<\/i><\/i><\/span>Blanking<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Blanks are produced from the shearing or cutting of outside contours or shapes out of sheet or strip stock. For larger production runs, blanking is often done in multiple dies, and is combined with other operations such as piercing and forming in combination and progressive dies.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Bolster Plate<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A plate or block attached to the top of the press bed where the die is fastened. In some rare cases the die is fastened directly to the bed.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>C Frame Press<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A mechanical press with a main crank or eccentric shaft connected to the driving source by one or more sets of gears. A triple geared machine will have three sets of gears and pinions and four driving shafts including the main crankshaft. A twin geared press has two main gears on the crankshaft meshing with two main pinions on the first intermediate shaft.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Coining<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A squeezing operation, usually performed in a closed die in which the metal is forced to flow and fill the shape and profile of the die. There is a definite change in metal thickness.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Connecting Rod<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Die<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
1. A tool used on a press for any operation or series of operations, such as forming, drawing, piercing and cutting. The upper member (or members) are attached to the slide (or slides) of the press, with the lower member clamped or bolted to the bed or bolster, shaped so that the material placed between them is cut or formed when the press makes a stroke.
\n2. The female part of a complete die assembly as described in (1).
\n3. A tool for cutting external threads.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Die Cushion<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
An attachment or press accessory which gives additional motion or pressure required in many compound press operations. The pressure medium can be rubber, springs, air or liquid (usually oil). Air (pneumatic) cushions are the most commonly used. Uses include blank holding, drawing, maintaining uniform pressure on a die part, knock-out, and stripping. Typically mounted in order on the press bed, they can sometimes be mounted on the top of a press slide flange.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Die Height<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
The closed height of a die during the working portion of the press or completed operation in the die. Die Height is measured from the top of the bolster plate to the bottom of the slide.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Double Action Press<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A mechanical press having two independent parallel movements of two mechanical press slides. One slide is operated by a crankshaft – the outer or blank holder slide which dwells during the drawing process is usually operated by a toggle mechanism or cams.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Double Crank Press<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A mechanical single action press in which the slide is operated by two cranks and connections. There are two basic classifications for mechanical double crank presses:
\n1. Straightside press with straight uprights or housing that enclose the slides of the die space.
\n2. Gap Frame Stamping Presses with uprights or housings (parts of frame) that are open leaving the top of the bed and die space clear for easy access of material. This definition is general and covers both single frame and tie rod frame machines.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Double Geared Type<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
The flywheel is mounted on a separate shaft and a double gear reduction is used to transmit power to the main shaft. This type of press is used on deeper draw work where a considerable amount of energy is required due to the longer distance as well as where the maximum drawing speed of various metals limits the speed of the slide. Double-geared presses generally operate in a speed range of 10 to 30 spm.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Eccentric<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Essentially a disk arranged to rotate around a center, not the center of dish but parallel to it. An eccentric should crank with a crankpin of such size that it contains or surrounds the shaft. The eccentric with its strap or connection is used in the eccentric press and for driving auxiliary attachments, such as liftouts and various types of feeds.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Eccentric Gear Presses<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
These presses usually have a double geared drive and are used a great deal for medium and heavy blanking, and draw work where long strokes and fairly slow speeds are required.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Eccentric Shaft Presses<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
These presses are recommended for short stroke work or for high speed operation. Basically the same as the crank press, these presses have an eccentric shaft instead of a crankshaft. The use of the eccentric shaft reduces the effect of bending on the main shaft thus making the shaft stiffer.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Embossing<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A process for producing raised or sunken designs in sheet metal by means of a male and female die.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Extrusion<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A process in which pressure is applied to a slug of metal causing the metal to flow either up around the punch (toothpaste tubes) or down in the direction of pressure (cartridge cases – Hooker process).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Flywheel Press<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A mechanical press which has the flywheel mounted directly on the main crank or eccentric shaft without gearing. Sometimes called a plain or non-geared press. This press model is primarily for blanking and piercing operations where energy requirements are comparatively small and where the press operates at a fairly high speed (90 spm and above).<\/div><\/div><\/div>

These machines have a comparatively short stroke, are built in one-piece or built-up frames and arranged with various types of feeds to meet customer requirements.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

These presses are usually open-back, gap frames with a right to left crankshaft up to 200 tons. Typically used in the upright or vertical position, these presses are readily adjustable, usually by a hand mechanism, to any desired inclination up to 45 degrees. The inclinable press is widely used, being particularly suited to blanking, piercing, forming and shallow drawing operations for a variety of small and medium size parts. This type of press is usually equipped with a mechanical feed for rapid automatic production.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
