Method and device for producing a stripping tool
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a device ( 1 ) which is suitable for producing a stripping tool. Said device comprises —a control unit ( 2 ), —a receiving portion ( 3 ) for a stripper plate ( 4 ), —a stripper flat-strip insertion device ( 5 ), and —a stripper pin insertion device ( 6 ).
1. A method for producing a stripping tool, comprising:
arranging a stripper plate on a receiving component;
forming at least one slit along a surface of the stripper plate at a prescribed position;
locating a stripper flat-strip in relation to the at least one slit or the stripper plate through relative motion between a stripper flat-strip insertion device connected to the stripper flat-strip and the stripper plate or the receiving component;
placing the stripper flat-strip into the at least one slit of the stripper plate to connect the stripper flat-strip thereto;
upon placement of the stripper flat-strip into the at least one slit of the stripper plate, positioning at least one stripper pin along the stripper plate by movement of a stripper pin insertion device with respect to the stripper plate or the receiving component; and
urging the at least one stripper pin into at least a portion of the stripper plate sufficient to mount the at least one stripper pin to the stripper plate.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a plurality of slits along the surface of the stripper plate at a series of predetermined locations.
3. The method of claim 2 , placing at least one stripper flat strip into each of the plurality of slits formed along the surface of the stripper plate.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically mounting a plurality of stripper pins to the stripper plate.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
forming a plurality of holes in the stripper plate; and
driving each stripper pin of the plurality of stripper pins into a corresponding hole of the plurality of holes.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising driving a plurality of stripper pins directly into at least a portion of the stripper plate.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the stripper flat-strip from a magazine using the stripper flat-strip insertion device.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the at least one stripper pin from a magazine using the stripper pin insertion device.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a portion of the at least one slit in the stripper plate; and
conveying the position of the at least one slit to a control unit.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stripper flat-strip comprises a stripper point that has a fluting.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stripper pin comprises a groove and a cavity on an end thereof.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stripper flat-strip comprises a shoulder configured to enable the stripper flat strip to be retained by the stripper flat-strip insertion device or to control an insertion depth of the stripper flat-strip into the stripper plate.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stripper flat-strip comprises one or more notches formed therein to enable relaxation of the stripper plate after connection of the stripper flat-strip thereto.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stripper flat-strip has a cutting edge that facilitates penetration of the strip flat-strip into the stripper plate.
15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising at least partially inserting a shoulder of the stripper pin into the stripper plate.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the shoulder of the stripper pin comprises a groove at least partially defined therein to facilitate relaxation of the stripper plate after insertion of the stripper pin into the stripper plate.
