Strip retainer and stripper for stamping and forming machine.

摘要

Retainer and stripper (18) which is used on a stamping and forming machine for stripping or removing the stock material (2) from the pilot pins (14) and punches (8) when the punches and pilot pins move from their closed positions to their open positions, comprises one or more wires (18) in the operating zone of the machine. Each wire (18) extends transversely across, and intersects, the path of reciprocation of the punch assembly (4). The wire (18) does not intersect the path of reciprocation of the pilot pins (14) or the punches (8) and is located between the punches and pilot pins and the surface of the stock material (2). The ends (20) of the wire (18) extend beyond the path of reciprocation of the punch assembly (4) and are secured by fixed securing devices (22).
