A die set is a critical tooling component in press machines, designed for metal and plastic forming processes. It comprises upper and lower parts that hold the die, connected by guide posts to ensure vertical movement accuracy. Made from materials like polyurethane, and nitrile rubber, and sometimes reinforced with fibers, die sets enable the precise shaping of various products by changing the installed dies.
Die sets are instrumental in forming various industrial and automotive parts, including gears and joints, through metal and plastic forming processes. This method is favored for its ability to produce high-strength products cost-effectively and efficiently.
Die sets integrate several components, such as the mounting section for press machine attachment, the pressure-receiving section for force transmission, and the forming section for shaping the product. They maintain accurate alignment through guide posts and bushings, ensuring the quality of the final product.
Selection is based on required precision, rigidity, and specific application needs, considering guide post positioning and guide types, such as plain, ball guide, or roller type for higher performance.
Die sets allow for versatile forming processes through die exchanges, enhancing production flexibility. However, ensuring eccentricity and concentricity accuracy is crucial to prevent quality issues.
Essential components include the guide post for alignment and the guide bush for smooth operation, ensuring the die set's top and bottom halves remain accurately aligned during use.
