Die Plate Compensation 
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Select Die Design > Geometry Manipulation > Die Plate Compensation from the menu bar.
-
Select Geometry Manipulation > Die Plate Compensation from the following Die Design Guide: Die Process Design Guide (Forming).
Compensate the bend on the upper and lower die plates to prevent the work piece from being stuck in the die tools when the press is open.
After a stamping operation on large parts, there is tendency for the work piece to be stuck in the upper or lower punching tools when the press is open.

|
For very large die tools, the lower punch is bent downwards and the upper punch is bent upwards. The bend is very slight and at the edges of the tool, about 0.5 mm over 4 meters in length. The result of this will be that when the tool is closed with all the forces applied to it, it will go back to the originally designed form, but when opened it will be slightly bent and will be easier to extract the part. The active faces are slightly bent (on the upper and lower plates) toward the ends of the part and this compensation in then input into NC (for machining the active faces). |
