Ring tongue clamping die |
摘要 |
A self-actuating tooling die located beneath an industrial press impact zone clamps a the tongue of an end ring side-to-side to hold it dimensionally stable during a pressing operation that clinches a nut to a hole in the tongue. The tooling die comprises a cone-shaped split collet fitted into a corresponding cone-shaped receptacle in the die housing. As the installation force of the press forces the collet into the receptacle, jaws of the collet grip the tongue a corresponding amount. At a pre-determined point of advancement, the collet bottoms out against a stop in the socket to hold the tongue in its pre-installation relaxed shape and size. A spring-loaded stepped pin, which reciprocates within an axial bore of the die, centers the nut and hole in the tongue during installation and later ejects the completed assembly. |

1. Press tooling for attaching a fastener to a workpiece, comprising:
a die with a housing having a tapered socket with downwardly convergent sides; a collet within said housing vertically moveable between an upward release position and a downward clamping position, the clamping position defined by the collet's contact with a bottom end wall of said socket, said collet having tapered sides convergent in the downward direction; laterally moveable jaws on said collet for clamping the workpiece; a first spring in said die housing for upwardly biasing said collet to the release position; and, a vertically reciprocal pin located within an axial bore in said die housing, said pin biased in the upward direction by a second spring, said pin being upwardly extendable between said jaws and having means at a distal top end thereof for holding a fastener. |
