Abstract: A noise reducing die assembly comprising, a passive cam having an inclined passive face of a fixed inclination angle .alpha., and an actuating cam having an inclined actuating face of the same inclination angle .alpha. as that of the inclined passive face of the passive cam, and contacting the inclined actuating face of the actuating cam to the inclined passive face of the passive cam to drive the passive cam for pressing a work; a roller is disposed rotatably at the side of the passive cam, and a speed control cam plate having, at a location of the actuating cam facing the roller, a cam face having, at a position where an upper die contacts to the roller at the beginning of descending, a low-speed inclination angle .beta. which is larger than the inclination angle .alpha. of the inclined faces of the passive cam and the actuating cam and close to a right angle, and a succeeding medium-speed inclination angle .gamma. which is slightly larger than the inclination angle .alpha.

Abstract: In a die including a cam member, which can be compactly designed in addition to the necessary function given to a cam member, in order to accomplish high quality machining without moving the cam member in a serpentine fashion, the die includes a slide cam having a slide cam base on the top of which a polyhedral guide portion is formed, the slide cam which holds and supports the polyhedral guide portion of the slide cam base being slidable along the polyhedral guide portion, and onto which machining tools such as a punch and a trimming edge are mounted, an elastic body interposed between the slide cam base and the slide cam for urging the slide cam, and a driving cam contacting the slide cam for driving the same.
