Method using punching and scoring tool for production of scored punched parts

A method for producing scored punched parts from a material sheet, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a carrier board having an underside on which punching elements and scoring elements are mounted, a punching/scoring plate arranged under said carrier board, the punching/scoring plate having scoring grooves which are positioned under said scoring elements, said scoring grooves having groove bottoms, said carrier board being vertically moveable with respect to said punching/scoring plate, said scoring elements having an initial position in which said scoring elements and said punching elements are spaced from said punching/scoring plate, said scoring elements in said initial position projecting farther from the underside of said carrier board toward said punching/scoring plate than said punching elements, said scoring elements mounted on said carrier board by vertically resilient means having a restoring force;
• positioning the material sheet on an upper surface of said punching/scoring plate;
• forming scores in said material sheet by drawing material of said material sheet into said scoring grooves by said scoring elements through movement of said carrier board carrying said scoring elements toward said punching/scoring plate;
• punching out parts by moving said punching elements through said material sheet until said punching elements strike said punching/scoring plate;
• wherein the step of forming scores further comprises causing said material drawn into said grooves to contact said groove bottoms causing compression of said material between said scoring elements and said groove bottoms to begin by the time said punching elements first contact an upper surface of said material sheet.
