Improved Roller Hemming System for High Volume Part Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

Roller hemming is usually applied for hang-on-parts such as hoods, doors or trunk-lids which all have complex non-linear geometries. The flange is often hemmed along both surfaces and edges which have 3D curvilinear shapes. Minimization of hemming defects and the requirement to improve cycle time of the roller hemming process are essential for roller hemmed hang-on-parts in the automotive industry. Different systems such as the driven roller hemming provide the possibility to increase the strain rate without loosing surface quality and dimensional stability. Investigating the influence of friction during roller hemming, results will give an understanding of the advantage for mentioned roller hemming systems.
