When buying a C Frame Mechanical Punch Press, there are several factors to consider:
- Design and Working Principle: The design of a punch press is based on the principle of converting circular motion into linear motion. The flywheel is powered by the main motor, while the gears, crankshaft, or eccentric gear, and connecting rod are driven by the clutch to produce the linear motion of the slider.
- Types of Punch Presses: Punch presses can be classified by slider driving force into mechanical and hydraulic types. The majority of general sheet metal stamping processes utilize mechanical presses. Based on the movement mode of the slider, there are single-action, double-action, and triple-action punch presses.
- Selection Based on Stamped Part Product Type: A C-frame punch is suitable for small to medium-sized metal blanking parts, bending parts, or shallow drawing parts. However, the elastic deformation of its frame can compromise the uniform distribution of the die gap, affecting the accuracy of the finished stamped products and reducing the lifespan of the die.
- Selection Based on Stamping Part Production Efficiency: When manual feeding is used, it is important not to choose a stamping press with too many strokes. During automatic stamping, a punch with more strokes should be selected whenever possible.
- Budget and Return on Investment: It’s important to consider the finished products being manufactured, the type of stamping die, the stamping process characteristics, production efficiency, and investment budget.
Remember to do careful research and consideration before making a purchase to ensure a positive return on investment.
