Modelling and Analysis of a Progressive Cam Tool for Blade Fuse Holder: A Case Study

Sheet metal segments delivered from press working find wide applications in the territories going from telephonic gadgets to space stations. To design a progressive tool for sheet metal components according to the given details is a testing assignment. This article covers design and modelling of a progressive cam press tool for the component blade fuse holder, which is used in the Printed circuit boards of cars. Few very essential basics of press tools are briefly mentioned. The design and modelling process begins with the careful examination of the component geometry and material specifications. The tool development and modelling of the tool carried out by modelling software Solid Works are provided in detail. Points of interest and detriments of progressive tools over stage tools are additionally spotlighted.
