Multiple Punch and Die Assembly Providing Hand Disassembly, Punch Length Adjustment and Replacement

Номер: US20120199642A1
Автор: Bruce M. Thielges, Joseph C. Schneider
Принадлежит: Mate Precision Tooling Inc

A multiple punch and multiple die assembly has a workpiece protector as a punch lifter that is operatively associated with each punch for supporting each of the punches in an inactive position as an active punch is moved by the ram to the active, i.e. operating position to thereby eliminate scoring or marking of the sheet material or other workpiece that is being punched. To eliminate the need for hand tools and hand assembly or disassembly, a manually moveable retainer on the punch assembly is provided that can be moved by hand between a punch-releasing and punch-retaining position for holding the punches within the multi-punch assembly during operation. To prevent stress fractures that formerly occurred in die carriers, support of each die is distributed between two different die components thereby reducing impact stress on the carrier as the ram drives the punch through the workpiece.

Принадлежит:

A method and apparatus for centering a casing section in a wellbore. A centralizer includes a plurality of centralizer bow springs arranged between and around circumferences of end bands. The end bands are arranged over stop collars such that the end bands can rotate about and slide along the stop collars. At least one stop collar includes a radially-inward-extending lug that engages a groove in the stop collar. The groove limits the amount by which the end band can slide relative to the stop collar. When the centralizer is lowered into a wellbore, an interference between the lug in the end band and the groove in the stop collar can pull the centralizer into the wellbore. The pulling force can prevent the centralizer bow springs from expanding radially outward due to contact forces with edges of the wellbore. 1. A centralizer assembly for a wellbore , the centralizer comprising:a cylindrical body that includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the cylindrical body defines a longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end;a first stop collar arranged around the cylindrical body, wherein the first stop collar includes a first circumferential groove arranged on an exterior surface of the first stop collar, and wherein the first circumferential groove extends along the longitudinal axis;a second stop collar arranged around the cylindrical body and spaced apart from the first stop collar; and a first end band arranged around the first stop collar, wherein the first end band can slide along the longitudinal axis relative to the first stop collar, wherein the first end band includes a first lug that extends into the first circumferential groove;', 'a second end band arranged around the second stop collar, wherein the second end band can slide along the longitudinal axis relative to the second stop collar; and', 'a plurality of centralizer bow springs arranged between the first end band and the second end band., 'a centralizer that ...

STAMPING TO FORM A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE OF DISSIMILAR MATERIALS HAVING STRUCTURED FEATURES

A composite structure includes a base and an auxiliary portion of dissimilar materials. The auxiliary portion is shaped by stamping. As the auxiliary portion is stamped, it interlocks with the base, and at the same time forming a desired structured feature on the auxiliary portion, such as a structured reflective surface, an alignment feature, etc. With this approach, relatively less critical structured features can be shaped on the bulk of the base with less effort to maintain a relatively larger tolerance, while the relatively more critical structured features on the auxiliary portion are more precisely shaped with further considerations to define dimensions, geometries and/or finishes at relatively smaller tolerances. The auxiliary portion may include a composite structure of two dissimilar materials associated with different properties for stamping different structured features.

Method and apparatus for forming a can end with controlled thinning of formed portions of the can end

Номер: US20160016224A1
Автор: Stephen B. Turner
Принадлежит: Alfons Haar Inc

A can end blank is initially cupped and a central portion of the cup is rolled up with an annular portion of the cup being free formed with limited contact with any tooling except to prevent wrinkling, to prevent overextension of the free formed material and to define a final geometry of the free formed material as the forming press reaches a bottom of its forming stroke. The free forming is performed by controlling the motion of a pre-panel punch using a double action piston so that the pre-panel punch is selectively moved between an extended position for formation of a cup of a cupped can end blank and a retracted position for free forming material between a central portion of the cup and a clamped portion of the cupped can end blank.
