Press Operations In Sheet Metal

Before designing the sheet metal stamping process press tool it is necessary to understand the configuration and components of the press tool.

Press operations in sheet metal.

Press working operations or sheet metal operations. Generally press tools are categorized by the types of operation performed using the tool such as blanking piercing bending forming forging trimming etc. Press tools are commonly used in hydraulic pneumatic and mechanical presses to produce the sheet metal components in large volumes. The press tool consists of punch punches die punch plate backup plate stripper ejectors many more components.

By physical removal of the material from the sheet if the required shape of the component is obtained called as cutting or shearing operation. Typical press operations are defined below. Cutting operations in press machine. Coining a squeezing operation usually performed in a closed die in which the metal is forced to flow and fill the shape and profile of the die.

They are divided in the two categories i e. 1 cutting operations 2 non cutting operations or forming operation. The piece cut out is the useful part. Type of operations in the press machine there are many operations which can be performed in the sheet metal.
