| 摘要 |
This invention includes a method of determining the correct timing of a material release mechanism ( 42 ) of a material feed mechanism ( 14 ) and includes the steps of: cycling a press mechanism ( 12 ) through a working portion of a tooling mechanism ( 17 ); monitoring the press mechanism ( 12 ) position; determining, by a location device ( 58 ), the desired timing for the material release mechanism ( 42 ) to release contact with material ( 18 ); and correlating the desired material release mechanism ( 42 ) timing to the press mechanism ( 12 ) position. The present invention also is a stamping system ( 10 ) for working the material ( 18 ). This stamping system ( 10 ) includes a press mechanism ( 12 ) having a tooling mechanism ( 17 ) configured to punch holes ( 66 ) in the material ( 18 ). The stamping system ( 10 ) also includes a material feed mechanism ( 14 ) to feed material ( 18 ) to the press mechanism ( 12 ), and this material feed mechanism ( 14 ) includes a material release mechanism ( 42 ). Finally, the stamping system ( 10 ) includes a location device ( 58 ) to monitor the press mechanism ( 12 ) position and determine desired material release mechanism ( 42 ) timing.
