Computer Aided Process Planning for Sheet Metal based on Information Management

چکیده
Over the last years, attention in the manufacturing cycle has shifted towards Concurrent Engineering (CE). With this, the integration of the different product life cycle processes has become a focus in both research and industry. However, it is obvious that the integration of all manufacturing processes, taking into account all life cycle aspects from initial functional requirements to final disposal, is hardly feasible in the traditional way. In this paper, the execution of the manufacturing cycle based on Information Management is explained by describing the development of a generic architecture for computer aided process planning. This architecture is elaborated upon for the field of sheet metal manufacturing in a small batch part environment. keywords: Concurrent Engineering, CAPP, architecture

متن کاملActivity model and computer aided system for defining sheet metal process planning
This paper focuses on the problem of choosing the manufacturing route and characteristics in sheet metal processes, a very important element in computer aided process planning (CAPP) systems. At present, decisions concerning the operations, die, machine and process parameters used in sheet metal are based on experience. One of the objectives of this work has been to develop an activity model to...
متن کاملSequencing and scheduling in the sheet metal shop
1.1 History Sheet metal operations have been in existence since 8000 B.C. (Fries-Knoblach, 1999). Due to its long history, sheet metalworking is, unfortunately, often seen as archaic and uninteresting. That metal sheets can be transformed with the aid of robust machines into fancy consumer products with tight tolerances is inconceivable to many. Yet, sheet metal operations are used for producin...
متن کاملThe generation of bending sequences in a CAPP system for sheet-metal components
An important process-planning task in sheet-metal manufacturing is the determination of bending sequences for individual components. Computer-aided generation of these sequences, as part of a computer-aided process-planning (CAPP) system, can relieve the workload of process-planning departments, this being especially important in small batch manufacturing environments. This paper discusses the ...
متن کاملReview: Geometric and Dimensional Tolerances Modeling for Sheet Metal Forming and Integration with CAPP
The focus of this publication is a review of the state of the art in tolerance analysis, synthesis and transfer for geometric and dimensional tolerances (GDT) in sheet metal forming and the integration solutions with computer-aided process planning systems. In this context, the general tolerance methods are first described. Then the mathematical models for sheet metal tolerance analysis and syn...
