    Press Tool Cutting Force

    Cutting force is the force required to cut material from a stock sheet using a press. It is calculated based on the length and thickness of the material to be cut as well as the material's maximum shear strength. The cutting force curve shows resistance building as the punch contacts the material, peaks at maximum plastic deformation during penetration, and releases suddenly at fracture. Methods to reduce cutting force and prevent press overloading include grinding the punch face to reduce contact area, adding a shear angle to the punch or die to smooth the cutting process, and stepping punch lengths progressively.

    Cutting force

    Cutting force is the force which has to act on the stock material in order to cut out the
    blank or slug. This determines the capacity of the press to be used for the particular
    tool.
    Caluculation of cutting force
    Cutting force = l*s*T max
    where, l = length of periphery to be cut in mm
    s = sheet thickness in mm
    T max = shear strength of stock material in N/mm square
    Relationship between shearing action and cutting force
    The three critical stages of shearing action are related to cutting force. Resistance
    begins when the punch contacts the stock material. The load builds up rapidly during
    the plastic deformation stage. It continues to increase while penetration takes place.
    The accumulated load is suddenly released when fracture occurs. The curve levels off
    near the bottom. The last portion of the load curve represents frictional resistance
    developed.
    - as the punch travels through the stock material
    - as the blank or slug passing through the die.
    If proper cutting clearance condition exists between the punch and the die fracture
    will occur when cutting force equals the shear strength of the material.
    Methods of reducing press force
    In some cases it will be necessary to reduce cutting force to prevent press overloading.
    A method to reduce press force is to grind the face of the horizontal plane. This
    reduces the area of contact during shear at any one time.
    Providing shear angle also reduces shock to the press and smoothens out the cutting
    operation.
    The shear angle should provide a change in punch length from 1 to 1.5 times the sheet
    thickness.
    Double shear angle is preferred over single shear angle because it does not create
    lateral forces.
    double shear angled punches should be concave to prevent stretching the material
    before it is cut.
    to prevent distortion on the stock material
    - for blanking operation the shear angle will be on the die member.
    - for piercing operation the shear angle will be on the punch member.
    Another method to reduce cutting force is to step punch lengths. Punches or groups of
    punches are made progressively shorter by about one sheet thickness.
