Simple Die

Understanding Simple Dies

A simple die is the most basic type of stamping die used in press working. Its defining characteristic is that it performs only one operation during a single stroke of the press ram. Common examples include:

• Blanking Die: Cuts the outer profile of a part from a sheet metal strip or coil. The cut-out piece is the desired product (the blank).
• Piercing Die (Punching Die): Creates holes or openings within a sheet metal part. The material removed (the slug) is scrap.
• Notching Die: Cuts away material from the edge of a strip or blank.

Key Advantages:

• Lower Initial Cost: Simpler design translates to lower manufacturing costs compared to progressive or compound dies.
• Easier Design & Build: Less complexity in construction.
• Simpler Maintenance: Easier to sharpen, repair, and maintain individual components.
• Flexibility: Can be used as standalone tools or as stages in a sequence of operations using multiple simple dies.

Limitations:

• Lower production rate compared to multi-station dies for complex parts.
• May require multiple setups and handling if several operations are needed on one part.
