Core Drill Principle- Core drills machine a fraction of the material compared to twist drills, resulting in significant savings in machining volume and reduced drilling times.
Specifications and Procedures:
When cutting aluminum, it is recommended to use paraffin wax or paraffin. The cutting speed can be calculated using the formula: vc = (π x d x n) / 1000, where n is the speed in revolutions per minute and d is the tool diameter in millimeters.
Material Thickness and Hole Diameter Ratio:
The document discusses the importance of maintaining a specific ratio between material thickness and hole or punch diameter. Traditionally, the punch die should be equal to or larger than the material thickness. However, with ALFRA APS punching units, holes can be punched with a diameter smaller than the material thickness. A recommended ratio for punching in S235 steel is 1:1.3, with an upper limit of 1:1.7.
Punching Force and Material Strength:
The document provides examples of calculating the required punching force using different materials and punch diameters. For instance, using a punching unit APS 70 with a punch diameter of 20 mm and material C 45, the force required is 321.3 kN. If the force exceeds the maximum capacity, a more powerful unit like APS 120 is recommended.
Pressure Conversion:
The document includes a conversion table for pressure units, detailing conversions between bar, psi, and other units.
General Recommendations:
To avoid issues such as stamp breakage, ensure the correct S/D diameter ratio, proper alignment of the material, and correct scraper settings. ALFRA punch dies are made from high-quality materials, but improper use can lead to damage.
