ABSTRACT:
A die stamping system for use in a fine blanking apparatus that includes opposed die members which clamp a metal workpiece to be cut and pierced after which the die members are moved away from one another and the slugs pierced from the blank and the cut blanks are subsequently ejected wherein the ejector is controlled for a selected delay time by a plurality of cylinder assemblies mounted in a manifold so that they are connected to a source of inert gas such as nitrogen under high pressure. Each cylinder assembly includes a first piston associated with and exposed to the nitrogen in the manifold and a second piston engaged by the first piston and urged outwardly into engagement with a punch base. A hydraulic circuit is associated with the second piston and controlled by a valve such that upon downward movement of the first piston hydraulic fluid may flow freely without inhibiting the movement of the first piston, but upon actuation of the valve, hydraulic fluid locks the first piston and thereby prevents it from moving upwardly until the valve is actuated so that a predetermined time delay is provided.
