Deep drawing and rubber pad forming set-ups

Equipment

The image describes the process of rubber pad forming and its uses. Rubber pad forming is a metal working process where sheet metal is pressed between a die and a rubber block made of polyurethane. Under pressure, the rubber and sheet metal are driven into the die and conform to its shape, forming the part. Circular, square and rectangular cups, flanges etc. can be produced with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. Using the deep drawing and rubber pad forming methods, optimum blank shape, blank-holder pressure lubricant, die geometry etc. can be studied for different materials.
