摘要：To form longitudinally spaced pairs of angularly spaced stops in the walls offuel rod-positioning ferrules utilized in nuclear fuel bundle spacers, the ferrules, cut fromtubular stock, are longitudinally oriented in a first station (70) and angularly oriented in a

second station (74) using a reference notch cut in one ferrule edge. Successive ferrulesare picked (78) from the second station and placed in a die (79) of a punch press (80).Ferrule exterior surface back-up is provided by the die upon closure, and interior surfaceback-up is provided by a mandrel (110, Fig. 7) inserted in the ferrule bore as the punchesconverge into stop-forming engagement with the ferrule wall. Formed ferrule discharge(to 82) is induced by placement of the next ferrule in the die.
