Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to devices for forming materials and, more particularly, to wear components of a die, mold, and/or stamping device.
- Dies, molds, and stamping devices are commonly used for cutting or forming material, such as sheet metal, as part of a manufacturing process.
- Such devices typically include one or more wear components for absorbing various forces that may be generated during the cutting and/or forming processes.
- the wear components may be, for example, a wear plate, a bushing, a gib, or a U-block.
- Various other wear components are known.
- upper and lower heel blocks coupled to upper and lower die shoes, respectively may be equipped with corresponding wear plates to absorb at least a portion of the side thrust forces that may be generated as the upper die shoe is lowered toward the lower die shoe.
- Other wear components such as bushings, gibs, or U-blocks may function as a bearing for permitting a second machine component to rotate and/or translate thereon. Wear plates may also be used for this purpose.
- a wear component may be gradually worn down by frictional forces generated as a result of the relative motion between the wear component and another component.
- Various other applications and configurations of wear components are also known.
- Typical wear components are constructed of a low friction material such as bronze, bronze-plated steel, or a bronze alloy, for example, an aluminum- bronze alloy.
- Some wear components are self-lubricating.
- a wear component may include a plurality of bores for receiving oil-impregnated graphite lubrication plugs which may lubricate the operating surface of the wear component during use.
- a wear component may include a number of grease grooves provided in the operating surface for receiving lubrication from the plugs and/or from an external source. The plugs and/or grooves may therefore lessen any frictional forces acting on the operating surface. In any event, however, the operating surface inevitably wears down from repeated use and requires repair or replacement.
- wear indicator grooves in the operating surface of the wear component.
- Such grooves are typically linear from one side of the component to an opposite side thereof, with each groove of the component being of a uniform depth that is constant along the original operating surface. As the operating surface wears, each groove becomes shallower until such point that it disappears. When the groove is no longer present, the absence of the groove provides a visual indication to the operator that the wear has exceeded the initial depth of the groove and that the wear component should therefore be replaced.
- a drawback of such grooves is that the operator may be unable to see a groove due to the angle of viewing and/or inadequate lighting conditions, giving the operator a false indication of wear.
- Another drawback is that the operator is unable to monitor the rate of wear, since he or she is only able to see whether or not the groove is present. Therefore, the operator may be unable to conduct predictive planning with regard to a future need to repair or replace the wear component, absent performing the above-mentioned dismantling of the device to measure the wear component's thickness. In addition, if such a groove were to disappear between visual checks, the operator may be unable to discern how much additional wear has occurred after the groove disappeared.
- a wear component for use in a manufacturing process includes at least one operating surface for absorbing a force generated during the manufacturing process and at least one wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having a varying depth.
- the at least one wear indicator groove may have at least one sloped base surface defined by an angle relative to the operating surface. For example, the angle may be between approximately 10 degrees and approximately 45 degrees.
- the at least one wear indicator groove includes at least a first end having a first depth and a second end having a second depth, wherein the first depth is greater than the second depth.
- the at least one wear indicator groove may include first and second legs angularly displaced from each other and defining an apex.
- the depth of the at least one indicator groove may increase toward the apex.
- the depth of the at least one indicator groove may decrease toward the apex.
- the first and second legs are angularly displaced from each other by approximately 90 degrees.
- the wear component includes a plurality of bores for receiving a plurality of lubrication plugs.
- the wear component may further include a plurality of lubrication plugs, wherein each lubrication plug is received by a respective bore of the plurality of bores.
- the at least one operating surface includes at least one of a bronze, a bronze-plated steel, a bronze alloy, or an aluminum-bronze alloy.
- a die arrangement in another embodiment, includes a heel block and the wear component, wherein the wear component is received by the heel block.
- a wear component for use in a
- the manufacturing process includes at least one operating surface for absorbing a force generated during the manufacturing process.
- the wear component further includes a first wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having a first depth, and a second wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having a second depth that is different from the first depth.
- the first wear indicator groove has a first length and the second wear indicator groove has a second length, and the fire and second depths are constant along the respective lengths.
- the wear component further includes a third wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having a third depth that is different from the first and second depths.
- the first depth may be approximately equal to one third of a maximum wear rating of the at least one operating surface
- the second depth may be approximately equal to two-thirds of the maximum wear rating
- the third depth may be approximately equal to the maximum wear rating.
- the wear component includes a third wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having the first depth.
- the wear component may further include a fourth wear indicator groove in the at least one operating surface and having the second depth.
- the wear component may include a plurality of bores for receiving a plurality of lubrication plugs.
- the at least one operating surface may include at least one of a bronze, a bronze-plated steel, a bronze alloy, or an aluminum- bronze alloy.

- wear components in the form of wear plates 1 0 each include an operating surface 12 for absorbing a force generated during a manufacturing process, for example, a frictional force.
- At least one wear indicator groove 14 is provided in the operating surface 12 and has at least one first end 16 and at least one second end 18.
- the wear indicator groove 14 has a varying depth such that, as the operating surface 12 wears down from use, the groove 14 decreases in length on the operating surface 12.
- an operator may measure a remaining length of the groove 14 and calculate the amount of length lost by subtracting the remaining length from the original length. The amount of length lost correlates to the amount of wear.
- the wear indicator groove 14 enables the amount of wear to be readily and/or continuously monitored during the life of the wear plate 10, without dismantling the device in which the wear plate 1 0 is used. Thus, an operator may be able to conduct predictive planning with regard to a future need to repair or replace the wear plate 10.
- the features of the improved wear plate 10 and other wear components are set forth in further detail below to clarify each of these functional advantages and other benefits provided in this disclosure.
- a plurality of wear plates 10 may be included in a die arrangement 20.
- the die arrangement 20 includes an upper die shoe 22 and a lower die shoe 24, and may be used, for example, to compress metal by squeezing the metal therebetween as part of a coining operation.
- Upper and lower heel blocks 26, 28 may be coupled to the upper and lower die shoes 22, 24, respectively, and may be formed with complementary shapes such that, for example, the lower heel block 28 may receive the upper heel block 26 during operation.
- the upper and lower heel blocks 26, 28 include upper and lower first and second recesses 30, 32, 34, 36, respectively, for receiving the wear plates 10.
- the operating surfaces 12 of the wear plates 10 received in the first upper and lower recesses 30, 32 face each other and contact each other when the upper die shoe 22 is lowered toward the lower die shoe 24, and the operating surfaces 1 2 of the wear plates 10 received in the second upper and lower recesses 34, 36 face each other and contact each other when the upper die shoe 22 is lowered toward the lower die shoe 24.
- the upper and lower heel blocks 26, 28, together with the respective wear plates 1 may absorb any side thrust force that may be generated during operation of the die arrangement 20.
- the die arrangement 20 may include guide pins and/or guide bushings (not shown) for aligning the upper and lower die shoes 22, 24 precisely.
- the heel blocks 26, 28 and/or wear plates 22, 24 may prevent the guide pins from undesirably deflecting, and thereby assist in maintaining proper alignment of the upper and lower die shoes 22, 24.
- the wear plates 10 may be constructed of a low-friction material such as bronze, bronze-plated steel, or a bronze alloy, for example, an aluminum-bronze alloy. Nevertheless, over the course of operation of the die arrangement 20, the resulting friction between corresponding wear pads 10 causes the operating surfaces 12 to wear down such that the wear plates 10 eventually require replacement or repair.
- a wear plate 10 may include mounting holes 40 for receiving fasteners (not shown) to couple the wear plate 10 to a heel block 26, 28, for example.
- the mounting holes 40 may include countersinks 42 for receiving the heads of such fasteners.

- the first and second legs 60, 62 may be displaced from each other by between approximately 30 degrees and approximately 150 degrees.
- the first and second legs 60, 62 may be displaced from each other by approximately 90 degrees.
- other angles may be used.
- By angularly displacing the first and second legs 60, 62 of each groove 14, improved visibility of the grooves 14 may be provided.
- the grooves 14 may be visible from multiple diffraction angles relative to the operating surface 1 2. This may improve the likelihood that an operator may be able to see a particular groove 14 from various angles, even in poor lighting conditions.
- each leg 60, 62 includes a first end 1 6 at or near the apex of the groove 14 and a second end 18 at or near a lateral edge 64, 66 of the original operating surface 1 2 and spaced from the first end 1 6 by an original length L.
- the first ends 16 of the first and second legs 60, 62 are at the apex of the groove 14 and thus substantially coincide.
- the grooves 14 are each varying in depth, and the depth can vary continuously.
- each leg 60, 62 has a first depth at the first end 16 and a second depth at the second end 18 that is different from the first depth.

- the sloped base surfaces 70 may each be defined by an angle ⁇ relative to the operating surface 1 2. In one embodiment, the angle ⁇ may be between approximately 10 degrees and approximately 45 degrees.
- the amount of wear W to the operating surface 1 2 of the wear plate 10 may be a function of the difference of the original length L of a leg 60, 62 on the original operating surface 12 and the length L' of the same leg 60', 62' on the current operating surface 12', along with the angle ⁇ of the sloped base surface 70.
- Ke may be equal to the inverse of the cosine of the angle ⁇ .
- first ends 16 of the legs 60, 62 of the grooves 14 may be positioned at or near a lateral edge 64, 66 of the operating surface 12, and the second ends 18 may be positioned at or near the apex of the groove 14, such that the base surfaces 70 may be sloped in the opposite directions of those shown in Fig. 4.

As shown, the walls 154 may include bores 150 for receiving oil- impregnated graphite lubrication plugs 152. In addition or alternatively, the walls 154 may include bores 156 for receiving locating dowel pins 1 58.
- Wear indicator grooves 1 14 substantially similar to those previously discussed with respect to the wear plate 10 may be formed in the operating surfaces 1 12 of the L-gibs 1 10 to allow an operator to monitor the wear to the L- gibs 1 10 and conduct predictive planning in that regard. The details of the grooves 1 14 are not repeated here for the sake of brevity.
- a wear component in the form of a U-block 210 includes first and second operating surfaces 212a, 212b angularly displaced from each other such that a V- block 215 may traverse therealong in an alternative die arrangement 220.

- the wear plate 310 may be included in the upper and/or lower heel blocks 26, 28 of the die arrangement 20 illustrated in Fig. 1 , or may be incorporated in any other suitable environment.
