Development of Turret Punch Cutting Tool Using Reverse Engineering Method

摘要

This paper presents the reverse engineering technique udto develop turret punch cutting tool for Trumatic TC2020R udFMC machine. Different shear angle being tested to investigate udthe cutting process and tool wear. Result shows that 12oud cutting udtool has the highest tools life with poor performance. Cutting udtool with 4.5oud to 6.5o udshear angle obtains lower tool life and udbetter performance compare with 12o udshear angle. By increasing udthe shearing angle, it will reduce the stress on the tool.
