| This
part was stamped using a 3-station progressive GRIPflow®
Tool. The material is a low carbon hot rolled steel (SAE 1008/1010). Section “A” required minimum die-roll and we were able to eliminate approximately 95% of the die-roll. The material thickness is 0.315” while the two small holes are 0.215 +/- 0.002” (68% of the material thickness). All three holes were pierced in the GRIPflow® die. The part is used in a “switching mechanism” assembly within the Electrical Industry. GRIPflow® was an economical alternate to milling the area around Section “A” and drilling the three holes. |
