Estimation of Formability for Sheet Metal Forming of Electronic Parts

For the improvement of productivity, the reduction of cost and time for manufacturing is mandatory, especially in the field of electronic industry. The study is concemed with a practical means of systematic assistance to formability estimation and selection of reliable design specification for electronic sheet metal parts. The objective of this research work is to develop a simulation system which helps to analyze the target processes with the finite element method and to acquire available design data quickly and exactly and exactly. The simulation system developed in the study consists of design verification, selection of optimal combination of parameters, knowledge acquisition and graphical user interface(GUI). Design verification is automatically carried out by using the finite element method. A data base management system and nomograms are utilized for knowledge acquistion. The developed system has been applied to some major sheet metal forming operations such as flanging, embossing, bending and blanking. According to the simulated results, the validation of the target processes has been confirmed. Analysis data, estimation rules of formability and graphical representation of the analysis have been employed for the designer's understanfing and evaluation, thus providing a practical means of robot design and evaluation of formability for production electronic sheet metal parts.
