How to deal with scrap jumping in stamping production?

Scrap jumping is a common issue in stamping production. It would cause dent in stamping parts or even damage the tooling. But why does scrap jumping exist? The reasons are listed below:

  • Trimming steel wear, and the cutting clearance is bigger;
  • Scrap go up along the trimming punch because of punch magnetism or oil adhesion;
  • Scrap go up because of vacuum pressure when the trimming punches move upwards;

How to avoid it?
  • Add ejectors on the punch if there is enough space;
  • Add vent hole in the punch if there isn’t enough space, and use pressed air to blow away the scrap;
  • Make the bottom surface of the punch uneven, so the scrap would deform when being punched;
  • Make the shape of trimline irregular so there would be bigger resistance to prevent the scrap from coming up;
