Name four die accessories and write their functions.

1 Answer

Answer :

Die Accessories:

1) Stripper: To remove scrap material from the punch as it cleans the die block.

2) Pilots: The pilot positions, the stock strip accurately and bring it into proper position for blanking and piercing operations. They act as guides during the piercing or blanking operations.

3) Stops: The stops are used for correct spacing of the sheet metal as it is fed below the punch to give the greatest output in given length of the plate.

4) Knock out: The function of knock out is to eject the finished components from the die cavity.

5) Strip Feeder: It is used for feeding the strip mostly in automatic operations.

6) Pressure Pad: It is used for drawing operation for maintaining flat surface of the cup.
