Latest Patents
Vincent holds a patent for a "Slug expanding and capturing apparatus and method for hydroforming application." This invention provides an effective method for piercing holes in workpieces suitable for hydroforming applications. The apparatus consists of first and second die portions that form a die cavity for the workpiece. Each die includes a punch cavity that is generally perpendicular to the workpiece. One of the punch cavities features a slug capturing area. A punch with an angular cutting face can be moved within a cross passage created by the punch cavities to impact the workpiece. The angular cutting face of the punch has a larger surface area than the punch body, resulting in expanding slugs that are pierced from the workpiece. The slug capturing area is designed with a cross-sectional area smaller than the surface area of the angular cutting face.
