Abstract:
This research presented a new method for the mass production of a high quality, low cost, sheet metal products using a die, press and transferring mechanism.
The research presented a definition of the tool (die), its design, its parts and the types which differ as per the products and operations concerned.
The researcher selected the progressive die used for mass production, for more elaborated studies because it combines a number of die design and function in one frame. The researcher also discusses the maximum use of raw material (strip layout).
One of the Yarmouk Industrial Complex products formally produced by five individual dies. Anew one progressive die was designed for this product, using the well known package (VISI 15) software dedicated for sheet metal products die and mould design.
