The Ball-Lock retention system is a unique adaptation of the wedge principle. It assures positive locking, both vertically and radially, and permits rapid replacement of punches or die buttons from the working side of the die assembly. Component installation is quick and simple: insert the punch or die button into the retainer hole and twist. The ball drops into the ball-seat to provide an immediate and positive lock. To remove a component, it is only necessary to depress the ball by means of a release tool. This action frees the punch or die button so that it can be pulled out of the retainer. During punch replacement, it is unnecessary to disassemble the retainer set or to remove the die assembly. If a spring-loaded stripper plate is utilized, however, removal of ÒwindowÓ inserts or the plate itself may be necessary to clear the punch shanks. The hardened backing plug distributes the punching load transmitted through the punch over a greater surface area. The reduced stress levels prevent ÒsinkingÓ of the plug into the punch holder. By virtue of its hardened condition, the backing plug resists sinking of the punch despite the high stress values imposed by the end face of the punch. The locking area of the ball-seat must be relieved by means of a diametrical reduction on the punches only.

Extremely high stresses are developed as a result of the three-point contact, and the ball-seat edges may become flattened during the punching cycle. The relief provides an area into which these minor deformations can be displaced to eliminate interference during punch removal. The retainer body contains a perpendicular hole which is a slip-fit with the punch shank or die button body. An angular ball-hole is provided adjacent to and intersecting with the component hole. It is very important to note that the ball-hole has a slightly greater angularity from the vertical than the ball-seat in the component. This angular difference helps to develop a dependable wedging action. The salient forces and their directions of application are illustrated in the assembly drawing. Vector diagrams are indicated in the satellite sketches to further illustrate the actions and reactions. A compression spring forces the hardened ball between the punch or die button and the retainer body. The spring load is applied to the ball at the angle established by the ball-hole. Resolution of the spring force into horizontal and vertical components indicates that the ball will move downward and to the left. The horizontal component forces the punch or die button against the retainer hole until all of the slip-fit clearance is adjacent to the ball.

Because the plane of contact is elevated from the horizontal, the vector components indicate the punch is also exposed to an upward force which tends to move it toward the backing plug. It is easily seen that any downward force, such as that imposed by stripping, applied to the punch can only serve to increase the wedging action. Conversely, upward thrust of the component due to application of punching load will be opposed by the backing plug.ß NAPM National Association of Punch Manufacturers.

Examination of the assembly will reveal that solid contact has been developed along section line A-A. In effect, the ball is solidly wedged between the ball-hole and the ball-seat while the punch or die button is forced against the retainer hole.

Functional Gaging Assures Interchangeability

The safe locking range is established by the permissible minimum and maximum distances of the ball from the top of the retainer. Utilization of dimensional limits relative to the ball-seat and the retention portion of the retainer body were once considered basic to the development of component standards. As the proposal activity progressed, it became apparent that a new basis for locking interchangeability was necessary. First, the angles and other physical dimensions are extremely difficult to measure. Second, the physical data for the ball-seat must be correlated with that of the retainer body to assure safe locking at assembly. Third, several combinations of dimensional limits are possible without affecting interchangeability. To specify the dimensions and tolerances used by any one manufacturer within the standard could well be disadvantageous to the others who used different combinations but still provided interchangeability. Ultimately, a system of functional gages was developed. It is used by the member companies of the NAPM.* Typical examples of these gages and their application are illustrated. Ball-lock product standards are classified into two groups: Light Duty and Heavy Duty. Light Duty components are applicable for stock thicknesses up to 3mm. Heavy Duty may be used for materials up to 10mm thick. Extra Heavy Duty is recommended for thicknesses above 10mm. Because stamped parts are made from many materials having considerable differences in hardness, the afore- mentioned thicknesses are indications only. Specific applications in critical areas should be discussed with a responsible punch manufacturer, die designer or builder before proceeding with the tooling. The classifications are based on the diameter of the hardened ball used with a specific shank size. Die buttons, incidentally, are all classified as Light Duty. The charted data should prove helpful in understanding the classifi- cation system and also lists the related functional gages.

Spring Length & Stripping Pressure

These should be calculated to a point where the working face of the stripper is flush with the cutting edge of the punches, minus the stripper plateÕs thickness. The force required to punch and the Stripping Pressure can be reduced by varying the amount of clearance between the Punch & Die.

Note: Sharpening of punches and die buttons without shimming to compensate and/or lowering the upper press ram adjustment can lead to:

(a) Increased compression of the spring, premature failure or breakage.

(b) Irregular and inconsistent die performance.

It is always better to use a higher number of springs at a lower force and percentage of travel for longer life, consistent stock control and stripping.

Strength of Materials

The function of the hole is the most important consideration.

If the hole is for clearance only, you can greatly increase punch and die life by adding maximum clearance between the punch and die. Fortunately for most metal stampers, most holes provide clearance for fasteners. These are economical holes to manufacture.

If your hole has critical specifications for a long, straight sidewall (burnish), you will need to develop the proper clearance starting with a tight clearance. At this point, you can vary the length of straight wall. Lengthen the straight sidewall by further reducing the clearance between punch and die. These are very expensive holes to manufacture!

DonÕt apply rules for #3 to #2. ItÕs very common and very expensive!

Alignment of punch to die is essential, especially for lighter gauge materials, since it will vary the clearance by the amount of misalignment. The problems wonÕt go away until the misalignment is corrected.

Much can be accomplished to improve die performance before excessive burr becomes a factor.

Corrections When Testing Cylindrical Surfaces

The Rockwell test is a measure of the resistance of the material being tested to permanent indentation. There is less lateral support to the penetrating force on a convex surface than on a flat surface. Consequently, the penetrator will sink further into the material with the result that the Rockwell hardness number will be lower on the convex surface than on a flat piece of the same material. For a concave surface (or ID) the opposite is true.

Excerpts from “Fundamentals of Rockwell Hardness Testing” courtesy Wilson Instruments, Division of Instron Corporation.

ROCKWELL HARDNESS TESTING:

Cylindrical Corrections

For diameters of 25 mm and smaller the ef fect of the curvature must be taken into consideration. Approximate ÒCylindrical Correction ValuesÓ will be found in the chart. The cylindrical corrections are added to the dial gauge or digital display reading when testing on the OD (convex surface) and subtracted when testing on the ID (concave surface). On diameters down to 6 mm the regular Rockwell scales can be used; the superficial scales can be used to 3 mm. Below 3 mm cylindrical corrections are not available, nor is Rockwell testing normally recommended. The Knoop hardness is preferred on diameters under 3 mm.

Is Coating For You?Perhaps your past experience with wear-resistant coatings was not good. Or, maybe you are one of those that have wanted to try coatings but havenÕt gotten around to it. Whatever your situation, Lane Punch wants to help you overcome your wear problems!Lane has worked with wear-resistant coatings for many years. We feel that the majority of stampers can benefit from wear resistant coatings. Production runs and tool-life can be greatly increased!

You Can Increase Punch Life & Production!

Yes, there is additional cost, but you get much more for your money, especially if your dies are Engineered to allow wear resistant coatings to help you achieve the ultimate in production runs. DonÕt count your dies out!

We Welcome The Opportunity To Discuss Your Wear Problems.To gain your confidence in the benefits of coatings, weÕll need to discuss one of your applications with you. Call any of the numbers listed below.

Gold Point ™ Wear-Resistant Coatings

Punch and Pilot "P" dimension shown is automatically engineered by Lane Punch to compensate for build-up of coating to meet customer specified dimensions & tolerances.

Die Button Ordering Example: (6) PBPO 32-35 M2 P16.4 W6.4 K2 GP

Join many satisfied users that have tried Lane Gold Point successfully in heavy wear-type applications such as:

• Light-gauge perforating punches & forming punches. In any application where material is flowing over the punch surface, the coefficient of friction is reduced, thus wear is reduced.

• Pilots. One of the most overlooked applications. When a pilot wears and looses its size due to drag on the flank of the pilot diameter, registration is lost on the finished stamping! Pilots should be coated to minimize wear and to assure longer, more accurate positioning, longer production runs.

Recommended Gold Point ™ Applications:

• Combinations. Perf. and form punches, staking punches, and/or cold heading punches.

• Tough 1:1 ratio of point diameter to material thickness situations or heavy gauge, fine flow applications.

• Severe stripping problems of non-ferrous materials: Gold Pointing helps reduce surface galling during entry and withdrawal.

• Pre-painted stock (especially white) and high-silicone content materials.

• Troublesome abrasive galvanized materials.

• Glass epoxy with interrupted and continuous fibres and other abrasive material applications.

1. Penetration of the coating downward into the die buttonÕs P&W is proportionate to the size of the hole. Guideline is 1 to 1.5 times the P or W dimension, whichever is smaller.

2. Outside diameter "D" and internal dimensions "P & W" are automatically engineered by Lane Punch to accomodate coating build-up to meet customer specified dimensions and tolerances.

In-Die-Position Orientation

The flat on the very end of every punch, regardless of itÕs shape, is probably the most critical of punch surfaces.

Always examine the ends of new punches. If they are turned to size or coarse ground, the number of stress risers are many, each a possible fracture point.

You wouldnÕt tolerate other surfaces to be coarsely ground! Why would anyone accept anything less on the end where the punch first contacts the stock?

ItÕs not surprising that some punches chip or crack a short time after insertion, while others fracture now, break later.

If youÕve experienced this problem, youÕll be pleased to know that Lane Punch does what good die builders do. We end-grind to a 0.6 µmRa finish the ends of all punches to remove any nicks, dings and stress risers prior to shipping it to you.

When Lane ships your punch Ñ itÕs r eady to go into your die and into production!
