Types of stop

Solid stops
A hardened steel block is mounted at the required location
Plain pin stop
It is a plain cylindrical pin mounted in the die block.A clearance
hole for the pin stop in the bottom plate is provided for the
following reasons.ugas o
To permit adjustment of the height of the pin stop without
removing the die plate from the assembly.
While resharpening the die the stop pin can be removed.
The pin can be driven down in the event of misfeed.This reduces
the chance of damage to the tool.
Headed pin stop
When the stop is to be very nearer (very small scrap bridge)to the
die opening a headed pin stop is used.
A plain pin stop cannot be used in such cases because the
opening made for locating thee stop will weaken the die.
The mounting hole of the headed pin stop will be away from the
die opening.
Spring loaded pin stop
It is a spring pin located at the required stopping position.These
stoppers do not require clearance in the opposing tool mmber.The
pin is pressed down by the opposing tool member during
operation.
Finger stops
In progresive tols designed for manual feeding finger stops locate
the strip for each station except for the final station.
This is actuated manually.It is mounted in the stripper
plate.Provision is made for moving the stopper through a
predetermined distance.It is pushed inwards to enable the stock
material to halt against it.
After the press stroke the stopper is released.When a new stock
strip is fed the stopper has to be actuated again.
Trigger stops
For faster manual feeding,trigger stops are preferred.
There are two types of trigger stops.
- Front acting.
- Side acting.

The working mechanism for front acting and side acting trigger
stops are same.
The front acting trigger stop is mounted in the front end of the
tool and the side acting trigger stop is mounted in the side of the
tool.
The lever shaped trigger stop fits freely in the slot milled in the
guide plate.One side of the wall of the slot is machined with a
taper angle.It gives the necessary movement to the trigger.
An inclined set spring at the other end of the trigger holds the
trigger holds the trigger in position.
When the strip is pressed against the tip face of a trigger,thee
trigger moves back wards and stops against the nontapered wall
of the slot.
This allows the strip to advance.This advancement is equal to one
margin wdth.When the tool is tripped a knocker bar fixed to the
top assembly of the top assembly of the tool comes down and
knocks the free end of the trigger.This action lifts to clears the
thickness and then jumps back to its old position to fall on the
strip(blanked portion).The strip can be fed forward.
