Types of die for press tool component

A die is a structure that is used in the production process to shape the metal as per the requirements in a press. The die is similar to mold as it is made as per the product design and the requirements. It is used in the production of products like paper clips and complicated components of heavy machinery.

 There are various types of dye for press tool equipment. Some of these are: 

  • Cutting dies: These are special dies that are used specifically to cut metal. It uses force and shearing action to either stretch the metal or cut it completely.
  • Forming dies: These dies are used specifically to give a certain shape to the metal. This die doesn't allow for any wastage of the material. 
  • Simple dies: The simple dies are used when only one operation is required to be performed in one single press tools. It can be used to perform specific tasks such as cutting or forming. 
  • Compound dies: The compound dies are dies that are used to perform two or more operations simultaneously. The most common operation performed using the compound dies is the cutting.
  • Combination dies: This die is also used to perform two or more operations simultaneously in one press. The difference between a compound and combination die is that in a combination die, operations like bending and cutting of metals one as after the other.
  • Progressive die: In a progressive die, the die follows one operation after the other in the same press step. After each operation, the metal is transferred to the next station if the same die. After each press, the metal is converted to the final product. 
  • Transfer dies: These dies are similar to the progressive die, but the differentiating factor is that in this the cut metal is transferred mechanically.
  • Multiple dies: This is a special type of simple die for two simple dies that are clubbed together to get two finished products simultaneously.  
These are some of the basic types of dies used in the press tool for performing various operations on the metal.

SWOT Analysis of the Machine Tool Industry in India

The strategic importance of the Indian machine tool industry is steadily increasing, because of which the press tool manufacturers ,  die tool manufacturer, or another machine tool manufacturer requires an effective corporate strategy in order to achieve sustainably advantage. SWOT Analysis is one of the most highly accepted methods of analyzing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of an organization's strategic management policy. It should be kept in mind that the use of a trite SWOT analysis is founded on the qualitative analysis and has no means of determining the significance of each SWOT facet. Generally, the aim of SWOT analysis is determining not only the strengths and weaknesses of an organization but also the opportunities and threats of that particular organization in the environment. Strengths (S) Market-related strengths (S m ) High market competitiveness user (S m1 ) Wide market extent (S m2 ) Ample competiti

What Is Tool And Die Engineering?

Image
Engineering is a universal concept that can be applied to any field of production. Engineering basically comprises of scheming with specifics to create tangible maneuvers from paper plans to facilitate machinery or to be employed individually as a standalone product in manufacturing and production. Tool and die engineering is the field of planning and producing tools such as press tools , dies, cutting tools, molds and so on that create specific products on raw materials like sheet metal parts . The modified sheet metal parts are sequestered for use in the function of high-end machinery components.  Types of tools/dies: Dies:                           The dies hold a simple construction with sheet metal tools   sandwiched between upper and lower jaw of the tool. Upon pressure the die cuts or forges into the sheet imprinting or re-shaping according to its shape or design. Dies are classified as compound or combination dies where more than one operation s

Indian machine tool industry statistics

Image
According to the latest Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) report on machine tools market and opportunities, India holds 17th position in production and 12th position in consumption of the machine tools. India is all set to become a lead player in the global machine tool industry. Being one of the largest producers in the world's machine tool industry, the world's machine tool industry consists of manufacturing units of which some are present in the international companies and few are in the organised sector. Though the Indian machine tool industry started at a slow pace. With the passage of time Indian machine tool industry successfully positioned itself in the global market. The United States of America, Germany and China give a tough competition to the Indian machine tool industry. India has ample manufacturing units of the die tool manufacturers  industry. Despite being highly fragmented, the Indian machine tool industry is expanding at an incredible growt
