A design system of dies for hot extrusion of structural shapes such as Z' s, L' s, T' s, U' s and H' s from aluminum alloys was developed in this study. The developed design system of dies is based of established die design rule system. The design rules for die design are obtained from the handbooks, plasticity theories and relevant references. The environment of the system is AutoCAD and AutoLISP, the graphic programming language was used for the configuration of the system. This system includes five major modules such as section shape design module, die opening number module. die opening layout module, die correction module and die bearing design module that are used to determine design variables. This system would be used to design of dies for hot extrusion from aluminum alloys and widely used in manufacturing course..

In the field of design and making tool for press working, the progressive die for very thick sheet metal(SS41, 4mm) is a specific division. In order to prevent the defects, the optimum design of the production part, Strip layout, die design, die making and tryout etc. are necessary. They require analysis of many kinds of important factors, i.e. theory and practice of metal working process and its phenomena, die structure, machining condition for die making, die materials, heat treatment of die component, know-how and so on. In this study, we designed and constructed a progressive die of multi stage and tried out through the I-DEAS, DEFORM, and CAD/CAM application. Out of these processes, the die development could be taken advanced technology. Especially the result of try out and its analysis become to the characteristic of this study.

This paper describes a research work of developing computer-aided design of a product with bending and piercing for progressive working. An approach to the system for progressive working os based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theorise, experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. the system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and is composed of three main modules, which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern layout and strip layout modules. Strip layout of the system is designed by using fuzzy set theory. Process planning is determinated by fuzzy value according to several rules. Strip layout drawing generated in strip layout module is presented in 3-D graphic forms, including bending sequences and piercing processes with punch profiles divided into for external area. Results obtained using the modules enable the manufacturer for progressive working of electric products to be more efficient in this field.

In this study a 3-D automatic die design supporting system for a bonnet panel has been developed using Pro/ROGRAM of the widespread CAD software Pro/ENGINEER A standard drawing die was defined in terms of the punch profile, the die face geometry, and the blank sheet size. The strip layout of a trimming die was defined, in addition, in terms of the trimming line and the locations of scrap cutters. Necessary relations for each design step are formulated and rules for bottom-up type 3-D die design were set up for the automatic design of drawing and trimming dies of a bonnet. With the input geometric data of punch profile, die face, and blank sheet, this 3-D design supporting system could complete the basic design process, in case of the bonnet drawing die, in a time 78% shorter than that required by a typical 2-D CAD system. The new design system showed remarkable design efficiency also when it was applied to the case of redesign and modification of the previous standard output for a different car type.

Today most companies are designing their automobile shapes by using 3 dimensional CAD software, CATIA. And they used to design 2 dimensional press dies to do some elastic work on their products, but they are currently trying to make use of dimensional software, Pro-Engineer. In this case, they have to change the 3 dimensional product design data to the proper format data for the following process. This paper will show the data loss and the deformation during data transfer between CATIA and Pro-Engineer, and then suggest a solution for these problems. Product's surface will be automatically placed by automatic press tipping angle setting in CATIA to prevent the product from being stuck in the press die. The 2 dimensional section view which is based on the tipping angle setting is created by Z-map. And, to remove the data loss and the data deformation in pro-Engineer, the product surface are delivered to the next process after it is changed to the 2 dimensional Z-map curves in CATIA. finally, this paper suggests an algorithm to develop the automatic design program for the press layout which regenerates product shape surface from the previous process.

In a multi-cavity mold having a runner layout of a fish bone structure, problems of unbalanced filling between cavities occur constantly. Unbalanced charging lowers the dimensional accuracy of a molded article and causes deformation after molding. To solve this problem, the gate size connected to each cavity is adjusted using the BGV (Balanced Gate Value) equation. In this paper, in order to solve the filling imbalance problem of the runner layout mold of fish bone structure through injection molding analysis study, we compared the charging imbalance phenomenon before and after improvement after adjusting the gate size by applying BGV equation. From the results of the molding analysis, the shrinkage ratio before and after the improvement of the molded article was improved by only about 0.08%. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the charging imbalance problem was not significantly improved even when the BGV equation was applied.

This study improves the formability in fine-blanking the lock plate of car seat belts using a low carbon steel(SM35C) plate. The optimal die design for the forming process is proposed using rules for process planning based on theories and field experiences. The optimal design is analyzed using commercial finite element software in order to solve the fracture problems in the extrusion process. Through the improved layout based on the FEM results, the fracture of the extruded part and the roll over problem are solved. Furthermore, it is demonstrated through the shown from experiments that the extruded part does not break in the modified die.

In this study, a high-speed procedure to be used in composite molding technology is developed for the production of a hybrid supercapacitor in a progressive and revolutionary current in a production system, as are the related operating conditions. Mold parts with solid modeling, the ease of programming of future mold product designs, tolerance management, and pre-explode tests by the building of a progressive die design system using Cimatron_E10 Die Design Software for the strip layout are done. The capacity of the super-hybrid composite mold design will save time and money through its verification of the manufacture of molds. We plan to apply this to future related products for production cost savings of more than 30% achieved by considering the components of the production costs, labor, and material costs of production as compared to conventional production methods.
