STRIP LAYOUT
A strip lay-out is made to determine the strip width and pitch.
STRIP LAYOUT
The bridge width between the parts and the edge allowance
between the part and the edge of the strip have to be selected to
meet the following requirements:
a) The V-Ring has to have enough space
b) Arrange for optimum usage of the material
c) The skeleton must have enough strength to allow feeding the strip.
Complex contours or sections that require smooth edges, should
be located on the in-feed side of the strip (arrow) because the solid
strip is more rigid than the bridge between the parts.
STRIP LAYOUT
An edge allowance that is smaller than indicated in the table below
can be selected if the edge allows die break or if the section that runs
parallel to the edge of the strip is shorter than 5 x stock thickness (L <
5s).
The optimum pitch, i.e. the smallest possible bridge width can be
determined in tests. Very often the V-Rings can overlap without a
negative effect on the surface quality of the sheared edge.
