| Abstract Scope |
Digital incremental forming is a numerically controlled process to form parts with complex morphologies and tailored engineering properties. This process does not require custom tools and dies, substantially decreasing cost and lead time. This paper describes the design and application of a digital incremental forming system. The current system consists of a ram rated to one ton, a linear axis to change dies, a robot to manipulate the part position, and a line scanner to measure part morphology. In addition, a video camera and a force sensor are used for in process measurement and control. Operations will be presented where force control and simple part morphology control are implemented in-situ. Other operations will demonstrate the system’s capability to do incremental control, namely, the part will be measured between forming steps and the subsequent forming step will be automatically modified based on these measurements. |
