Traditionally, industrial sheet metal forming technologies use rigid metallic tools to plastically deform the blanks. In order to reduce the tooling costs, rubber or flexible tools can be used together with one rigid (metallic) die or punch, in order to enforce a predictable and repeatable geometry of the stamped parts. If the complete tooling setup is built with deformable tools, the final part quality and geometry are hardly predictable and only a prototypal production is generally possible. The aim of this paper is to present the development of an automatic tool design procedure, based on the explicit FEM simulation of a stamping process, coupled to a geometrical tool compensation algorithm. The FEM simulation model has been first validated by comparing the experiments done at different levels of the process parameters. After the experimental validation of the FEM model, a compensation algorithm has been implemented for reducing the error between the simulated component and the designed one. The tooling setup is made of machined thermoset polyurethane (PUR) punch, die, and blank holder, for the deep drawing of an aluminum part. With respect to conventional steel dies, the plastic tools used in the test case are significantly more economic. The proposed procedure is iterative. It allows, already after the first iteration, to reduce the geometrical deviation between the actual stamped part and the designed geometry. This methodology represents one step toward the transformation of the investigated process from a prototyping technique into an industrial process for small and medium batch sizes.

Material Flow Control

A promising approach to control the material flow within deep drawing and workingmedia based forming processes is the structuring of the tool surfaces in the contact zones between workpiece and die. In order to obtain a sufficient and an optimised material flow respectively – especially for non-symmetric or non-uniform workpiece geometries – a locally adapted distribution of surface structures is a practicable solution. The macroscopic, and also the microscopic surface structures can be manufactured sufficiently by means of a high-speed cutting process. The shape of the tool surface structure has a significant influence on the tribological conditions between workpiece and die. To adjust the surface structure distribution to the required material flow distribution, detailed knowledge about the correlation of the material flow from the tribological conditions between sheet and the forming tool is required. A further innovative approach, particularly for decreasing the friction coefficient, is the use of an innovative hydrostatic pressure system using fluid ducts. Its functional principle is based on the reduction of the contact shear stress at the sheet surface in the contact zone with the forming tool by means of locally applying a hydrostatic fluid pressure. To obtain information about the correlation of the material flow from the tool surface structures and from the parameters of the hydrostatic pressure system respectively, fundamental investigations have been carried out. In order to optimise the material flow, these toolbased approaches can be used as stand-alone solution, or in addition to other systems. If the surface structures and a hydrostatic pressure system are used in combination with the multi-point blank holder, which has already been qualified for the high-pressure sheet metal forming (HBU), a powerful system for the material flow control is available.

Practical Recommendations

To determine the accuracy of the readjustable punches for separating operations (perforation + punching out) of sheet-metal forming, the accuracy parameters were analyzed using the random balance method using the method of experiment planning. Analytical dependencies are obtained to determine the values of deviation of the outer and inner contour dimensions of perforated and punched out sheet parts. From the dependencies obtained, it is possible to estimate and predict the value of deviation in the dimensions of the resulting part at any time during the operation of the punch. Practical recommendations on the calculation of the actuating dimensions of the working elements (stamping punch, matrix) of readjustable punches are offered.
