pneumatic draw cushion (Fig. 3.1.13, top). However, it is only marginally<br />

possible to achieve a constant blank holder force at high impact<br />

speeds (Fig. 3.1.13, bottom).The conditions for the hydraulic draw cushion<br />

with displacement cylinders (Fig.3.1.11) are significantly more<br />

favorable. Since the <strong>press</strong>ure build-up does not take place until the<br />

beginning <strong>of</strong> the piston movement, even at maximum impact speed<br />

the blank holder force peaks only minimally and is quickly dissipated<br />

(Fig. 3.1.12). Accordingly, in general terms a lead <strong>of</strong> the blank holder in<br />

the die <strong>of</strong> some 30mm is sufficient to ensure that the entire drawing<br />

process takes place at a constant blank holder force.<br />
