Overview
ISO 21223:2019 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that establishes the vocabulary related to tools for pressing. It provides comprehensive terms and definitions for the main types of pressing tools, their features, and dimensional characteristics. This standard is essential for manufacturers and users involved in the design, production, and trade of pressing tools, ensuring clear communication and a common understanding of technical terminology.
The document covers classification, parts, components, and design elements of pressing tools. Included are explanations for various types of dies such as blanking, forming, drawing, bending, compound, and progressive dies, among others. Illustrative figures and an informative annex help users visualize the described terms and components.
Key Topics
Applications
ISO 21223:2019 serves as an essential reference for:
- Manufacturers of pressing tools and stamping dies to ensure components meet international terminology and dimensional standards.
- Users and engineers involved in the design and operation of pressing and forming machinery.
- Quality control and procurement professionals who require clear definitions for specifications and communication with suppliers.
