Abstract

This paper assists the die designer to design press tool dies for the online maintenance in the press itself and to reduce the tool failure due to the dynamic actions of the press tool in the press. In the proposed die design the parts such as punch, punch holder, stripper, die and the die inserts can be removed in the press itself without disturbing the die set. The route chart of the die (tool) maintenance can be decreased by implementing the methodology. The proposed approach increases the productivity by adopting more feasibility to attend online maintenance, and reduce the overall productivity hours.
