A Study on the Effect of V-Ring Position on the Die Roll Height in Fine Blanking for Special Automobile Seat Recliner Gear

Abstract

In this paper, the relation between die roll height and V-ring position was studied by fine blanking experiments for imaginary special automobile seat recliner gear. The three die inserts and three guide plate inserts with different V-ring positions were machined, and fine blanking tool was manufactured. Using the fine blanking tool, three experiments were conducted on the 650 ton fine blanking press. Each die roll height was measured, analyzed and we found the tendency of die roll heights on imaginary special gear to increase with increasing the distance between V-ring position and contour of gear. This result can be used to minimize the die roll height of fine blanking gear parts when designing V-ring of fine blanking tool.
