A PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING BRAKE SHOE WEBS

摘要

A process and a system for manufacturing brake shoe webs: The novel technology of manufacturing brake shoe webs by forming process resulting in substantial reduction of waste material. The forming process comprises the following steps: (a) Feeding a metal strip (10) as specified into a hydraulic press (b) Forming using specially developed tool such that the web undergoes radial forming operation across the cross-sectional strip and gets formed when the ram (15) of hydraulic press descend with a force on the job, (c) Taking out the formed web from the hydraulic press for execution of second operation (d) Cropping and punching the hole in the web with the help of a mechanical press and special press tool leading to formation of brake shoe web. The invention also covers a system to execute the aforesaid process.
