How a Flat Steel Sheet Becomes a Car Door | The Machine Behind It 02 #Shorts

#Shorts
A flat steel sheet becomes a car door in seconds. The machine behind it: a line of press dies.

OP 10 Draw – stretches the shape
OP 20 Trim – cuts the edges
OP 30 Pierce – punches the holes
OP 40 Flange – folds the rim

Each station has a punch and a die in hardened tool steel, driven by a press of 1,000 tonnes or more. The gap between punch and die is only about 0.05 mm for a 0.8 mm door sheet. Too tight and the tool cracks; too loose and the edges burr. Steel also springs back, so the die is made to over-bend it.

Bonnets, roof panels, steel almirahs, cooker bodies and AC panels are made the same way.

Toolmakers build these dies. At ISTC:
• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Tool & Die) – 3 years
• Advanced Diploma in Die & Mould Making – 4 years

FIND THE DIE BEHIND IT.
