Stability of a Suppression Method of Dent and Spring-Back in Zigzag Bending of Sheet Metal/Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses upon zigzag-shape bending for suppression of defects, including dent and springback. A series of finite element analyses was carried out in order to optimize the bending condition for suppression of these defects. As a result, it was clarified that a diagonal movement of the upper die was effective for suppression of dents while a rather vertical movement of the upper die was effective for suppression of springback. In order to suppress dent and springback at the same time, this paper proposes another method of bending method, whereby the upper die with special shape moves in a diagonal way. Moreover, the stability of the method against variation of tool dead position, which would be caused by elastic deformation of supporting members, was studied by FEM, followed by experimental verification.
