Overview - ISO 16367:2008 (Guide plates, U- and V-blocks)

ISO 16367:2008 is an international standard for tools for pressing, specifically covering guide plates and U‑ and V‑blocks used in press tools. The second edition (2008) defines the main dimensions and tolerances, designation rules and interfacing requirements that ensure consistent form, fit and function of guiding plates in tooling applications. The standard was prepared by ISO/TC 29/SC 8 (Small tools, Tools for pressing and moulding).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Specifies main dimensions and tolerances of guiding plates, U‑ and V‑blocks, and how they are designated.
  • Block types: Defines configurations for type U (female block), type V (male block) and combinations of U and V blocks.
  • Dimensions & tolerances: Main dimensional requirements and general tolerances use ISO 2768 (general tolerances, part 1) and specific h6/H7 tolerances where indicated. Surface roughness values are given in micrometres where applicable.
  • Edges and finishing: All edges of undefined shape are handled per ISO 13715 (technical drawings - edges of undefined shape).
  • Fastening and locating elements: References standard components such as hexagon socket head cap screws (ISO 4762) and parallel pins (ISO 8733) for mounting/locating.
  • Material: Choice of material is left to the manufacturer’s discretion (material selection is not prescriptive in the standard).
  • Designation format: U‑ and V‑block guiding plates are designated by type + reference to ISO 16367 and the width (b) and length (l) in millimetres. Example: “U‑ and V‑block guiding plate ISO 16367 - 65 × 200”.

Applications and users

ISO 16367 is practical for:

  • Toolmakers and die designers creating press tooling and guiding systems
  • Press manufacturers specifying mating guide plates and blocks
  • Tooling suppliers producing standardized U‑ and V‑blocks for interchangeability
  • Production and maintenance engineers responsible for repair, replacement and quality control of press tools
  • CAD library managers and procurement teams who need unambiguous part identification

Benefits include improved interchangeability, reduced design ambiguity, simplified procurement and clearer communication between designers, manufacturers and end users.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16367 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools, Subcommittee SC 8, Tools for
pressing and moulding.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16367:2001) which has been technically
revised.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 16367 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 29, Petit outillage, sous-comité SC 8, Outillage de
presse et de moulage.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO 16367:2001), qui a fait l'objet d'une
révision technique.
