چکیده
More powerful process design methods and tools of sheet metal stamping are needed to help engineers design better products, to reduce lead times and costs, and to increase product performance and accuracy. A novel model for representation of object-oriented case information constitution relationship is presented, ‘Class-Property’ structure is proposed in order to refine the case representation, multi-types’ properties are adopt to describe more detailed information, three hierarchies of index strategy are used to realize case extraction. Furthermore, experts’ knowledge and experience on previous design cases and forming problems are collected, which can provide designers useful practical experience and data to aid design procedure and to solve the potential problems of sheet metal stamping. In order to illustrate these applications, database technology is used to realize a prototype system of auto body panels, which can be used to integrate process design information and manufacture resources.

Elaboration of the Technology of Forming a Conical Product of Sheet Metal
The present work concerns the forming of the sheet metal conical products which, combined with a vulcanized rubber blend form footings for electric power generators. Conical sheet metal elements are most often formed by the following four methods: – multi-operational stamping with stiff tools, – hydro-mechanical stamping, – spinning, – flow turning. In case of stiff tool stamping, traces on the...
متن کاملA Draw-In Sensor for Process Control and Optimization
Sheet metal forming is one of the major processes in manufacturing and is broadly used due to its high degree of design flexibility and low cost. In the sheet metal forming process, draw-in (planar movement of a sheet periphery) frequently occurs and is one of the most dominated indicators on the success of a forming process. Currently, monitoring and controlling draw-in during each stamping op...
متن کاملModeling and Optimization of End Effector Layout for Handling Compliant Sheet Metal Parts
Material handling of compliant parts is one of the most critical and underresearched problems in the sheet metal stamping industry. The fundamental shortcoming of currently studied material handling systems for sheet metal stamping is the lack of analysis of its impact on part dimensional quality and production throughput. This paper addresses this problem by development of a generic methodolog...
متن کاملInvestigation on Forming of Titanium Bipolar Plates Using Micro-stamping Process
Micro-stamping process is one of the most cost-effective methods to manufacture metallic bipolar plates (BPPs). This research investigates the forming of titanium thin sheet as a potential candidate for BPPs in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this regard, the process was first simulated using finite element (FE) code Abaqus. Afterward, experimental tests were implemented and the ...
متن کاملIdentifying Sources of Variation in Sheet Metal Stamping
Manufacturers using traditional process control charts to monitor their sheet metal stamping processes often encounter out-of-control signals indicating that the process mean has changed. Unfortunately, a sheet metal stamping process does not have the necessary adjustability in its process variable input settings to allow adjusting the mean response in an out-of-control condition, hence the sig...
