Abstract

Roll-to-roll forming process is one of important metal processing technology because the process is simple and economical. These days, with these merits, roll-to-roll forming process is tried to be employed in manufacturing the circuit board, barrier ribs and solar cell plate. The solar cell plate may have millions of patterns, and the analysis of forming considering all the patterns is impossible due to the computational costs. In this study, analyses are carried out for various numbers of patterns and the results are compared. It is shown that the analyses results with four row patterns and twelve row patterns are same. So, it is considered that the analysis can be carried out for only four rows of pattern for the design of incremental roll-to-roll forming process. Also formability is analysed for various number of mesh, protrusion shapes and forming temperature.

롤-롤(Roll to roll) 성형은 공정이 비교적 간단하고 생산 효율이 높은 중요한 금속 성형 공정이다. 이러한 이유로 롤-롤 성형 공정은 최근에 솔라셀 집전판, 디스플레이 격벽구조, 그리고 회로기판 성형 등 넓은 범위에서의 활용이 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 솔라셀 집전판에 수십만 개의 홈을 성형하는 공정에 대해 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 수백만 개 홈에 대한 성형을 해석하는 것은 컴퓨터 용량과 시간의 문제로 불가능하기 때문에 공정 설계를 가능하게 하는 최소의 문제 영역을 해석 결과를 바탕으로 설정하였다. 그리고, 홈의 형상과 온도에 따른 해석을 수행하여 그 결과를 분석함으로서 공정 설계의 방향성을 제시하였다.
