Innovative Machine Design for Incremental Profile Forming

Abstract:

The Incremental Profile Forming process (IPF) is a new method to manufacture tubes and profiles with variable cross-section design along the centre-line of the profile. The innovative process design enables the combination of high workpiece complexity and high process flexibility. For this reason, a machine concept was developed and finally a prototype realized. The new machine consists of eight numerically controlled axes, which allow the processing of thinwalled tubes and profiles with a maximum diameter of 80 mm. The design of the machine combined with the control system leads to a forming technology with a high degree of flexibility, which is an advantage of the process. Depending on the final workpiece shape the forming process proceeds in several steps and can therefore be considered as an incremental forming process. Furthermore, the tool concept supports both a kinematical and a form-closed forming process.
