 PRESS WORK
 Press working processes make use of large
forces by press tools for a short interval of
time which result in cutting or shaping the
sheet metal
 Press working process does not involve
heating of the part and high surface finish
can be obtain.
 Press worked part do not require any
machining process.
 PRESS OPERATION
 A press working operation involves
application of large forces by press tool to
cut or shape the sheet metal
 The press working operation is generally
completed in one stroke of the press and
often result in the production of a finished
part in less than one second
CLASSIFICATION OF PRESS
WORKING OPERATION:-
 Shearing
 Blanking
 Piercing
 Trimming
 Punching
 Notching
 Shaving
 Embossing
 stamping
 CLASSIFICATION OF PRESS
WORKING OPERATION:-
 Shearing:-Separating material into two parts
 Blanking:- Removing material to use for
parts.
 Punching:-Removing material as scrap
SHEARING
 BLANKING
 Blanking is a cutting process in which a piece of sheet metal is removed
from a larger piece of stock by applying a great  shearing force.
  the piece removed, called the blank, is not scrap
 The blanking process requires a blanking press, sheet metal stock,
blanking punch, and blanking die. The sheet metal stock is placed over
the die in the blanking press. The die, instead of having a cavity, has a
cut out in the shape of the desired part and must be custom made
unless a standard shape is being formed.
 The hydraulic press drives the punch downward at high speed into the
sheet. A small clearance, typically 10-20% of the material thickness,
exists between the punch and die.
 When the punch impacts the sheet, the metal in this clearance quickly
bends and then fractures. The blank which has been sheared from the
stock now falls freely into the gap in the die.
 This process is extremely fast, with some blanking presses capable of
performing over 1000 strokes per minute.
BLANKING
 PUNCHING
 Punching is a the cutting of a slug from the metal to produce a
hole by applying a great enough shearing force.
 Punching is very similar to blanking except that the removed
material, called the slug, is scrap and leaves behind the desired
internal feature in the sheet, such as a hole or slot. Punching can
be used to produce holes and cut outs of various shapes and sizes.
 The punching process requires a punch press, sheet
metal stock, punch, and die. The sheet metal stock is positioned
between the punch and die inside the punch press. The die,
located underneath the sheet, 
 The punch press drives the punch downward at high speed through
the sheet and into the die below. There is a small clearance
between the edge of the punch and the die, causing the material
to quickly bend and fracture.
 The slug that is punched out of the sheet falls freely through the
tapered opening in the die.
PUNCHING
 TRIMMING
 During any working process in which the part
in place by the press, the outer edge of the
part which is the area usually gripped,
become marked and scored . Trimming is the
cutting off of this excess of metal edge.
 Trimming may be performed horizontally or
vertically, depending upon the configuration
of the part.
 PIERCING
 Piercing is
punching process.
 It is use to make
hole.
 In piercing a
pointed bullet
shaped punch is
forced through the
sheet metal to
produce hole.
 Notching is the cutting of relatively small
indention in the edge of a strip or part
 Shaving is a secondary searing or cutting
operation in which the surface of a
previously cut edge is finished or smooth.
