  • Integrating Cold Forging and Progressive Stamping for Cost
    Precision Cold Forging Progressive Stamping Enables Cost Effective Production of Complex Parts Overview Both Cold Forging and Precision Stamping are proven technologies used in the fabrication of parts for a wide range of industries. Many of our previous Tech Bulletins have detailed the benefits of each technology, and in several cases, these processes are thought of as an either- or choice. This Tech Bulletin provides insights into how combining these technologies in a process known as Precision Cold Forging Progressive Stamping can provide significant synergies and additional benefits for the cost-effective production of complex parts that cannot easily be created by either technique alone. What is Cold Forging? As detailed in other Interplex Tech Bulletins, Cold Forging is essentially an impact forming process in which billets of raw material are compressed and reformed into a part’s desired shape. Cold Forging offers the key benefits of lower costs, rapid high-volume throughput, high part strength, and very efficient material utilization. This, in comparison to processes like machining that remove Figure 1 – Cold Forged significant amounts of raw material rather than simply reforming all the Automotive Seat Belt Gear material into the desired shape. What is Precision Stamping? Precision Stamping is another proven technology that uses a press and die to form sheet metal, blanks or coil material into desired shapes. Variations of the stamping process can effectively yield several different output results including bending, embossing, flanging, coining, etc. Like Cold Forging, Precision Stamping typically offers high material utilization with minimal waste and can also deliver high-volume production results.

Doctor of technical sciences, professor Department of “Mechanical engineering and automation”, Fergana Polytechnic Institute, Fergana, Uzbekistan Assistant department of “Mechanical engineering and automation”, Fergana Polytechnic Institute, Fergana, Uzbekistan ABSTRACT: In conditions of increasing globalization at modern production facilities, the ability of a modern engineering company to compete in the production of high-tech products is determined by the technological capabilities of the product. These opportunities are represented by quality improvement, timely implementation and low economic costs. Increasing productivity in this direction is an important achievement in the development of modern engineering production. With the expansion of the product range, the dynamic development of such production involves a constant increase in the need for technological equipment of CAD / CAM / CAE systems. It is characterized by high-quality and resource-intensive production conditions, the development of new products, the development of technological systems and complex production technologies. KEY WORDS: system, G-code, RDB machine, software, production, design, details, cutting tool, cutting process I. INTRODUCTION Read more about the project, details of the maintenance, and the details of the technology and functional details of the role of the manufacturer in the production of machine tools. We are working on the problems of machine-to- machine forecasting. CAD / CAM / CAE. The role and importance of CAD / CAM / CAE systems in the design and manufacture of engineering products indicates that the design department at the manufacturing enterprise should take into account financial resources in the production and production of marketable products.

  • Progressive Stampings
    Perfection Spring and Stamping Corp. Defining What We Do…. Progressive Stampings Progressive (punch and blanking) die with strip and punchings. Progressive stamping is a metalworking method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal raw material, combined with an automatic feeding system. The feeding system pushes a strip of metal (as it unrolls from a coil) through all of the stations of a progressive stamping die. Each station performs one or more operations until a finished part is made. The final station is a cutoff operation, which separates the finished part from the carrying web. The carrying web, along with metal that is punched away in previous operations, is treated as scrap metal. The progressive stamping die is placed into a reciprocating stamping press. As the press moves up, the top die moves with it, which allows the material to feed. When the press moves down, the die closes and performs the stamping operation. With each stroke of the press, a completed part is removed from the die. Since additional work is done in each "station" of the die, it is important that the strip be advanced very precisely so that it aligns within a few thousandths of an inch as it moves from station to station. Bullet shaped or conical "pilots" enter previously pierced round holes in the strip to assure this alignment since the feeding mechanism usually cannot provide the necessary precision in feed length. The dies are usually made of tool steel to withstand the high shock loading involved, retain the necessary sharp cutting edge, and resist the abrasive forces involved.

  • Sorting of Automotive Manufacturing Wrought Aluminum Scrap
    Sorting of Automotive Manufacturing Wrought Aluminum Scrap A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree in Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering By Shady J. Zummar Ghazaleh Date: 04/26/2018 Sponsoring Organization: Metal Processing Institute Approved by: ________________________________________ Professor Diran Apelian Alcoa-Howmet Professor of Engineering, Advisor Founding Director of Metal Processing Institute Abstract An increase of 250% in wrought aluminum usage in automotive manufacturing is expected by 2020. Consequently, the generation of new aluminum sheet scrap will also increase. Producing secondary aluminum only emits 5% of the CO2 compared to primary aluminum – a significant 95% decrease. With the advent of opto-electronic sorting technologies, recovery and reuse of new aluminum scrap (generated during manufacturing) is at hand. A series of interviews with industrial experts and visits to automotive stamping plants were performed in order to identify: (i) the most common wrought aluminum alloys from which scrap is generated; (ii) the present scenario — how scrap is collected today; and (iii) the types of contamination that must be accounted for during and after sortation. Recommendations are made herein that will support the development of an optimized scrap management system including sorting criteria that will enable closed loop recycling. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 Acknowledgements 5 1 Introduction

  • Achieving Cosmetic Standards in the Stamping Press
    Case Study: Achieving Cosmetic Standards in the Stamping Press Customer’s Goals Select a tooling shop that could design and build a progressive stamping die of this magnitude. Select a metal stamping supplier with the capability and capacity to produce these larger-sized, highly cosmetic side tables. Design and Manufacturing Process Customer Ultra designed and built a 144-inch progressive stamping die equipped with multiple stations and in-die sensors to produce the Major Appliance Manufacturer side table on our 800-ton press. The part's stringent cosmetic standards made it a challenge to metal stamp and this case Part study outlines how we established a successful production process. Stainless Steel Side Tables To remove sharp edges on the side table during metal stamping the Die Manufacturing Issue Designers utilized two methods; hemming and coining. Hemming Utilizing their own equipment and works better on longer, straighter edges and so this method is primarily employees to produce this part was applied on the side edges of the tables. Hemming precisely wraps the sheet not sustainable for the long-term. metal back around itself and forms a clean, radius edge. Coining operations are then used to remove the sharp edges on the remaining areas of the side table including interior locations; resulting in a stamped cut edge. Another key component to maintaining the cosmetic standards was locating a steel supplier that could provide plastic coating on one-side of the sheet metal and within the specified material thickness. Finally, during metal stamping two methods are utilized to maintain clean surfaces on the side tables.
