Abstract
A method includes removing material from a die and thereby changing a location of a cutting edge of the die in a punch entry direction and changing a cutting edge cross-section of the die; and assigning a punch and/or a workpiece thickness to the die based, at least in part, on the change in the cutting edge cross-section of the die.
Claims12
A reprocessed die,
- wherein a height of the reprocessed die, measured in a punch entry direction, differs from a height, in the punch entry direction, of a predecessor die that was reprocessed to produce the reprocessed die, and
- wherein the reprocessed die is provided with a punch assignment or a workpiece thickness assignment based, at least in part, on a change in a cutting edge cross-section of the reprocessed die relative to the predecessor die.
