International Classification:

B26D 718

US Classification:

83 24

Abstract:

A punch tool for punching a slug from a workpiece. The punch of the punch tool has a reciprocating travel path with a transition region where the punch changes direction. A die plate of the punch tool has an aperture. A support bushing disposed in the aperture of the die plate provides support for the workpiece and has an underside and an opening through which the punch and the slug pass. A nozzle disposed in the aperture of the die plate provides an internal passage for the removal of punch slugs from the tool. The nozzle has a top and a side wall with a hole disposed in the side wall adjacent the transition region of the reciprocating travel path of the punch. The nozzle, the support bushing, and the die plate are integrated to form a flow path delivering a gas flow to the hole in the nozzle. The flow path and the hole direct the gas flow on a slug attached to the punch in the transition region of the reciprocating travel path of the punch to remove the slug from the punch.

International Classification:

B41M 112

US Classification:

101129

Abstract:

An apparatus and method is provided for vacuum screen printing a greensheet having vias and both vias and open areas whereby vacuum leakage in the apparatus is minimized and avoids bowing of the screen over the open area of the greensheet. An interposer apparatus is provided comprising at least two layers having vertical through openings in registration with the via openings of the greensheet and screen. The interposer also comprises vertical through openings communicating with the open area of the greensheet and with vent channels of the interposer. A porous membrane is also used either alone or in conjunction with the interposer to provide enhanced screening results.
