is cut from a sheet or strip of metal along a desired geometric path. The
    difference between a cutoff and a parting is that a cutoff can be nestled perfectly on the sheet metal, due to its
    geometry. With cutoffs, the cutting of sheet metal can be done over one path at a time and there is practically no
    waste of material. With partings, the shape can not be nestled precisely. Partings involve cutting the sheet metal
    along two paths simultaneously. Partings waste a certain amount of material, that can be significant.

    Trimming tool
    When cups and shells are drawn from flat sheet metal the edge is left wavy and irregular, due to uneven flow of
    metal. This irregular edge is trimmed in a trimming die. Shown is flanged shell, as well as the trimmed ring removed
    from around the edge. While a small amount of Material is removed from the side of a component in trimming tool.

    Shaving tool
    Shaving removes a small amount of material
    around the edges of a previously blanked
    stampings or piercing. A straight, smooth edge is
    provided and therefore shaving is frequently
    performed on instrument parts, watch and clock
    parts and the like. Shaving is accomplished in
    shaving tools especially designed for the
    purpose.

    Trimming Tool

    Bending tool
    Bending tools apply simple bends to stampings. A simple bend is done in which the line of the bend is straight. One
    or more bends may be involved, and bending tools are a large important class of press tools.

    Forming tool
    Forming tools apply more complex forms to
    work pieces. The line of bend is curved instead
    of straight and the metal is subjected to plastic
    flow or deformation.

    Drawing tool
    Drawing tools transform flat sheets of metal into
    cups, shells or other drawn shapes by subjecting
    the material to severe plastic deformation.
    Shown in fig is a rather deep shell that has been drawn from a flat sheet.

    Bending Tool

    Types of press tools

    This type of Press tool is used to perform only


    one particular operation therefore classified
    under stage tools.

    Progressive tool
    A progressive tool differs from a stage tool in
    the following respect: in a progressive tool the
    final component is obtained by progressing the
    sheet metal or strip in more than one stage. At
    each stage the tool will progressively shape the
    component towards its final shape, with the final
    stage normally being cutting-off.

    Drawing Tool

    Compound tool
    The compound tool differs from progressive and stage tools by the arrangement of the punch and die. It is an
    inverted tool where blanking and piercing takes place in a single stage and also the blanking punch will act as the
    piercing die.

    Combination tool
    In a combination tool two or more operations such as bending and trimming will be performed simultaneously. Two
    or more operations such as forming, drawing, extruding, embossing may be combined on the component with
    various cutting operations like blanking, piercing, broaching and cut off takes place- it can perform a cutting and non
    cutting operations in a single tool.

    General Press tool Construction


    The general press tool construction will have following elements:

    Shank: It is used to locate the press tool in press for alignment purpose.
    Top Plate: It is used to hold top half of the press tool with press slide.
    Punch Back Plate : This plate prevents the hardened punches penetrating into top plate.
    Punch Holder: This plate is used to accommodate the punches of press tool.
    Punches : To perform cutting and not cutting operations either plain or profiled punches are used.
    Die Plate: Die plate will have similar profile of the component where cutting dies usually have holes with land
    and angular clearance and non cutting dies will have profiles.
    Die Back Plate:This plate prevents the hardened Die inserts penetrating into bottom plate.
    Guide Pillar & Guide Bush : Used for alignment between top and bottom halves of the press tools.
    Bottom plate:It is used to hold bottom half of the press tool with press slide.
    Stripper plate: it is used to strip off the component from punches.
    strip guides: It is used to guide the strip into the press tool to perform the operation.

    Types of press tools

    Cutting force in Press tool


    In general cutting force (CF) can be calculated
    using formula: CF =L x S x max
    cutting force will be in Newton(N) Where, L =
    Cut length in mm,(perimeter of profile to be cut)
    Ex: 40 mm square to be cut will have cut length
    of 160 mm
    S = Sheet metal thickness in mm,
    max = Maximum shear strength of sheet metal
    MPa

    Stripping Force

    Press tool

    Stripping force will be usually 10 to 20 % of


    cutting force.

    Press Force
    Press force will be cutting force with stripping force Press Force = Cutting force + Stripping force

    Fits in Press Tools

    Punch holder and Punches =H7/k6


    Punch and Stripper = H7/g6
    Guide Pillar and Guide bush = H7/g6
    Guide bush and Top plate = H7/p6
    Guide pillar and bottom plate = H7/p6
    Dowel and plate = H7/m6
