6-Station Progressive Die for 3 mm Bent Steel Parts

ZINITEK project: 6-station progressive die for a 3 mm steel L-shaped 90° mounting bracket, the kind used to join machine frames, electrical cabinets and cable trays at right angles; two parts per stroke, with an animated 3D model. Discuss a die solution from your drawing or sample.

3D model of 6-Station Progressive Die for 3 mm Bent Steel Parts

3D model

The view-only 3D model shows the upper half, lower half, stripper, springs and the strip through all six stations. The motion follows a crank press: the stripper clamps the strip, the bending punches form the flanges with the stroke, the piercing and cutting punches go through the strip, slugs drop through the die and the two parts are pushed out at the end.

Main construction

115 × 3 mm strip, 55 mm pitch, 30 mm press stroke; the upper half closes until the stop blocks seat on the stripper. Rectangular bending punches with 3.15 mm clearance and eight ISO 10243 springs on shoulder bolts. Punches and dies in SKD11 hardened to 58–62 HRC, plates in S50C.

Discuss a die for your part

Send a drawing or sample with material, thickness, volume and press data, and ZINITEK will discuss the design and manufacturing approach.
