In the stamping production of progressive stamping die, it is necessary to carry out specific analysis for the phenomenon of poor stamping, adopt effective treatment measures, and fundamentally solve the problems that occur, so as to reduce production costs and achieve smooth production. The following is the reason for the common bad stamping phenomenon in production and the treatment measures are as follows, for the mold maintenance personnel to refer to.

First, the progressive stamping punching edge

Cause:

  1. The knife edge wear,
  2. The gap is too large to repair the knife edge after the effect is not obvious,
  3. The knife edge collapse angle,
  4. The gap is unreasonable up and down offset or loose,
  5. Up and down dislocation.

Countermeasure:

  1. Grinding the knife edge,
  2. Control the precision of the convex and concave die machining or modify the design gap,
  3. Grind the cutting edge,
  4. Adjust the punching clearance to confirm the problem of the hole wear of the template hole or the processing precision of the molded part,
  5. Replace the guide or Remodeling.

Second,progressive stamping chipping crush

Cause:

  1. The gap is too large,
  2. Improper feeding,
  3. The stamping oil droplets are too fast, the oil is sticky,
  4. The mold is not demagnetized,
  5. The punch is worn, and the scrap is pressed onto the punch,
  6. The punch Too short, insufficient length of inserting die,
  7. Hard material, simple punching shape,
  8. Emergency measures.

Counter measures:

  1. Control the precision of the convex and concave die machining or modify the design clearance,
  2. Prun the strip when it is sent to the proper position and clean the mold in time,
  3. Control the amount of oil in the stamping oil, or change the oil to reduce the viscosity,
  4. Die, After the training, the magnet must be demagnetized (more attention should be paid to the iron,
  5. The punch is cut.
  6. Adjust the length of the punch into the die,
  7. Replace the material and modify the design. The punch is inserted into the end face or repaired. Bevel or arc (note the direction). Reduce the bonding area between the end face of the punch and the scrap,
  8. Reduce the sharpness of the edge of the die, reduce the grinding amount of the die edge, and increase the straight edge of the die. Roughness (covering) of the surface of the part, using a vacuum cleaner to absorb waste, reducing the speed of the collision and slowing the jumping.

Third, the blockage of the material for progressive die stamping

The reason:

  1. The leakage hole is small,
  2. The leakage hole is too large, and the material is rolled,
  3. The knife edge wears, the burrs are larger,
  4. The stamping oil drops are too fast and the oil is sticky,
  5. The surface of the straight edge of the concave die is rough, and the powder is sintered and adhered to the blade,
  6. The material is soft,
  7. Emergency measures.

Counter measure:

  1. Modify the leakage hole,
  2. Modify the leakage hole,
  3. The blade repair knife,
  4. Control the amount of oil dripping and replace the oil type,
  5. Surface treatment, polishing, pay attention to reduce surface roughness when processing, change materials,
  6. Modify the blanking clearance,
  7. The end face of the punching blade is trimmed with a slope or an arc (note the direction), and a vacuum cleaner is used to add air to the blanking hole of the pad.

Fourth, the material deviation size variation wit progressive die stamping

The reason:

  1. The convex and concave die edges are worn, and the burrs are generated (the shape is too large and the inner holes are small),
  2. The design size and gap are not appropriate, the processing accuracy is poor,
  3. The position of the lower punch and the die insert are uneven, and the gap is uneven,

  6. The feeder feed distance, pressure material, relaxation adjustment is improper,
  7. The mold closing height is improperly adjusted,
  8. The material of the stripping block is worn, and the material without pressure (strong pressure) is used (the material is pulled by the material to cause small punching),
  9. The unloading insert is too strong and the punching is too large,
  10. Variation of mechanical properties of stamping materials (intensity of elongation is unstable),
  11. When punching, the punching force pulls on the material, causing dimensional variation.

Countermeasure:

  1. Research the knife edge,
  2. Modify the design to control the machining accuracy,
  3. Adjust the position accuracy and punch the gap,

  9. Reduce the depth of strong pressure,
  10. Replace materials and control the quality of the feed,
  11. The end face of the punching blade is trimmed with a slope or an arc (note the direction) to improve the stress during the punching. When the license is issued, the loading part is placed on the unloading insert to provide a guiding function.

Five, material jammed for progressive high speed stamping

The reason:

  1. Feeder feed distance, pressing material, and loose adjustment are improper,
  2. Variation in the distance between production and delivery,
