Deep Draw Technology Seminar
Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - Wednesday, December 6, 2017
Cleveland, OH
EVENT DETAILS
Discover how sheetmetal strength and thickness, forming speeds, surface coatings, lubricant types, die design, tool steel selection and heat treatment affect part formability, process performance and die life in deep-drawing applications.
Seminar topics include:
- Tooling design principles for deep drawing
- Deep drawing irregular-shaped parts
- Draw die addendum and blankholder development
- Selecting a suitable tool steel based on performance requirements or failure modes
- Troubleshooting and diagnosing tooling problems
- The science behind friction at the tool surface
- Understanding basic lubricant formulation
- Material properties and their influence on forming and deep-drawing processes
- How properties of higher-strength steels affect the deep-drawing process
- How computerized die tryout makes die build more efficient and effective
- Different force systems and the relevant applications for each type
- How servo-controlled force systems can improve formability in the deep-draw process
- High-pressure fluid cell forming of deep-drawn parts
- Design considerations
- Self-contained vs. hosed systems
- Hoseless plate systems
- Nitrogen manifolds
- Hydraulic manifolds
- Servo-hydraulic systems
