 Smart Pads |
| The most versatile Elastomer Tooling System for RADIUS FORMING |
5 different Rod ii (from 1" to 4"), formed with the same bottom die |
 |
|
This system is the result of our over 2 decades experience in the ELASTOMER TOOLING technology area. |
|
The pad is designed to exert infinitely variable (adjustable) forming pressures. This is achieved by molding a series of holes symmetrically for the full length of the pad. These holes are sized and located to minimize stress in the pad. |
|
With all of the 9 holes left open, the pad exerts the least amount of forming pressure. This will enable the forming of the largest radiused shape, that the pad is designed to form. |
|
By adjusting the forming pressures by inserts, any radius in between the maximum and the minimum recommended radii can be formed. |
|
|
|
By inserting the round rods of the same hardness as the main pad, symmetrically in pairs, in the outer holes, the active deflectable volume is reduced. This will enable tighter bends on smaller size punches. |
|
The holes can be filled with tubes, that will exert lesser pressures than solid rod inserts. These inserts can be of softer or harder grades or Rods or tubes, thus providing an infinite variety of pressures. |
|
This process of filling holes can continue inwards, to increase forming pressures. By leaving only one hole in the top row open, a 90º radius bend of 1" can be formed, and by leaving all holes open, a 4" radius 90º bend can be made. |
|
Virtually any radius punch can be used to form into this pad, as long as the total width of punch penetration does not exceed 8" and the depth of penetration does not exceed 4". |
