In the sheet metal forming using a high speed press machine, driving device, such as crank, link, and knuckle mechanism, has to be designed in consideration of impact at a moment when press die contact with material, because the impact affects a dimensional accuracy of products and a life span of press die. In this study, dynamic analysis was performed using numerical simulation in order to verify the impact reduction effect for proposed double knuckle mechanism by estimating rolling and pitching moment of slide.

This study is an inspection of press forming product and mould using reverse engineering system. The inspection process on production field involves a lot of errors because of the hand-work so we focussed on improving the measured precision through performing the effective inspection using 3D non-contact scanner. By so doing that, we improved the precision of press forming product by analyzing the cause fellowing the inspection result. Through the inspection, we applied it to the reverse engineering and we could improve the inspection process.

Generally, in shipbuilding, large curved block components which have large curvature radius along various directions are used for huge ships such as LPG-vessel and oil tanker ships. Lots of the blocks are manufactured by line heating method which uses a heat source to bend the thick plate materials. The conventional forming process is entirely dependent on the experience of experts because it is done by manual method thus the curvatures and qualities are not uniform even for same part. However, it is hard to adopt the press forming process using die tool sets fur the manufacturing because of the characteristics of the industry that based on the small quantity and variety in the products. In this study, flexible forming technology using numbers of punches is investigated based on the simulation to substitute for the conventional forming method. Thick plate material model was applied to the proposed process to verify the feasibility for hull structure block forming process. The press forming processes were simulated by adopting the explicit-to-implicit sequential solution. Moreover, experiment of the flexible forming process was also conducted and its results were compared with that of simulation.

In order to see the effect of die deformation on the forming analysis of sheet metals, the draw-ins, strains, and spring-backs of an automotive fender panels are numerically simulated by considering the die deformation found by the simultaneous structural analysis of press and dies. By coupling the forming analysis and the structural analysis, the die deformation is simultaneously taken into account in the forming process. Furthermore, for the consideration of load difference transferred among the upper die, punch, and blank holder due to the changes in sheet thickness, the gap elements are employed instead of the blank sheet in the structural analysis. The numerical simulation results of an automotive finder draw panel are compared with the measurements. The comparison of the forming and spring-back analysis results between the rigid die and the deformed die shows that the consideration of tool deformation can predict more accurately the forming and spring-back of sheet metals.

This paper resents a virtual forming system to simulate deep drawing process for stress-strain information by utilizing virtual system designed using Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and computer aided analysis (CAE) tool. The CAE tool to calculate stress, strain, and deformation is designed using Finite Element Method. Stress distributions and deformation profiles as well as the operation of forming machine can be simulated and visualized in the web. The developed system consists of three modules, input module, virtual forming machine module, and output module. The input nodule was designed using HTML and ASP. The input data for FEM calculation is directed to the forming machine module for calculation. The results from the forming machine module can be visualized through output module as well as the forming process simulation.

In order to analyze stamping processes and to select optimum material properties of sheet steels for customer lines, 3-dimensional finite element analysis software were used. Commercial explicit finite element code, PAM-STAMP, was able to simulate 3-dimensional press formed parts with good accuracy and gave some useful results by orthogonal array experiments. Deformation of draw-bead were predicted by ABAQUS accurately, so that material selection for those parts by simulation were possible.

The quality requirements for metal forming products have become more strict. Machined parts, which could be produced only by cutting, can now be formed plastically. In order to reach the mechanical strength and geometrical accuracy, reasonable production technologies should be developed. In this presentation, some basic flow-press-technologies in the metal forming are introduced. Some real sample parts for a passenger can are shown and their forming plans are explained. Also problems and solutions for the production of bevel gears are discussed.
