Flexible Stretch Forming Technology for Sheet Metal Based on Discrete-Gripper and Multi-Point Die

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the problem of low material utilization in traditional stretch forming process, a flexible stretch forming method was proposed, which can be realized by interaction of the multi-point stretch forming die with discrete-gripper stretch forming machine. The principle and characteristics of sheet metal flexible stretch forming technology was introduced, structural composition and working principle of the multi-point stretch forming die and discrete-gripper stretch forming machine were expounded, and the technology experiments was carried out with a self-designed flexible stretch forming technology equipment for sheet metal. The experimental results indicate that structure of multi-point stretch forming die and discrete-gripper stretch forming machine are reasonable, and flexible stretch forming technology can be realized by above-mentioned die and machine, stretch forming parts has a good quality and its shape error can satisfy requirements of production.
