It allows quickly modeling the true solid 3D strip in a very easy and logical way, resulting from our almost 20 years experience shared with passionate diedesigners. In the design of blanking parts from strip material, the first step is to prepare blanking layout, that is, to layout the position of the workpieces in the strip and their orientation with respect to one another. While doing so, the major consideration is the economy of material. Another important consideration in strip layout is the distance between the blanks and the strip edge and distance between blank to blank. To prevent the scrap from twisting and wedging between the punch and the die. The distance must increase with material thickness. A general rule of thumb is to keep this distance equal to from 1 to 1.Stimes the material thickness. The following figure are example of strip layouts. 1 Y ‘Huub TF ate TE lt A- Front scrap B - Bridge thickness (space between parts and strip edge,and part to parts) C - the distance from a point on one part to the corresponding point on the next part. H- Part width I Length of part W- Width of strip Y - Scrap recovery at end N- Number of blanks t- thickness of strip L- Length of strip.2t, when Cis less than 2inch = 1.5t, when Cis more than 2inch C=1+B W=H+2B A=t+0.015H Y=L-Ne+B N=L-B/C PERCENTAGE OF UTILIZATION Strip layout is important to have economy of press tool operation. Scrap strip layout gives an idea on the positioning of various punches, stops and pilots. It ensures the ideal location of blanks in the stock strip. Several trial layouts have to be made to confirm the maximum percentage of utilization of stock strip. The goal should be to have at least 75% utilization. The percentage of stock used to calculated by the formula: % of utilization = Area of one blank X 100 /Lead X Width Where, Lead = Length of component + Bridge thickness Width= Breadth of component + 2 X Bridge thickness EXAMPLE 1: FOR STRIP LAYOUT CALCULATION 10 20 Length of part = 20mm : Breadth of part = 10mm, Thickness of part =1.5mm Bridge thickness = one times of sheet thickness taken =1.0X1.5=1.50mm,Width of strip W= H+ 28 =20+2X1,5=23mm Front scrap “a” =t + 0.01SH =1.5+0.015X 20 = 1.8mm C=1+B= 1041.5 =11.5mm € ‘oii fo QW)
