True-Position Retainers
This illustrated booklet describes the
features, benefits, and value of working with True-Position
Ball Lock Punch & Matrix retainers. A comparison of
End & Square Retainers with Backing Plates is
covered, along with the inherent problems associated with
these products.
Through the years ball lock components have been
continually refined to improve precision and reliability.
The most significant improvement was the introduction of
the backing plug with in-line primary dowel. This change
eliminated the need for a backing plate. Backing Plugs
along with many other features introduced by Dayton
Progress are discussed in the program.
Birth
of a Hole
Perforating Basics
The
dynamics of the perforating process is often considered
to be a simple two step process of driving a punch
through a piece of sheet steel and then withdrawal of the
punch form the hole.
There are in fact six steps to perforating a hole. Each
step contains elements critical to the overall process.
An understanding of these steps will assist in the
selection of die construction, tool steels, and punch to
die clearance. Order this
booklet or view online.
Change Retainer 
A new retainer for ball lock and head type punches allows different hole patterns to be produced in one die—without costly downtime. An air cylinder attached to the retainer activates a slide that holds the punch in place. Upon retracting the slide the punch moves up out of the way when a hole is not needed in that location.
There is no need to insert your hands into the press. The retainers can be activated from a control panel. The switches to direct the air could be laid out on the panel in the same pattern as the desired holes for ease of operation. It is much safer than other methods.
