Press Tool Design PPT Module 1
Press Tool Design PPT Module 1
2.1 Calculations for Economic Strip Layout, Calculations of Cutting force and Stripping
force, Recommending minimum tonnage of a press. Centre of Pressure (its importance
and calculation)
2.2 Design aspects of Press tool elements viz. Punches & methods of retaining punches, Die
block, Stripper, Pilot, etc. Methods of reducing cutting loads on press tools
2.3 Different types Die sets and its selection
Press tools are special tools custom built to produce a particular component mainly out of sheet metal.

Types of press operations
There are two types of operations
Cutting operations
Non-Cutting operations
Types of cutting operations
Piercing Cropping
Blanking Perforating
Notching Nibbling
Lancing Louvering
Parting off Trimming
cutoff Shaving
Piercing :-
• Holes are cut on the sheet metal.
Blanking:-
• The Cutting action must be about a complete or enclosed contour.
Notching :-
• It is an operation for removing a piece of scrap from the edge.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFr0d5H2WAM
Lancing:-
• Three side cutting and one side bending operation.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjVJoTZTQ0I
Parting Off :-
• Cut the material between two components to separate it from parent
metal.
Cut Off :-
• The cutting action must be along a line.
Cropping :-
• Cutting operation to control the strip movement.
Perforating :-
Maximum number of holes are pierced in single stroke.

Nibbling :-
• To cut out the sheet to size with help of punching.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHpkG47z5iU
Louvering:-
• Three side forming and one side cutting operation.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yXy0fDUX0M
Trimming:-
• To cut excess material which is left out on the flange of the drawn
component.
