STRIPPING DEVICES AND PUNCH ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A stripping device for stripping a workpiece from a punch includes a body having a sidewall that defines a bore. The bore includes a first portion and a second portion spaced at distances from an axis of the bore. The first portion is dimensioned such that the sidewall at least partially closes off one end of the body. A stripping element engages the first portion of the body and has a sidewall. A bore of the stripping element receives the punch during operation of the stripping device. A backup plug has a circular bore and is threadably secured in the bore of the body. The circular bore is sized to guide the punch into the bore of the stripping element during assembly of the stripping device onto the punch. A spring element is between the backup plug and the stripping element and includes a disc spring or a coil spring.

主权项

1. A stripping device for stripping a workpiece from a punch, the stripping device comprising:
a body having a sidewall defining a bore along a longitudinal axis, the bore having a first portion and a second portion spaced at different distances from the longitudinal axis, the first portion being dimensioned such that the sidewall at least partially closes off one end of the body relative to the second portion; a stripping element having a sidewall defining a bore and being slidably engaged with the first portion of the bore of the body along the longitudinal axis, the bore receiving the punch during operation of the stripping device; a backup plug having a circular bore and being threadably secured in the bore opposite the partially closed off end of the body, the circular bore being sized to guide the punch into the bore of the stripping element during assembly of the stripping device onto the punch; and a spring element between the backup plug and the stripping element.
