DESIGN OF PRESS TOOL FOR BOTTOM TANK IN AN AIR CONDITION UNIT

Sanjay Kumar S.M., D.P.Girish

Abstract: Bottom tank (Heater core) is made up of multilayered Aluminium strip. The capacity was 25 tons mechanical press for all the tools. Even though the tonnage requirement of the tools are less, the available press was for 25 tonnes. The main objective of this work is to design press tool for 25 tonnage capacity of the machine. The different drawing tools required are draw tool, setting tool, trimming tool, skirt draw tool etc. so that component is formed in a single shot. Theoretical calculation has to be carried out before doing design analysis. Tonnage capacity must be checked with necessary equations. Tools has to be selected as per DME, HASCO standards.

Keywords: Aluminium, Tonnage, Draw Tool, Setting Tool, etc.,
