USING A CNC MILLING MACHINE FOR INCREMENTAL FORMING
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The Asymmetric single point incremental forming (ASPIF) is a manufacturing technology with a high degree of novelty which has been widely recognized as a solution with great potential in manufacturing small batches or even single sheet metal parts. Machines for this specifically process are hardly are almost inexistent for that reason some solutions would be using CNC machines or industrial robots. The technological equipment used for the incremental forming is the CNC cutting milling machine-tools. The control system of the CNC equipment is tuned according the accuracy domain of the milling process, which lies within micrometers range. The control parameters are chosen in order to minimize the positioning errors and to deal with predictable and constant forces. This research presents an approach of re-tuning the control system of the CNC equipment for the requirements of the ASPIF process, a smaller accuracy, lying within millimeters range and unpredictable forces. In the last stage of the paper there was realized a comparative study of the parts' roughness function of the employed incremental forming process.
