12. Guide pin
A guide pin is a pin shaped component that extends into a material hole to guide its position in the concave mold.
13. Guide plate mold
A guide plate die is a punching die that uses the guide plate as the guide, and the punch does not detach from the guide plate when the die is used.
14. Material guide plate
The guide plate is a plate shaped guide component that guides the strip (strip, roll) material into the concave mold.
15. Guide pillar mold base Guide pillar mold base is a mold base that slides between the guide pillar and guide sleeve. (Refer to "Mold Base").
16. Stamping die
A stamping die is a process equipment installed on a press for producing stamping parts, consisting of two parts that cooperate with each other: the upper and lower parts.
17. Punch
A punch is a convex working part in a stamping die that directly forms a punch, that is, a part with an external shape as the working surface.
18. Concave mold
A concave die is a concave working part in a stamping die that directly forms a punching part, that is, a part with an inner shape as the working surface.
19. Protective board
A protective plate is a plate like component that prevents fingers or foreign objects from entering the dangerous area of the die.
20. Pressing plate (circle)
A pressure plate (ring) is a component used in a stamping die to hold down stamping materials or process parts to control material flow. In a deep drawing die, the pressure plate is mostly referred to as a pressure ring.
21. Pressing reinforcement
Pressing ribs are rib like protrusions used to control material flow in a drawing or deep drawing die. Pressing ribs can be a local structure of a concave die or pressing ring, or can be individual parts embedded in the concave die or pressing ring.
22. Material pressing sill
The press material sill is a special name for the press material reinforcement with a rectangular cross-section. Refer to "Pressure bar".
23. Material support plate
A bearing plate is a plate-shaped component used to extend the upper plane of a concave die and support stamping materials.
24. Continuous mold
A continuous die is a stamping die with two or more workstations, in which the material is fed into each workstation step by step with the press stroke, thereby gradually forming the stamped part.
25. Side blade
The side edge is a convex die that cuts a feeding positioning gap on the side of a strip (strip, roll) of material.
26. Side pressure plate
Side pressure plate is a plate-shaped component that applies pressure to one side of a strip (strip, coil) material through a spring, causing the other side to lean against the guide plate.
27. Jacking rod
Ejector is a rod-shaped component that directly or indirectly ejects workpieces or waste materials with an upward motion.
28. Top plate
The top plate is a plate-shaped component that moves within a concave mold or module, directly or indirectly ejecting work (sequence) or waste materials through upward movement.
29. Ring gear
The gear ring is a circular toothed protrusion on a precision punching die or toothed press plate, which is a local structure of the die or toothed press plate rather than a separate component.
30. Limit sleeve
A limit sleeve is a tubular component used to limit the minimum closing height of a stamping die, usually placed outside the guide pillar.
31. Limit column
A limit post is a cylindrical component that limits the minimum closing height of a stamping die.
32. Positioning pin (plate)
A positioning pin (plate) is a component that ensures that the process part has a fixed position in the mold, and is called a positioning pin or plate due to its different shape.
33. Fixed plate
A fixed plate is a plate-shaped component that fixes a punch.
34. Fixed discharge plate
Fixed discharge plate is a discharge plate that is fixed in a fixed position on the die. (Refer to "Discharging Plate").
35. Fixed retaining pin (plate)
Fixed retaining pin (plate) is a fixed retaining pin (plate) inside the mold. (Refer to "Retaining Pin (Plate)").
36. Unloader
The unloader is a non plate shaped part or device that unloads workpieces from the outer surface of the punch.
37. Discharging plate
A discharge plate is a fixed or movable plate shaped component that unloads materials or workpieces from a convex mold. The discharge plate is sometimes integrated with the guide plate and also plays a guiding role, still known as the discharge plate.
38. Discharging screw
