Development of process control in sheet metal forming.

Sheet metal forming processes. One strategy for controlling sheet metal forming processes through the application of variable blank holder force is process control see fig. Flange development and protection die entry line. Development of process control in sheet metal forming.

Another common sheet metal forming process is bending. Problems of part quality in the sheet metal forming process. Process design is the ensemble of operations leading from the design geometry to. The die at the top is called a punch.

Schematic of a sheet metal forming process fig. Blank holder restricts the movement of sheet metal going inward. Joins the punch line to the blankholder with an opening. Sheet metal is formed cold.

The sheet metal is placed over a die block at which point a punch presses down. Most problems in sheet metal forming come from a bad control of holding restraining and springback. Companies typically perform bending on sheet metal using either a brake press or similar machine press. By doing so the sheet can be bent or stretched into a variety of complex shapes.

A tool the tool used is hemispherical in design and blank holder is used to clamp the sheet metal. Curling is a forming process that involves de burring sheet metal to produce smooth edges. A wrinkling b tearing and c springback 1 2 background to overcome production problems tool and die manufacturers continuously integrate new techniques and ideas in sheet metal forming in their design. Fig 5 basic elements of isf 5 cnc machine control the tool movement.

The proposed development will be useful in designing and implementing process control in sheet metal forming processes as described in subsequent chapters. Sheet metal forming processes are those in which force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to modify its geometry rather than remove any material. 3 in this strategy a measurable process variable e g punch force is controlled by following a predetermined e g punch force displacement reference trajectory through manipulating the blank holder force. Sheet metal forming process is done on a press and the parts are formed in between two die.
