A die-pressing punch used for die-pressing a workpiece includes a punch guide, a punch body that is provided vertically movably and non-rotatable about its axial center with respect to the punch guide, a punch head screw-fitted with the punch head. The die-pressing punch further includes a roller unit that is provided inside the punch guide beneath the punch body vertically movably and has a rotatable roller protruding downward from a bottom face of the punch guide, and an urging member that is provided between the punch body and the roller unit and urges the roller unit downward. The die-pressing punch further includes a joint member that is jointed with the punch head non-rotatably about the axial center, and an operable member. The operable member switches the joint member between a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state about the axial center with respect to the punch guide.

A die-pressing die used for die-pressing a workpiece includes a die body on whose upper face a die hole is formed and on whose bottom face a discharge hole for discharging dusts of the workpiece is formed, and a roller unit disposed within the die hole and having a roller protruding upward from the upper face of the die body. A collection passage for collecting the dusts is formed at a peripheral edge portion of the die hole. One end of the collection passage is opened at the upper face of the die body, and another end thereof is opened to the discharge hole. The collection passage is configured to suction air due to a negative pressure state in the discharge hole.

A method for producing a component element for a furniture fitting, in particular a rail, includes the following steps to be carried out in chronological order: providing a planar sheet having a longitudinal extension, two top surfaces and two side surfaces spaced apart by a width of the sheet, as a semifinished product of the component element. The sheet has a wall thickness in the range of 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, and is formed, preferably by an embossing stamp and/or an embossing roller, on at least one top surface with an indentation. The indentation is arranged transversely, preferably substantially orthogonally, to the longitudinal extension. The sheet is bent such that, in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal extension, a profile of the component element arises, and the bent sheet is mechanically separated in the region of the indentation.

A machine tool of the present invention includes: a visual sensor that takes an image of unworked workpiece; an unworked workpiece shape information storing unit that stores unworked workpiece shape information obtained by the visual sensor; a worked workpiece shape information storing unit in which worked workpiece shape information is stored; a burr information calculating unit that recognizes a burr by comparing the unworked workpiece shape information with the worked workpiece shape information; a burr determining unit that determines the burr based on conditions including at least one of the location and the direction of the burr in the workpiece; a working method judging unit that decides whether or not to perform burring with a tool of the machine tool based on the determination result concerning the burr; and a working path generating unit that generates a working path for removing the burr judged to be a burr on which burring is to be performed with the tool.

The punching processing method of the present invention is a punching processing method in which a metallic sheet material 1a is sequentially subjected to multiple punching processing steps by a punch and a die, comprising, in first step punching processing, forming a first step punched surface 2 on the sheet material 1a, and then in second step punching processing, forming a second step punched surface 3 on the sheet material 1a by punching the sheet material 1a such that the second step punched surface 3 and the first step punched surface 2 are crossed with each other, thereby forming matching portions 5 at positions where the first step punched surface 2 and the second step punched surface 3 intersect, wherein after the first step punching processing and before the second step punching process, the method further comprises subjecting the sheet material 1a to swaging processing that sandwiches and crushes matching portion forming portions 5a of the sheet material 1a, which will form the matching portions 5, from a top surface TS side and a back surface BS side of the sheet material 1a.

A die-pressing punch used for die-pressing a workpiece includes a punch guide, a punch body that is provided vertically movably and non-rotatable about its axial center with respect to the punch guide, a punch head screw-fitted with the punch head. The die-pressing punch further includes a roller unit that is provided inside the punch guide beneath the punch body vertically movably and has a rotatable roller protruding downward from a bottom face of the punch guide, and an urging member that is provided between the punch body and the roller unit and urges the roller unit downward. The die-pressing punch further includes a joint member that is jointed with the punch head non-rotatably about the axial center, and an operable member. The operable member switches. joint member between a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state about the axial center with revect to the punch guide.

A stamped or fine-blanked, workpiece is inserted in an embossing device, and the burr created on the workpiece during stamping or fine blanking is rounded by way of a die of the embossing device and the height of the rollover created during stamping or fine blanking is decreased using the same stroke of the embossing device by way of which the burr rounding is carried out.

A method for chamfering the installation position of a water control valve of a faucet body, mainly using a punching machine to drive a processing punch to punch a first end or second end, where the processing punch is provided with a fillet corresponding to the hole of the first end or second end, which squeezes the burrs through the driving of the punching machine, allowing the surface of installation position of the water control valve to be even and smooth, achieving smooth rotation of the water control valve, and preventing the water stop rubber to be scratched by the burrs or sharp corners.

An apparatus for trimming a sheet metal panel in a die set. A grinding tool including a grinding wheel driven by a rotary drive is used to grind away a shear affected zone from the trimmed edge formed by the trim steel. The grinding tool is disposed within a cavity defined by the reciprocating die and is oriented to grind away a shear affected zone as the reciprocating die moves the grinding tool into engagement with the trimmed edge.
