Effect of Forming Parameters on Flexible-Bending of Three-Dimensional Tubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flexible-bending is an advanced bending method, especially suitable for small batch production of tubes. The shape of forming parts is mainly related to the offset of the bend die instead of the geometry of it. Based on flexible-bending technology, 3D bending of tubes was carried out by finite element method and the effects of primary parameters on the bending results were studied. The analysis results showed that3D continuous bending of tubes can be obtained by flexible-bending process; die offset, offset speed and feeding speed of tube have a great influence on the bending effect. Bending experiments of 3D tube were carried out by flexible-bending equipment and bending radii of the forming part were measured, the results were very close to that of simulations which proved the effectiveness of simulation.
