    An offset die is used to bend sheet metal into a Z-shape in one stroke. It is a specialized tool that uses a combination punch and die set. The document discusses sheet metal forming processes and different types of dies used in sheet metal fabrication, including V-dies, rotary bending dies, 90 degree dies, acute angle dies, gooseneck dies, and offset dies. The project involves designing and fabricating an offset die to perform consecutive bending of sheet metal.

    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF OFFSET DIE

    Synopsis
    A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing industries to cut or shape material
    using a press. Like molds, dies are generally customized to the item they are used
    to create. Products made with dies range from simple paper clips to complex pieces
    used in advanced technologySheet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat
    pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and can be cut
    and bent into a variety of different shapes. Countless everyday objects are
    constructed of the material. Thicknesses can vary significantly, although extremely
    thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in)
    are considered plate.
    The raw material for sheet metal manufacturing processes is the output of the
    rolling process. Typically, sheets of metal are sold as flat, rectangular sheets of
    standard size. If the sheets are thin and very long, they may be in the form of rolls.
    Therefore the first step in any sheet metal process is to cut the correct shape and sized
    blank from larger sheet.
    Sheet metal processes can be broken down into two major classifications and
    one minor classification

    Shearing processes -- processes which apply shearing forces to cut,


    fracture, or separate the material.

    Forming processes -- processes which cause the metal to undergo desired


    shape changes without failure, excessive thinning, or cracking.
    includes bending and stretching.

    This

    Finishing processes -- processes which are used to improve the final surface
    characteristics.

    Dies
    Press brake can be used for many different forming jobs with the right die design.
    Types of dies include:[3]

    V-diesthe most common type of die. The bottom dies can be made with
    different-sized die openings to handle a variety of materials and bend angles.

    Rotary bending diesa cylindrical shape with an 88-degree V-notch cut


    along its axis is seated in the "saddle" of the punch.The die is an anvil over
    which the rocker bends the sheet.

    90 degree dieslargely used for bottoming operations. The die opening


    dimension depends on material thickness.

    Acute angle (air-bending) diesused in air bending, these can actually be


    used to produce acute, 90 degree, and obtuse angles by varying how deeply
    the punch enters the die by adjusting the ram.

    Gooseneck (return-flanging) diesThe punch is designed to allow for


    clearance of already formed flanges

    Offset diesa combination punch and die set that bends two angles in one
    stroke to produce a Z shape.

    In this project we have been decided to fabricate the offset die for consequent
    bending.
