Computer Aided Design & Analysis of Press Tools for a Thermostat Lever Component

Authors:Suvarna Babu. R Bhojendra Naik M, Paramesh T

Abstract: Press tools are the devices by which the sheet metal can be converted into required shape by various press operations. This process is also called cold stamping. It can also be defined as a device used for punching out sheet metal components from the stock strip. JDP TOOL TECH has got a project to design press tools for thermostat lever. Levers are used in the lever mechanism of thermostat. A thermostat is a device for automatically operating an electrical switching mechanism in response to sensed changes in temperature. The position of a lever mechanism responsive to the remote temperature sensor controls the point at which the switching mechanism is actuated in response to a certain movement of the lever mechanism. The prime objective of the paper is to design progressive and bending tools or dies that combines maximum production to produce the component and least maintenance with “lowest feasible cost, that exceeds the expectations of the customer in aspects like Quality, Cost, for the desired life.
