The multihole blanking of thin sheet metal using progressive die set is an important process on production of precision electronic machine parts such as IC leadframe. In this paper, in order to investigate the influence of blanking order on the final lead profile and deformed configuration, simulation technique for progressive blanking process is proposed and analyzed by LS-DYNA. The results of FE-simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results. Consequently, from the results of FE-analysis based on the procedure proposed in this paper, it is possible to predict the deformation of lead and to manufacture high precision leadframes in progressive blanking process and these results might be used as a guideline to develop layout design system in multihole blanking process.
