  • Patent number: 8904911
    Abstract: A punch assembly includes a punch, a sleeve, a draw stud and a die. The sleeve adds rigidity to the draw stud, thereby reducing elastic deflection of the draw stud, reducing bending moment on the draw stud, reducing punching force, and extending the punch, draw stud and die fatigue life. The sleeve also aids in axial alignment of the punch, die and workpiece with a pilot hole drilled through a workpiece.
