Some Researches on the Cutting Process Using a Stamping Device

Abstract

The cutting process of the parts from the plates and strips consists in the action of two active elements of the stamping machine: device punch and active plate. The main actors on which the cutting process depends are the thickness and the mechanical characteristics of the material to be cut, the state of the edges of the active elements and the clearance between the active elements. This paper presents the results of the research on the variation of the stamping force depending on the thickness and the stamp clearance for the maximum cutting force.
