Rollover Burnish zone Fracture zone 2nd burnish zone Burr Depth of the crack penetration Mechanism of burr formation • The crack initiates from the top initial indent point (A) and connects to the bottom initial indent point (B). pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr
Troubles caused by burrs • Reduce the quality of machined (sheared) parts • Cause interference, jamming and misalignment during assembly procedures • Safety hazard to personnel • Hard to predict • Hard to avoid • De-burring is time-consuming and costly pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr

System operation pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr
Initial punch-die alignment procedure Steps • X-Y table moves toward -X until the punch contacts the die. • Table goes backward to the opposite direction before the new contact signal is detected. • Distance between the contact points can be calculated by using electric pulse signals. • Table moves to the center of both points. pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr
Initial alignment example pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr
Principle of in-situ alignment • Step 1 Sheet metal is fed to the designated position by the feeding actuator. • Step 2 Burr heights at the position ① and ② are measured by the laser probe. • Step 3 Difference between burrs heights is calculated • Step 4 Table is moved to the right or the left minutely according to the value of the difference. pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr

Conclusion • We developed the precision meso-punching system and introduced two kinds of punch-die auto aligning methods : the punch-die contact sensing method and the in-situ self-aligning method • By reducing the spot size of the laser under 2 micrometers by the achromatic lens system, we can get the more accurate dimensional information of the burr • The burrs formed during the punching process can be uniformized and minimized by using aligning methods. • Novel deburring method was developed for almost burr-free parts. pmlab.kangwon.ac.kr
