METHOD OF DETECTING MISSTRIP FOR PUNCHING MACHINE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting mis-strippings in a press having a ram and upper and lower tools for punching workpieces. The apparatus comprises an electric circuit which is closed when the ram and the upper tool are in contact with each other. A relay is provided in the electric circuit and is actuated when the ram and the upper tool are brought out of contact with each other when the ram is returning from a bottom dead-center position to a top dead-center position. Also, a contact in the relay is connected with a main circuit for driving the press.
