Follow on composite tools

Woodening tools are manufactured in Tools and are used to manufacture sheet metal components for industry. A follow-up composite tool usually comprises a plurality of stations on which a processing step or an operation on the component is carried out in each case.

How does a follow-up tool work?

A carrier strip transports the component to be processed from station to station. The sheet metal part is pushed further through the tool with each stroke and is machined in each processing station. After the passage through the secondary composite has ended, the finished punched parts or sheet metal parts are cut off.

The method offers a cost-effective alternative to the transfer press in which several working steps are carried out with only one single press stroke.

Manufacturing of sequential composite tool

In the construction of secondary composite tools, it should be noted that the sheet metal strip is always cycled by the respective feed length through the tool until the last station is reached. In addition, factors such as the arrangement of guide pins, the board position, the pressing force, strip connections and the tool movement must be taken into account.
