Abstract

In a device for breaking out a workpiece ( 3 ) from a material sheet ( 2 ) through an opening ( 4 ) of a die ( 1 ) by means of a breakout tool ( 5 ), the die ( 1 ) is to have a plug-in unit ( 22 ), wherein a breakout module ( 9.1 - 9.4 ) is insertable into the plug-in unit ( 22 ), wherein the breakout module ( 9.1 - 9.4 ) is composed of an insert ( 10 ) and of a module lobe ( 11 ), wherein the insert ( 10 ) has a surface ( 16 ) and a shearing edge ( 17 ), wherein the shearing edge ( 17 ) toward a bearing face ( 12 ) of the module lobe ( 11 ) configures an offcut length ( 18 ), and wherein the offcut length has a height (h) of 0.8 mm to 1.8 mm, and preferably of 1.5 mm.

Claims (15)

1. Device for breaking out a workpiece ( 3 ) from a material sheet ( 2 ) through an opening ( 4 ) of a die ( 1 ) by means of a breakout tool ( 5 ), wherein the die ( 1 ) has a plug-in unit ( 22 ), wherein a breakout module ( 9 . 1 - 9 . 4 ) is insertable into the plug-in unit ( 22 ),

wherein the breakout module ( 9 . 1 - 9 . 4 ) is composed of an insert ( 10 ) and of a module lobe ( 11 ) having a bearing face ( 12 ) for receiving the workpiece ( 3 ) after breaking out,

wherein the insert ( 10 ) has a surface ( 16 ) and a shearing edge ( 17 ),

wherein the shearing edge ( 17 ) faces toward the bearing face ( 12 ) and an offcut surface extending from the shearing edge ( 17 ) to the bearing face ( 12 ) and defining an offcut length ( 18 ), and

wherein the offcut length has a height (h) from the surface ( 16 ) to the bearing face ( 12 ) of 0.8 mm to 1.8 mm, and

wherein the module lobe ( 11 ) is at least partially resilient.

2. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the height (h) is 1.5 mm.

3. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the breakout module ( 9 . 1 - 9 . 4 ) which reduces an available width (w) of the opening ( 4 ) is disposed in the opening ( 4 ).

4. Device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two breakout modules ( 9 . 1 - 9 . 4 ) are provided in the opening ( 4 ), wherein the breakout modules ( 9 . 1 - 9 . 4 ) are mutually opposite.

5. Device according to at least claim 1 , wherein the module lobe ( 11 ) has a beveled and/or rounded sliding face ( 14 ).

6. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the module lobe ( 11 ) opposite the bearing face ( 12 ) configures a collar ( 19 ) which leads into a main body ( 20 ) of the insert ( 10 ).

7. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the breakout tool ( 5 ) has breakout pins ( 6 ) or breakout strips ( 7 ) by way of which the workpiece ( 3 ) is impingeable with pressure.

8. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the module lobe ( 11 ) defines an upwardly facing rounded sliding face which is convex toward the workpiece ( 3 ).

9. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the offcut surface is a substantially vertical side surface connecting the surface ( 16 ) and the bearing face ( 12 ).

10. Device according to claim 9 , wherein the offcut surface is connected to the surface ( 16 ) through the shearing edge ( 17 ).
