The two or more guide sections extend in a vertical direction to a level that is higher than the upper surface of the ram plate section.

The invention relates to a method for cutting up punching scrap running as waste from a punching device, in particular from a fine blanking press, by means of a waste-cutting device, in particular which is arranged as a progressive tool with respect to the punching device, wherein, by way of the waste-cutting device, the punching scrap is completely cut through perpendicularly to the running direction thereof at a cutting edge by a cutting knife and in this way punching-scrap portions are formed, wherein, together with the stroke of the cutting knife, at least one scrap web of the punching scrap that is spaced apart from the punching-scrap boundaries is cut through by at least one punch which is spaced apart from the cutting knife, preferably by at least two punches, in particular so that each punching-scrap portion is subdivided into at least two punching-scrap sub-portions. The invention also relates to a waste-cutting device of a punching device, comprising a cutting knife and a cutting edge, wherein, by way of the interaction of cutting knife and cutting edge during a stroke of the cutting knife, punching scrap which can be passed through between cutting knife and cutting edge in a running direction can be completely cut through perpendicularly to the running direction, in which, spaced apart from the cutting knife, provision is made of at least one punch which is arranged in a locationally fixed manner with respect to the cutting knife and which can be moved together with the cutting knife, in particular by way of which at least one scrap web of the punching scrap can be cut through in the punching scrap.

A device for manufacturing a laminated iron core includes: a punch unit configured to form protrusions, and including N number of punches as a set, the N being a natural number larger than M; and N number of auxiliary punches. The N number of auxiliary punches are configured such that L number of auxiliary punches selected from the N number of auxiliary punches performs a nullification processing on a metal sheet, the nullification processing being configured to nullify a processing with the L number of punches among the N number of punches, the L being the natural number that is obtained by subtracting the M from the N. According to the above configurations, for example, since a processing position with the plurality of punches is limited in one position, a positional accuracy of protrusions formed in punched members with the plurality of punches is improved.

A fine blanking device and method for forming a friction plate with friction material layers. The fine blanking device includes an upper die, a lower die, a guide mechanism, a punch and a counter punch. Upper and lower blank holders are respectively provided at outer circumferences of the punch and the counter punch. The upper and lower blank holders are respectively provided with a buffer mechanism. Friction material powders are sintered on both sides of the base sheet. The friction material layers are trimmed and planished by hot pressing. The base sheet with the friction material layers is fixed by the upper blank holder and the lower blank holder. A tooth profile with an absolute shear fractural surface is formed. The fixing indentation of the V-shaped structure of the friction material layers is cut off for obtaining a finished friction plate product with the friction material layers.

A method for manufacturing a power pin of a power interface is provided. The method may includes the steps of: providing a pin workblank, wherein the pin workblank includes a first surface and a second surface adjacent to each other; performing a fine blanking process for the first surface in a predetermined blanking direction, while burrs forming on the second surface; and adjusting a position of the pin workblank, performing another fine blanking process for the second surface in the predetermined blanking direction, to form a power pin of the power interface and to omit a process of removing the burrs on the second surface. Before the step of adjusting a position of the pin workblank, the method further includes a step of forming a chamfer or a round fillet at an edge of the second surface adjacent to the first surface of the pin workblank.

A pressing portion (11) formed in a tapered conical shape pushes away a metallic material of a to-be-opened portion (5) radially outward from the radial center. A portion pushed away (2b) is work-hardened (base-material-hardened) and a density of the plate material (2) increases as compared to that of the other portion of the plate material (2). A radial dimension (c2) of a work-hardened portion at a peripheral edge of the to-be-opened portion (5) is larger than a radial dimension (c1) of the pressing portion (11) (c1<c2).
