<p>[QUOTE="NEmike, post: 2224494, member: 75511"]The chart below is intended as a representative example of what might occur to cause incomplete planchets. In actuality, the planchet strip is up to 18" wide, and gang punches may have up to 80 dies to punch the blanks. The numbers in the diagram are meant to represent 5 actions of the punch. The first, second and third are normal. The fourth punch has slipped (likely due to a loose guide), causing the punches to overlap the edge. The 5th punch also overlapped the edge, and overlapped the end of the strip as well. As you can see by the drawing, these various misaligned punches cause the incomplete planchets described above.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/images/articles/errors/clip.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/images/articles/errors/clip.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/images/Thumbnails/errors-clip-SIZE296x160.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>With clipped-planchet errors, size matters-and so does the number of clips.
