Sheet metal coils are widely used in the steel, automotive, and electronics industries. Many of these coils are processed through metal stamping or laser cutting to form different types of shapes. Sheet metal coil leveling is an essential procedure before any metal forming process. In practice, this leveling procedure is now executed by operators and primarily relies on their experience, resulting in many trials and errors before settling on the correct machine parameters. In smart manufacturing, it is required to digitize the machine’s parameters to achieve such a leveling process. Although smart manufacturing has been adopted in the manufacturing industry in recent years, it has not been implemented in steel leveling. In this paper, a novel leveling method for flatness leveling is proposed and validated with data collected by flatness sensors for measuring each roll adjustment position, which is later processed through the multi-regression method. The regression results and experienced machine operator results are compared. From this research, not only can the experience of the machine operators be digitized, but the results also indicate the feasibility of the proposed method to offer more efficient and accurate machine settings for metal leveling operations.

Die Forming

In the machining industry, sheet metal stamping is an important method of metal forming, and stamping die forming quality depends on the structure and process design, the use of finite element technology(FEM), computer simulation of sheet metal forming process, forming the law and indicates that there defects in order to achieve the most optimal design. This article describes the increased exposure to whole search to determine the finite element calculation speed and accuracy of a new method— space sub-domain method.

Cold Metal

Single point incremental forming is one of the most intensely researched die-less manufacturing process. This process implies the usage of a CNC equipment or a serial robot which deforms a sheet metal with the help of a relatively simple tool that follows an imposed toolpath. As every cold metal forming process, besides the many given advantages it has also some drawbacks. One big drawback in comparison with other cold metal forming processes is the low accuracy of the deformed parts. The aim of this research is to investigate the sheet metal bending mechanism through finite element method analysis. The results shows that the shape of the retaining rings has a big influence over the final geometrical accuracy of the parts manufactured through single point incremental forming.

Metal Forming Process

To improve sheet metal forming process simulation using finite element method, there is a need to incorporate an appropriate constitutive equation capable of describing the Bauschinger effect and the so-called cyclic transient, derived from a near to actual sheet metal forming process testing tool. A cyclic loading tool has been developed to test and record the characteristics of sheet metal deformation by investigating the Bauschinger effect factors (BEF) and cyclic hardening behaviour. Experimental investigation conducted on low carbon steel and stainless steel demonstrates that the tool is able to record sheet metal behaviour under cyclic loading. The results are analysed for signs of the Bauschinger effect and cyclic hardening effect. It was found that the Bauschinger effect does occur during bending and unbending loadings in sheet metal forming process.
