Abstract
A forming system includes a trim blade 7 for cutting off a sheet material 2 provided between a lower die 60 and an upper die 66, a first lower plate 81 provided outside a first lower die end 60a in a side view of the lower die 60, and a first upper plate 85 provided outside an upper die end 66a, configured to reciprocatively move together with the upper die 66 and extending toward the first lower plate 81. A cut plane of the blade 7 intersects a first excess edge portion 25 which is a portion of the sheet material 2 outside the lower die end 60a, and at least a portion of the excess edge portion 25 is sandwiched between the first lower plate 81 and the first upper plate 85 in a state in which the lower die 60 and the upper die 66 are clamped.
Claims11
A forming system, comprising:
- a lower die;
- an upper die reciprocatively movable toward and away from the lower die;
- a trim blade for cutting a sheet material provided between the lower die and the upper die;
- a lower plate provided outside an end of the lower die in a side view of the lower die and extending toward the upper die;
- and
- an upper plate provided outside an end of the upper die in a side view of the upper die, the upper plate configured to reciprocatively move together with the upper die and extending toward the lower plate, wherein
- a cut plane of the trim blade intersects an excess edge portion of the sheet material extending outside the lower die end,
- at least a portion of the excess edge portion is sandwiched between the lower plate and the upper plate in a state in which the lower die and the upper die are clamped together,
- a slit-shaped lower guide portion and a slit-shaped upper guide portion extending along the cut plane are formed in the lower plate and the upper plate, respectively, and
- the trim blade cuts the excess edge portion by moving in the lower guide portion and the upper guide portion.
A forming system, comprising:
- a lower die;
- an upper die reciprocatively movable toward and away from the lower die;
- a trim blade for cutting a sheet material provided between the lower die and the upper die;
- a lower plate provided outside an end of the lower die in a side view of the lower die and extending toward the upper die;
- and
- an upper plate provided outside an end of the upper die in a side view of the upper die, the upper plate configured to reciprocatively move together with the upper die and extending toward the lower plate, wherein
- a cut plane of the trim blade intersects an excess edge portion of the sheet material extending outside the lower die end,
- at least a portion of the excess edge portion is sandwiched between the lower plate and the upper plate in a state in which the lower die and the upper die are clamped together,
- the lower die includes a first lower die surface on which a first base material is placed, and a second lower die surface on which a second base material is placed,
- each of the first and second base materials is adhered to the sheet material by clamping together the lower die and the upper die, and
- the trim blade cuts the sheet material between the first lower die surface and the second lower die surface in plan view to thereby divide the sheet material into a first product portion to which the first base material is adhered and a second product portion to which the second base material is adhered.
A forming system, comprising:
- a lower die;
- an upper die reciprocatively movable in a clamping direction toward and away from the lower die;
- a trim blade for cutting a sheet material provided between the lower die and the upper die;
- a lower plate provided outside an end of the lower die in a side view of the lower die and extending toward the upper die;
- and
- an upper plate provided outside an end of the upper die in a side view of the upper die, the upper plate configured to reciprocatively move together with the upper die and extending toward the lower plate, wherein
- a cut plane of the trim blade intersects an excess edge portion of the sheet material extending outside the lower die end, and
- in a state in which the lower die and the upper die are clamped together, a lower end portion of the upper plate is lower than an upper end portion of the lower plate in the clamping direction, and at least an edge side of the excess edge portion is sandwiched between planar portions extended in the clamping direction of the lower plate and the upper plate.
