Design and Analysis of Seven Stage Progressive Tool for Automobile Engine Starter Key
Abstract
Sheet metal operations are carried out in press machine. Mainly, the types of tools are simple tool, compound tool and progressive tool. Progressive tools have high productivity, maximum stock strip utilization and have low cost as well. Close tolerances can also be achieved in a progressive tool. This paper describes the design of a seven stage progressive tool for irregular-shaped sheet metal automobile engine starter key of brass alloy material. The software used for modeling and assembling is CATIA V5. Finite element analysis using ANSYS 14.0 is performed on the punches to ensure the working condition of the tool well within the limit.
