Intelligent control technology for deep drawing of sheet metal

Abstract

The intelligent press forming of sheet metal is a completely new and comprehensive technology that combines control-science, computer science, material science and metal forming theory. Although the technology originated in 1980s from America, it was focused on the spring-back of V-shaped bending. Not until 1990s was some pioneering research conducted on the intellectualized control of cup-deep drawing. The research field is expanded to the axis-symmetric part and non-axis symmetric part. After a series of theoretical and experimental research, an intellectualized control system on the deep drawing processing of sheet metal is developed. The common general feature of sheet metal on the process of deep drawing is analyzed and a completely mechanical model is concluded and the deep drawing intellectualized control of sheet metal is finally realized.
