Air-Hydraulic Intensifier Equipment and Technology Research of Clinching

Abstract:

Base on clinching process, an air-hydraulic intensifier clinching devices was designed. In order to accurately control the quality of clinching, the displacement sensor and pressure sensor were joined in the control loop. So two different control feedback loops were founded. With two different ways of clinching tests, a clinching test method was founded, and the joint strength is analyzed. The result was that the shears strength and fracture strength in different directions of clinching samples are different.
