Take your tool design to the next level with our unique Punch Die with lever mechanism and magazine feed system. This CAD drawing showcases a specialized approach to manual or semi-automated production, where a magazine-fed workpiece is positioned and punched using a mechanical advantage lever. This type of tooling is highly efficient for secondary operations or low-to-medium volume production runs where a fully automated progressive press line may not be cost-effective.
This resource provides a detailed look at the kinematics of the lever assembly, which is engineered to multiply input force, allowing for the clean punching of various material gauges with minimal effort. The integrated magazine system ensures a consistent supply of blanks, reducing cycle times and improving operator safety by keeping hands away from the point of operation. By downloading this drawing, you can study the spring-loaded escapement mechanism that releases one part at a time into the die nest. Whether you are building a custom shop tool or studying complex mechanical linkages, this blueprint offers a robust technical foundation. MechStream is proud to offer these innovative engineering assets for free, helping you bridge the gap between simple hand tools and complex industrial machinery.
Key Features:
- High-Leverage Linkage: Optimized lever arm ratios designed to provide maximum punching force with ergonomic handle pressure.
- Gravity-Fed Magazine: Features a vertical magazine stack for easy loading and consistent part orientation.
- Precision Escapement: A specialized slide mechanism that ensures only one workpiece enters the die per cycle.
- Adjustable Depth Stops: Includes customizable stroke limits to ensure consistent punch depth and prevent tool collision.
- Rapid Tool Changeover: Designed with modular punch and die inserts for quickly switching between different hole sizes or shapes.
