Abstract
- The iterative development process of forming tools is cost- and labor-intensive. The main reason for this is the high complexity of interaction between forming machine, tool structure, and process, which is currently only partially taken into account in simulations and during tool tryout. By digitizing the tool development process, it is possible to save iteration loops during the design phase before tool production and during rework in the adjustment phase. In this article, a novel approach for the consideration of the elastic properties of the clamping surfaces of the forming machine within the forming simulation is presented. A case study on the virtualization of pressure distribution (PD) during the die spotting process and the derivation of recommended actions for the rework based on virtual PDs was conducted. The results demonstrate the potential for saving time, cost, and labor during the tryout process in sheet metal forming.
