Manufacturing Methods

Due to increasing Globalization it is very much essential for manufacturers to produce goods having highest reliability and in required time. This is achieved by using various manufacturing methods. The transformers which are currently assembled for Welding Machines require hammering of the extruded Metal plate. This method requires large Human effort in form of Hammering. Hence the safety of the operator is also at a risk. The main purpose of this system is to automate the bending process so that almost negligible amount of Human Effort is required and the process becomes completely safe. This paper concentrates on the basic factors which should be considered while designing bending machine especially when sheet metal can’t be bent separately and having space constraint. Factors considered are force required, punch radius, reduction of spring back,

Sheet Metal Bending

Based on the thought of incremental forming, a new kind of sheet metal bending process has been described and investigated in this article. The software of the control system for the specific machine is developed combining motion control card and servo motors. Both single point and multi-points bending are taken into consideration from experimental and finite element analysis. Curved sheet and hyperbolic sheet metal are examined through experiments to extend the application for more smoothed and complicated curved sheet metal. The effectiveness of the process to deal with complex curved sheet metal is shown by all the experiments.

Analytical Approaches

The air bending process is one of the most widely used process for the manufacturing of sheet metal bending parts made of thin as well as of thick sheet metal. Although the air bending process offers a very high production potential due to its great flexibility, it is associated with certain problems which can negatively influence the shape and dimensional accuracy of the bending parts. Examples for such negative influences are the springback of the material, the batch variations, or the deflections of the bending machine and tools. These differences have to be considered either in the determination of the process parameters or they have to be compensated later on in the manufacturing process itself. A well established approach to calculate process data for forming processes is the use of a process simulation. At the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction (IUL) a simulation software called Sheet Metal Bending Simulation (SMBS) has been developed and successfully been tested for the field of sheet metal bending, based on semi-analytical approaches. Although it already provides very satisfactory results in general, disturbances such as material and batch variations as well as the deflections of C-frame, machine table, and press brake ram can still negatively affect the prediction of the punch displacement necessary to achieve a certain bend angle. While material and batch variations cannot properly be considered in a process simulation at present, the afore mentioned influences offer a promising potential for improvements. Therefore, in order to further improve the accuracy of predicted quantities such as punch displacement and bending angle, a new module describing the elastic machine behaviour of press brakes has been developed and successfully been integrated in the process simulation SMBS. Experimental investigations have been carried out on a conventional CNC press brake to verify the efficiency of the newly implemented approach.

Selection Of

In this work the development of a virtual machine for the simulation of the sheet metal bending process is presented. The developed software is based on SolidEdge® as commercial CAD base, and allows the student to design the whole sheet metal part in a 3D environment. The application guides the student during all process, including the selection of the press brake and the tools (dies and punches) by means of a graphical interface. Finally, the bending sequence is introduced and the application simulates the bending process. This way the student can see the problems during the manufacturing process, in particular collisions, that arise from the design of the part, from the tools selected or, in most cases, from the bending sequence. Finally, the student should fix these problems in order to manufacture the part.

Bending can be considered one of easier sheet metal forming processes. In fact, it represents one of the basic variants of applied deformations to metal blanks. However, the numerous research contributions dedicated to sheet metal bending that have been published over the past decade and the constant stream of announcements by R&D departments of machine constructors are strong indications that not all research challenges related to sheet metal bending have been done. This paper reports the developed activity carried out to design a bending testing rig characterized by: a working horizontal axis, a maximum bending length equal to 200 mm, a maximum applicable force equal to 80 kN. A partitioned blankholder has also been designed to allow bending operations on tailored blanks. Moreover, a Graphical User Interface hollows to set up the process parameters and the acquisition of testing data (Temperature and/or Force as function of the process time or punch stroke). CAE tools application had a strategic role to develop the best layout and to find the optimum solutions for the process variables tuning. CAE techniques have allowed to investigate and verify different layout solutions both for the bending process and the structural components of the tooling.
