A Study on the Development of Progressive Die for Multi-Stage Forming

The production part requiring multiple processes such as piecing, blanking and notching, are performed with a high production rates in progressive die. In order to prevent the dejects of process result, the optimum of strip process layout design, die design, die making, and tryout with inspection etc. are needed. According to these factors of die development process, they required theory and practice of metal working process and its phenomena, die structure, machining conditions for die making, die materials, heat treatment of die camponents, know-how and so on. In this study, we designed and analyzed die camponents also simulated the strip process layout of multiple stage drawing by DEFORM. Especially the result of tryout and its analysis become to the feature of this study.
