Stamping Practice

This English-language textbook and professional book provides an overview of the basics of stamping technology, practical tips for the design of tools and explanations of the high-performance stamping presses. Design rules and parameters from practice provide assistance in the construction of tools. The computational determination of influencing variables, basic material technology and functional relationships support the selection of high-performance stamping presses. There is also a special chapter about optical monitoring of stamping tools and stamping processes.
