The Finite Element Analysis

For the purpose of the fabrication of the sheet-metal parts with non-horizontal end face using the sheet metal CNC incremental forming technology, two kinds of path generating methods, namely the level path perpendicular to Z axis method and the equidistant path parallel to sheet metal are proposed in this paper. Both of the paths are generated by Visual C++ and OpenGL graphics library, the effect of the two kinds of forming paths to the forming quality of the sheet part with non-horizontal end face is researched using the finite element analysis method in this paper.

Aiming at the problem that current CNC incremental forming technology can’t directly manufacture the sheet-metal part with non-horizontal end face, the method that can manufacture this kind of sheet-metal part by using the equidistant tool path parallel to the sheet metal was proposed in this paper, in which the support and sheet metal was made together and sheet metal was directly fixed on the support. In addition, the equidistant tool path parallel to the sheet metal was generated using UG software and the sheet-metal part was fabricated by using vertical CNC machining center.

New Criterion

Wrinkling is one of the primary failure modes in deep drawing of sheet metal parts. Previous studies showed that the second principle stress can be a measure for the initiation and growth of wrinkles. The wrinkling analysis is usually made with using conical cup geometries. Recent experiments and numerical simulation results at the Institute for Metal Forming Technology (IFU) showed that the wrinkling analysis using simple conical cup geometries is not suitable for description of complex wrinkling conditions for real deep drawing processes. In the presented experimental results, fender shaped geometry was chosen as an example. During deep drawing of this geometry, different wrinkling formulation mechanisms were observed. Regarding these wrinkling mechanisms, a new wrinkling limit curve can be determined. By use of this new wrinkling limit curve, it is possible to detect the occurrence of wrinkles in each area of the formed sheet metal part until the wrinkle is finally formed.

Dieless Forming

The sheet metal CNC incremental forming is a flexible dieless forming technology that forms a sheet part by extruding the sheet metal point by point with the movement of forming tool along the forming path. The tool paths therefore have a great effect on the dimensional accuracy, surface quality and forming time. In this paper, an overview of the research status about the forming tool path generation for sheet metal CNC incremental forming is presented briefly.

Stamping process of sheet metal is widely used in the automobile industry. How to improve the quality of plate molding is a challenge for stamping process workers. With the development of the numerical analysis method and the computer technology, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) technology is widely applied in the industrial areas. As the CAE technology comes up, a qualitative change has happened in the stamping process of automobile sheet metal parts. This paper presents one stamping process simulation of auto rearview mirror installation plate by using the software DYNAFORM.

The purpose of this research is to present an alternative method for manufacturing sheet metal parts using an asymmetric incremental forming process by means of an industrial robot. This method is based on designing, simulating and generating the toolpath for the tool attached to the robot using DELMIA software package. The proposed approach allows users to check for system collisions, robot joins limitations and singularity problems. After a comprehensive simulation of the movements of the robot is performed, the program code can be generated by means of a specific DELMIA function. The program can be used afterwards to control the robot during the experimental work. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of robot-forming, a truncated pyramid sheet metal part was manufactured using a custom made stand and with the help of a KUKA KR6 anthropomorphic robot.

Sheet Metal Assembly

This paper presents a new fixture design methodology for sheet metal assembly processes. The proposed approach focuses on the impact of fixture position on the dimensional quality of sheet metal parts after assembly, considering part and tooling variation and assembly springback. The optimization algorithm combines finite element analysis and nonlinear programming methods to find the optimal fixture position such that the assembly variation is minimized. The optimal fixture design methodology enables to significantly reduce the assembly variation in the presence of part and tooling variation. A case study is presented to demonstrate the design procedure.
