SCHMIDT® Nr. 34 Air Toggle Press: Application, Requirements
- Form & cut pre-stamped component, presented on a reel.
- Production rate 30 / minute minimum
Concept Description
Toggle press with die set. Press in this case does nothing more than operate the 2-column guided die set. The die set also has hard stops built in, in order to control the forming depth and accuracy of the component without the variable of the column flex. With components of that size, the flex of the press frame can become an unacceptable variable when accuracy is very critical. Positive stops can eliminate this variable.
Project number 2482 also is a strip feeding application where silicon was cut on a steel rule die. Similar in concept, different regarding the actual application.
