PRESS TOOL
Press tool is a set of plates with a relief, or depth based design, in them. The metal is
placed between the plates, and the plates are pressed up against each other,
deforming the metal in the desired shape and size.
Our Project lays emphasis on the design of press tool for the manufacturing of
connector used in smoke detector. Testing the press tool and inspecting the
connector completes the scope of our project. Our objective is to design the
connector by the following operations:-
Piercing Operation
Blanking Operation
Floating Stripper
Shim
= 8 mm
Height of strip = 30.41 mm
Thickness of strip = 0.25
Number of blanks = 12
% Utilization of strip =
+ +2
= 60 %

Cutting force = Area*s
[For simplicity of manufacturing, length and width of stripper is assumed to be same as that of die block]
