Conventional Drawing

The slide and the die cushion are in their upper positions. The third cylinder is in its lower position. A new blank is fed into the tool. The slide starts to move down with closing speed. When the tool is reached, pressing speed is activated. The blank is formed by the punch. The die cushion is used as a blank holder and the holding force can be adjusted in different ways during the forming part of the sequence.
The slide returns to upper limit with high speed. The third cylinder is used as an ejector and ejects the part out of the upper tool. The die cushion lifts the finished part so it can be removed.
