Punching is one of the most commonly used production processes in sheet metal working industry. Here, major criterion for the quality of cutting surfaces is a high clean cut proportion. However, the disadvantage of conventional punching processes is that they can only produce clean cut proportions up to 20--50\% of the sheet thickness. Until today, more complex processes such as fine blanking are therefore required for a higher cutting surface quality. The content of this paper is a numerical and experimental investigation for a new tool design called ``concave punch nose design''. The idea of the concave punch nose design is to optimize the cutting edge geometry of conventional punches in order to enlarge clean-cut proportion along the cutting surface despite a process sequence similar to conventional shear cutting. The numerical and experimental investigations presented in this contribution show, that the concave punch nose design increases compressive stresses in the shear-affected zone and therefore significantly raises the cutting surface quality. Compared to conventional punching, concave punch nose design increases clean cut proportions by more than 100\%.
