These forming tools are in addition to standard punching tools used to create the tabs for forming.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After the tabs have been punched in the sheet to be formed, Forming Tool #1 is used to make the first 2 forming strokes. This first form produces the leading edge of the tab.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1368 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Hinge-tools.jpg\" alt=\"Hinge tools\" width=\"325\" height=\"202\" \/><\/li>\n<li>The second forming stroke is added to all tabs to be formed. This forming stroke bends the tab up to a designed angle. The spring loaded lower assembly, or die, pushes the sheet off the lower insert before the sheet advances to the next forming location.<\/li>\n<li>The final forming stroke uses Forming Tool #2, or the \u201cknuckle tool,\u201d which curls the angled tab to form a hinge. This tool also includes a spring loaded lower assembly to lift the material off the lower insert before advancing to the next forming location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The benefits of forming hinges in a punch press include:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1367 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Hinge-parts.jpg\" alt=\"Hinge parts\" width=\"450\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Hinge-parts.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Hinge-parts-400x236.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Eliminates secondary operations that attach hinge components<\/li>\n<li>Separate hinges, fasteners, spot welds or other assembly operations are no longer needed<\/li>\n<li>Does away with the cost of specialized press brake or stamping tooling necessary to create hinge forms.<\/li>\n<li>Ensures greater accuracy over more manual secondary operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Problem: Hinges, a more complex form, may be processed in a punch press.
