Description
This A Station half-shear locating tool partially shears the sheet thickness without fully punching through the material, displacing the local material to form a solid raised locating feature while keeping it attached to the workpiece.
The formed projection can engage with a corresponding round or slotted hole in another sheet metal part, providing reliable pre-positioning for assembly, welding and subsequent fastening. It can also be used as a physical reference point, locating stop or orientation feature.
Upward or downward forming configurations can be manufactured according to customer requirements. WYS Machinery also provides thick turret and thin turret tooling in A, B, C, D and E station sizes, as well as TRUMPF and Murata Wiedemann type structures.

Manufacturing Quality
Precision machining and controlled punch-to-die clearance help produce consistent half-shear features while keeping the displaced material securely attached to the sheet. Feature dimensions and forming height can be engineered according to sheet thickness, material properties, mating-part geometry and application requirements.
Standard & Custom
The tooling shown is one example of an A Station half-shear locating solution and does not represent a limitation on available feature sizes, forming directions or tooling configurations.
