description Usually, the conventional low-frequency vibration forming machine has a main transmission mechanism as the driving source to provide forming force and an auxiliary mechanism as the vibration source to generate vibration force. The transmission chain is long and the structure is complex and bloated, which affects the forming process and product quality. This paper presents a novel mechatronics idea of low-frequency vibration forming machine, which uses a slotted tubular permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (slotted-TPMLM) as both the driving source and the vibration source. The key is that the slotted-TPMLM provides sufficient forming force accompanied with a certain low-frequency vibration force. Consequently, this paper focuses on the thrust fluctuation caused by the structure. Firstly, the effect of end force and the influence of cogging force are discussed in detail through Fourier analyses, especially the stator adjustment length and pole-slot combination. Then, the slotted-TPMLM is designed, manufactured, and tested. The results show that the slotted-TPMLM can provide a certain low-frequency vibration force (low frequency of 4.8 Hz at 100 mm/s and 48 Hz at 1000 mm/s), which meets the technical requirements. Consequently, the feasibility of the novel mechatronics idea of a low-frequency vibration forming machine has been verified. This research will contribute to the field of linear motors and metal forming machines.
