Presses are very used in industrial and commercial companies and are often the source of serious accidents occurring during operation. Most of accidents are due to inadequate design of the press machine. This paper presented an experiment which examined eye movement characteristics of the operators in the press operation. Continuous recordings of eye movements were made on five subjects in press operation. It was observed that the subjects stared longer at the die and did not stare at the switch. The eyemovemen patterns per cycle of the subjects were mostly identified as material container $\rightarrow$ die pattern type. The results could be used as basic data to establish a design guideline when manufacturer made the press machine.

Hot press forming can produce high-strength components by rapidly cooling between closed punch and die after hot forming using quenchable boron steel austenized in a furnace. In the hot press forming process, the cooling rate is influenced by the size, position and arrangement of the cooling channel and the file condition of cooling water in the die. Also, mechanical properties of the final components and operation time are related to cooling rate. Therefore, the design of optimized cooling channel is one of the most important works. In this paper, the effect of position and size of the cooling channel on the cooling rate was investigated by using design of experiment and FE analysis in hot press bending process. Therefore the optimum cooling channel ratio was presented in the HPB.

In April 2010, the die and mould grand prix for university student was held in Osaka as a special event of Inter Mold Japan. The students from Korea, China, and Japan participated to demonstrate the design and manufacturing skill of die and mould. Based on the given product drawing of Test Work, progressive die should be designed and manufactured. Also, production of Test Work should be carried out. This study had been conducted to participate in the grand prix and to learn practical knowledge and experience from real die design and making. Test Work is made of SPCC and includes piercing, blanking, deep drawing and burring. From the analysis of product drawing, process planning and die design was carried out. Progressive die for Test Work was manufactured using CNC milling, grinding, wire-cutting and polishing. The production was successfully completed using mechanical press and product showed very good accuracy satisfying all dimensional tolerances.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a CAD/CAM system for generation of designing and manufacturing information such as total drawing sub-assembly drawing, part drawing detail drawing part list and NC data for machining by CNC lathe were CUT machining center. Through this study the CAD/CAM system for deep drawing transfer die in mechanical press process has been developed The developed CAD system can generate the drawings of transfer die in mechanical press. Using these results from CAD system. it can generate NC data to machine die's elements on the CAD system. This system can reduce design man-hours and human errors. In order to construct the system it is used to automate the design process using knowledge base system. The developed system is based on the knowledge base system which is involved a lot of expert's empirical knowhow in the practice field. Using AutoLISp language under the Auto CAD system. CTK customer language of SmartCAM is used as the overall CAD/CAM environment. Results of this system will be provide effective aids to the designer and manufacturer in this field

In order to prevent the defects, the optimum design of the production part, strip process layout, die design, die making and try out etc. are necessary the analysis of effective factors. For example, theory and practice of metal shearing process and it's phenomena, die structure, machine tool working for die making, die materials and it's heat treatment, metal working in field, their know how etc. are included in those factors. In this study, we analyzed whole of data base, theoretical back ground of metal working process, and then performed the progressive die tryout with the screw press. Part2 of this study reveals with ultra precision progressive die design, its making and tryout.

This paper describes some research of Computer-Aided Process Planning and Die Design of Hot Forging for axisymmetric parts produced by the press. An approach to the system is based on knowledge based system. The system has been written in AutoLisp with personal computer. Knowledges for process planning & die design are extracted from the plasticity theories, handbooks, relevent references and empirical know-how of field experts in hot forging companies. The developed system is composed of five main modules, such as input module, process planning module, die design module, flow simulation module and output module which are used independently or in all. The final output is generated in graphic from. The developed system which aids designer provides powerful capabilities for process planning and die design of hot forging. This system also provides approximate flow pattern.

The metal lead frame, a semiconductor component, has product tolerances in micro units as compared to products made with a larger size mold. Therefore, small deflections of the mold and of the press as well as the press molding process itself have a strong influence on accuracy of the product. Hence, it is necessary for the process design to consider the structural response of the mold and the press during deformation. In the current study, the mold deflection and pressure on the punch is examined using the finite element modeling (FEM) program ABAQUS. The results from the simulation were verified with the dynamic deformation measurement equipment using digital image correlation (DIC).

This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of blanking and piercing for stator and rotor parts. Based on knowledge-based rules, the die design system, STRTDES2, is designed by considering several factors, such as complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, and availability of press equipment and standard parts. Therefore this system can carry out a die design for each process which is obtained from the result of an automated process planning system, STRTDES1 and generate part drawing and the assembly drawing of die set in graphic forms. Knowledges for die layout are extracted from plasticity theories, relevant references and empirical know-hows of experts in blanking industries.

Today most companies are designing their automobile shapes by using 3 dimensional CAD software, CATIA. And they used to design 2 dimensional press dies to do some elastic work on their products, but they are currently trying to make use of dimensional software, Pro-Engineer. In this case, they have to change the 3 dimensional product design data to the proper format data for the following process. This paper will show the data loss and the deformation during data transfer between CATIA and Pro-Engineer, and then suggest a solution for these problems. Product's surface will be automatically placed by automatic press tipping angle setting in CATIA to prevent the product from being stuck in the press die. The 2 dimensional section view which is based on the tipping angle setting is created by Z-map. And, to remove the data loss and the data deformation in pro-Engineer, the product surface are delivered to the next process after it is changed to the 2 dimensional Z-map curves in CATIA. finally, this paper suggests an algorithm to develop the automatic design program for the press layout which regenerates product shape surface from the previous process.
