Abstract
Progressive dies are highly used in batch productions where product variety is low. The progressive die is also called follow on die. It performs series of basic sheet metal operations. There are two or more stations and work piece is gradually shaped to final product through passing each of these stations. The ‘progression’ (advance or pitch) is linear travel of the strip stock at each press stroke and it is equal to the infestation distance. In the present paper an attempt is made to develop a new progressive die, which used in making seat rail of an automotive four-wheeler vehicle of Toyota, to optimize the use of material. So, the cost of progressive die reduces without losing its quality. For modelling CATIA and for analysis ANSYS are used.
Highlights
Most of the expensive cast, forged, and machined products are replaced with sheet metal parts
Sometimes the riveting and other fastening processes are replaced by sheet metal stamping which can be used to improve the existing designs that often are costly
Progressive stamping die is a special type of precision tool that cuts and forms sheet metal according to the required shape
Summary
Most of the expensive cast, forged, and machined products are replaced with sheet metal parts. The architectural equipment which are made by hand are substituted by the processes like metal stamping, extrusion, forging. There are other methods like metal tubing, forming and drawing. These are more often used and more expensive. Sometimes the riveting and other fastening processes are replaced by sheet metal stamping which can be used to improve the existing designs that often are costly. Progressive stamping die is a special type of precision tool that cuts and forms sheet metal according to the required shape.
