A REVIEW ON PRESS TOOL DESIGN PROCESS

Mechanical Engineering

For the continual manufacture of parts, press tools are employed. As a result, it becomes necessary to choose a tool material that is both highly durable and capable of withstanding repeated heavy loads. Improper tool material and design decisions can result in significant losses, deformed components, production risks, etc. To overcome these uncertainties, modeling and analysis of the entire press tool in CAD and CAE software applications would be a useful tool. The architecture of presses determines the operations they may perform, including blanking, bending, piercing, shaping, drawing, reducing off, splitting off, embossing, coining, notching, shaving, lancing, dinking, perforating, trimming, and curling. The term "press tool" will also be used to describe blanking, piercing, and bending tools. A strip is defined as being smaller than 6mm in width. Metals that are thicker than 6mm are referred to as plates. A press tool is a tool that lowers production costs while also speeding up production. A review of design processes like calculation, production, and material selection is presented in this study.
