1: A “Combo Die” consists of half male/female and half steel rule or a machined punch.
| This tool cuts Interior accurately and the exterior at steel rule quality. |
2: The Full Class “A” cuts with interior/exterior shear cuts and includes stripper plate.
| This tool cuts both the interior and the exterior very accurately. |
3: Blanking Die Has Only The Male/Female Portion.
| This tool cuts the slug which is usually the part needed. |
| Hard Tooling Die Nomenclature: |
| This is a solid machined plate backed up by die springs for a positive removal of die cut part from the punch. This plate is used in combo dies as well as full class “A” dies. the part is put back into the web. |
| A plate is in the upper male punch of a Class “A’ die to remove the die cut part and then put it back into the web. |
| The male is the interior punch which may be a shape or a diameter that has to enter into the female. |
| This plate is on the bottom of the die set and it contains all the diameters and/or shapes for the male/s to cut through and the outer die punch to cut against. |
| The female has the same shape as the male for which it must pass through. |
| These protect the die from over stroking and damaging the tool. |
| This plate holds the die punch, males and the stripper plate. |
| This plate holds the female. |
| These are used when there is high tolerance between the male/female to prevent contact and also for a long die run. |
| The standard bushing is used when a lower tolerance between the male/female is not required and a short die run. |
| The pin/post enters the bushing for proper alignment before the male(s) enter the female. |
| Die life is the amount of vertical shape the die has. The greater the die life the more the slug has to travel before exiting. |
| Used to lift the die when moving. |
| Used to attach to the ram of the press. |
| The amount of movement the press has in vertical motion. |
| This is the outer portion of the tool usually a steel rule die or a machined punch. |
| This holds all the males in location for exact aligniment to enter the female. |
| Used to make up distance for proper shut height. |
| Die springs are of exceptional quality for use in the return of the stripper plate or the return of the upper die shoe. |
| If the die set is to be returned under its own power. This aids in having not to bolt the upper die plate to the press. |
| To lift the die set for scrap removal when there is no scrap hole in the press. |
| Used to locate the material when doing progressive cutting. |
| This block is used with a feeler gage to adjust the press for proper engagement. |
