    Press tools are used to manufacture sheet metal components through cutting and forming operations. Some common operations performed by press tools include shearing, blanking, piercing, bending, drawing, and trimming. Sheet metal parts for various industries like automotive, aircraft, appliances, and electronics are produced using press tools. Operations like shearing cut sheets without forming chips while blanking produces components with an entirely cut periphery. Piercing creates holes in pre-formed parts. Cut-off and parting off separate parts from sheet stock. Trimming and shaving remove excess material from edges. Bending applies straight folds and forming creates more complex curved shapes through material deformation. Drawing transforms flat sheets into drawn components using plastic deformation.

    The passage discusses various sheet metal operations performed using press tools, including cutting, forming, bending, drawing and more.

    Common sheet metal cutting operations discussed are shearing, blanking, piercing and cutting-off.

    Parting off leaves a small amount of scrap between blanks, while cutoff operations produce parts with no scrap.

    SHEET METAL OPERATIONS

    Press tools:
    Press tools are special tools custom built to produce a component mainly out of sheet metal. The
    principle operations of sheet stampings include cutting operations (shearing, blanking, piercing, etc.) and
    forming operations (bending, drawing, etc.).
    Sheet metal items such as automobile parts (roofs, fenders etc.), components of aircraft, parts of ATM
    machines, household appliances, sheet metal parts of electronic equipments, precision parts required for
    homological industry etc., are manufactured by press tools.

    Various operations that are performed in Press tools:


    Shearing:
    It is a method of cutting sheets without forming chips. The material is stressed in a section which lies
    parallel to the forces applied by SLITTING or SHEARING blades.

    Blanking:
    When a component is produced with one single punch and die with entire periphery is cut is called
    blanking. Stampings having an irregular contour must be blanked from the strip. Piercing, embossing,
    and various other operations may be performed on the strip prior to the blanking station.

    Piercing (punching):
    Piercing tools pierce holes in previously blanked, formed, or drawn parts. It is often impractical to pierce
    holes while forming because they would become distorted in the forming operation. In such cases they
    are pierced in a piercing tool after forming.

    Cut-off:
    A cutoff operation creates a part from the sheet stock with a single
    cut. Preliminary operations before cutting off include piercing,
    notching, and embossing. Cutoff lines may be straight, curved, or
    jagged. No material scraps in Cutoff operation.

    Parting off:
    It is similar to cut off operation except the cut is in double line. This
    is done for components with two straight surfaces and two profile
    surfaces. A parting operation leaves a small amount of scrap
    between blanks.

    Trimming:
    When cups and shells are drawn from flat sheet metal the edge is left wavy and irregular, due to uneven
    flow of metal. This irregular edge is trimmed in a trimming die. Shown is flanged shell, as well as the
    trimmed ring removed from around the edge. While a small amount of material is removed from the side
    of a component or strip is also called as trimming.

    Trimming

    Shaving

    Shaving:
    Shaving removes a small amount of material around the edges of a previously blanked stampings or
    piercing. A straight, smooth edge is provided and therefore shaving is frequently performed on instrument
    parts, watch and clock parts and the like. Shaving is accomplished in shaving tools especially designed
    for the purpose.

    Bending:
    Bending tools apply simple bends to stampings. A simple bend is
    done in which the line of bend is straight. One or more bends may be
    involved, and bending tools are a large important class of press
    tools. During bending, the inside of the bend compresses along the
    axis of bend & the outside of the bend stretches instead.

    Forming:
    Forming tools apply more complex forms to work pieces. The line of bend is curved instead of straight
    and the metal is subjected to plastic flow or deformation. The metal flow is not uniform as in bending and
    it depends on the shape of the component.

    Drawing:

    Drawing tools transform flat sheets of metal into cups, shells or other drawn shapes by subjecting the
    material to severe plastic deformation. During drawing the sheet experiences a variety of forces and
    severe plastic deformation. Drawing is very sensitive to material imperfections, die misalignments, etc.
