How do the dies actually work?

The basic operation of dies are blanking, drawing, shearing, and bending. The precision die and stamping or a tool has specifically designed metal cavity on which the metal sheet is placed and this gives a preferred shape and design to the sheet. In this setting, upper part of the sheet metal stamping dies are connected to the press slide, and the lower part is connected to the press bed. Punch is one specific component that pushes the metal sheet through the die and in this way it performs the actual shaping function. On the dies, the pattern can be used to give a three dimensional lettering or embossing the name of final product as well. In this way, the metal stamping dies become heart and soul of metal stamping machines.
