Reverse Drawing



This is a process in which effectively two draws are carried out in a single stroke of the press. It involves the use of all three cylinders and provides a means of achieving very deep draws in symmetrical compinenets such as saucepans etc.


Double reverse drawing is a further development of this method in which a fourth cylinder is employed to produce the re- quired diameter. The material is reversed twice during the single working stroke of the press to obtain extremely high draw ratios.
