Finite Element Analysis and Optimization for the Structure of NC Forming Machine

Abstract:

Numerical control (NC, for short) forming machine is kind of digital forming equipment, which is based on the development of manufacturing technology without pattern, and can get mold by processing module directly, and its mechanical structure is mainly composed of the main structure, moving system, tool system and other components. The main structure is not only the foundation and framework of the entire machine, but also the most important component bearing pressure. The moving system is the most critical part of forming machine to achieve its fundamental function. Therefore, the design and development of the main structure and moving system have directly impact on the performance and service life of the forming machine, which is an important factor to reflect the level of the overall design. In this paper, structural static analysis of the main structure and moving system was made through finite element numerical simulation, the more reasonable scheme was optimized, by which the safety and reliability of forming machine was ensured. The research results can provide the necessary technical support for the structural design of NC forming machine.
