TOX Stripper

Strippers are required for punch and die and perform several functions:

• Tool holding fixture:
  In most cases the stripper serves also as holding fixture and in the optional case with the use of TOX stripper standard components perfectly adapted among each other.

• Blankholder:
  During TOX joining, a deep drawing process takes place "pulling slightly in" the sheet metal around the joining point. The designer opposes a defined pressing force to it, thus the stripper acts in the first instance as blankholder clamping and fixing the piecepart. The spring in the blankholder is pressed down during this process.

• Stripper:
  After joining, the punch must be removed from the point indentation, resp. the die must be lifted up from the point elevation. The forces herefore required are determined during the TOX test and registered in the TOX Test Report. The stripping movement as well as the stripping force are generated by the pretensioned stripping spring.
