CONSTRUCTIVE INTERPRETATION OF PUNCHING AND FORMING PARTS

Focus: technology, quality, cost

Sheet metal parts play a major role in many areas of daily use. They are found for example in watches as filigree components and as a component of a complex clockwork or as components for suspension in vehicle construction. In both cases we talk about stamped or deformed parts, although it is obvious that from the point of view of the technological requirements, they have little to do with each other. That is why a general analysis of the topic is difficult. Rather, the individual requirements of a sheet metal part must be properly understood and taken into account.

The market demands shorter development cycles for new products and sets high quality and cost requirements. This forces companies to continuously improve the process of product development. In the product development process, there is a large number of improvement potentials, which can be traced back to a closer interdisciplinary focus and in-depth knowledge in the field of production technologies. A product will work well, be economically and process-reliably manufacturable, if succeeded in coordinating the optimal technologies with the requirements. In order for a well-coordinated product to be transferred to production, the technological feasibility (the concept of tools) must be continuously verified and the development of costs for tools and parts monitored.

CALCULATION OF PUNCHING/ FORMING TOOLS

Focus: progressive stamp technology
Every company has to face the challenge of finding the market-driven price for the products offered. This is all the more difficult in toolmaking because of the nature of the project, because usually every tool is built only once. Knowing the exact costs of a project right from the start is vital to any business. In this seminar you will learn which are the most important cost drivers in the evaluation of progressive tools and how these can be influenced.
The topics of this training are:
Introduction to stamping and forming technology
  • Terms and manufacturing technology (normal stamping / precision stamping)
  • Stamping installations and devices
  • Next steps in the manufacturing process (washing, deburring, surface treatment …)
Tools in punching technology
  • Tool types, special features
  • Functions in the progressive tool
  • Integratable processes (feeding, welding, riveting …)
Technologies and materials in toolmaking
  • Production technologies during tool development (erosion, milling, lathe …)
  • The importance of tool steels for service life
  • Tool guides and standard parts
Technical concept as the basis for the tool calculation
  • Technical structure of progressive tools
  • Tool design, service life, total output
  • Design of the strip pattern, processing sequences and plate construction
  • Achievable tolerances, factors that influence quality
Tool calculation
  • Unfolded view, strip
  • Structure, active elements, basic functional components
  • Calculation method
Practical exercises for calculation and pricing
Method
Lectures with numerous examples and time for interactive discussions and group exercises
Target group
Employees and managers from the areas of purchasing, supply, quality control and development departments
Duration

CALCULATION OF PUNCHING/ FORMING PARTS

Focus: Technologies, processes, costs
Cost analysis and optimization are also important methods for ensuring competitiveness in stamped and formed parts. The prices of the parts must be obtained quickly and reliably, taking into account both the costs of making the tool and the equipment used. However, these costs are not analyzed in sufficient detail. But how exactly was the price of a stamped piece? How do different technologies and manufacturing processes influence the price of parts?

In the course of this training, you will learn about the factors that affect the pricing of stamped and formed parts, including the following topics
The topics of this training are:
Basics of punching and forming technology
  • Manufacturing process: standard punching, fine blanking
  • Next steps in the manufacturing process (deburring, washing, surface treatment …)
  • Construction and types of stamping installations and devices
Tools in punching technology
  • Tool types and tool design
  • Tool concepts and their constructive interpretation
  • Integrated processes in punching tool construction
  • Possibilities of tool cost reduction
  • Tool design, service life, total output
Inquiry – Offer – Order
