Fine Blanking
Fine Blanking Press
It is a method for plastic forming where the clearance between the punch and the die is minimized and the material is held with a guide plate and counter force.
Overview
Compared to general punching press work, this method produces high-precision products with a smooth shear surface and exact squareness.
Fine blanking has attracted so much attention and spread because of the high potential of its basic principle.
Today, we are continuing to evolve this method, supported not only by various innovations and improvements, but also by additional peripheral technologies.
It is an excellent technology that contributes not only to the quality and performance of finished products, but also to the rationalization of processing, conservation of resources, and reduction of costs.
Features
Feature 01High precision with smooth shear surface and exact squareness.
Micron-level precision press is possible—something which is difficult with general press work. A smooth, beautiful shear surface can be obtained, with no need for post-treatment.
Feature 02Original technology for mold design
About 60 years have passed since the basic technology was acquired from a Swiss company Hydrel, and all of our molds are manufactured in-house. Based on our proprietary design philosophy, we continue to evolve in various processes, from mold design to the manufacture of press molded products.
The Company’s molds are designed and manufactured to have a 4-prop or 2-prop structure to provide rigidity with an emphasis on precision of products.
Feature 03Rationalization, resource conservation and cost reduction
It is an excellent technology that contributes not only to the quality and performance of finished products, but also to the rationalization of processing, conservation of resources, and reduction of costs.
Mechanism
Process cycle
-
1 The press closes rapidly, and the rounded blades begin to compress into the material surface.
-
2 The rounded blades compress and start cutting.
-
3 The fine blanking operation is complete, with the product inside the die and the punching slag inside the punch.
-
4 The product and the punching slag are discharged, and the punch is separated from the material. Immediately after that, the product and slag are blown away with an air blower, etc., and the next material to process advances.
Processing examples
Products that undergo post-treatment after general pressing, forging, casting, etc. can be produced without post-treatment by using fine blanking.
- Processing methods
-
Improvement in hole surface roughness: Hole surface roughness can be improved to about 0.3 a, eliminating the need for the reamer honing process.
-
- Post-treatment
-
We also undertake post-treatment processes following fine blanking, such as deburring, polishing, heat treatment, surface treatment and machining.
