The compound tool project was manufactured as a part of faculty training program on press tool refreshment conducted during the period of January to 10 February Our project component is a washer having OD 21mm and ID 15.5mm.

To manufacture a compound tool The process planning and follow of the project by using macro and micro level process planning Exposure to industrial techniques and manufacturing methods comprising of precision machining like CNC, Wire EDM, Cylindrical Grinding. Knowing the various methods of inspection of the tool parts and components Developing the knowledge about various fits and Tolerance Exposure to tool try out and suggesting further corrections

Component name : Washer Operation : blanking and piercing Material : Aluminum Sheet thickness : 1mm Shut height : 115.0mm

Piece parts produced from compound tools are very accurate and identical as all operations are carried out in single station. The burr will be formed on the same side. Scrap stocks from other tools can be economically employed to produce pieces parts. The components will have better flatness.

In addition to the shedder and the knockout rod, it consists of a knockout plate and transfer pins as shown in the figure. The location and number of transfer pins depend on the size and shape of the blank. INDIRECT KNOCKOUT

DIRECT KNOCK OUT. In a knockout system if the knockout rod is directly in contact with the shedder, the system is known as direct knock out system.

Shut height is the distances from the bottom of the bottom plate to the top of the plate when the tool is in closed condition. The height of the pillars must be less than the shut height in order to ensure that the ram will not strike against the ends of the pillars. If possible the pillars should be so designed to accommodate the reduction in the shut height, Which will be due to re-sharpening of the punch and die.

The die sets consists of a bottom plate and top plate together with guide pillar and bushes. The guide pillars And bushes align the top bottom plates. THE ADVANTAGES OF DIE SETS ARE : Accuracy of set up Improved piece part quality Increased dies life Minimum set up time Easy maintenance Alignment of punch and die

Pos. no : 12 Quantity : 01 Material : MS Size :Ø29X15 Pre machined and ground Co-ordinate drilling & Wire EDM of Ø10.5H7 C.G of Ø20.96 by using mandrel

Pos. no : 14 Quantity : 01 Material : MS Size :Ø15X35 Pre Turned C.G of Ø for piercing & Ø12k6 for fitment with punch holder

Top assembly : At first Die set Assembled, ensured perpendicularity of guide bush with top plate and guide pillar with bottom plate and parallelism also maintained. The piercing punch is fitted to the punch holder with H7/k6 fit head is fleshed in line with the punch holder. The back plate is positioned such that the screw holes and dowel holes are in line with the holes in the punch holder.

The shedder is made to slide in the die plate. Piercing punch is made to slide in the shedder (H7 / g6) The shudder is actuated with the help of transfer pin and transfer plate and knock out rod Top plate, punch holder and die plate are clamped with the help of screws and alignment with the help of dowels. Shank is fitted to the top plate

Bottom assembly : The blanking punch is fitted to the bottom plate with screws and dowels. The strip guide pins and stopper are fixed to the stripper plate. The stripper plate is engaged over the blanking punch with the help of limit bolts. Springs,washers are inserted between stripper and bottom plate for actuating the stripper. Top parallelism of stripper plate is checked after tightening the bolts. The top half and bottom half in closed condiction top parallelism is checked.

Die plate : Strip guide pin relief hole made through instead of blind hole. Blanking punch: One dowel hole drilled in wrong position. Shedder: Inside diameter made to diameter 10.56mm instead of diameter 10.5 H7

We could able to complete our plan as per macro and micro level planning We achieved Top and Bottom plat co-ordinate drilling as per drawing within Tolerance Die set Assembled properly and it is functioning well All plates coordinate achieved as per drawing with in Tolerance Knockout mechanism functioning as per requirement Traveling stripper functioning as per requirement
