In order to increase the porductivity of electrical parts, manufacturing processes using progressive dies have been widely used in the industry. Motor cores have been fabricated using progressive stacking die with the lamination procedure for better electro-magnetic property. for the proper design of a process, a prediction of the process is required to obtain many design parameters. In this work, rigid-plastic finite element analysis is carried out in order to simulate the lamination this work, rigid-plastic finite element analysis is carried out in order to simulate the lamination process of the motor core. The effects of the embossing depth and the amount of deviation are investigated and compared with experiments. The forming process can then be predicted successfully from the results of analyses, which enables to design appropriately the die and the process.

In order to increase the productivity of electrical parts, manufacturing processes using progressive dies have been widely used in the industry. Motor cores have been fabricated using progressive stacking die with the lamination procedure for better electro-magnetic property. For the proper design off process, a prediction of the process is required to obtain many design parameters. In this work, rigid-plastic finite element analysis is carried out in order to simulate the lamination process of the motor core. The effects of the embossing depth, the amount of deviation, and the number of stacked sheets are investigated and compared with experiments. The forming process can then be predicted successfully from the results of analyses, which enables an appropriate design to be made for the die and the process.
