Substitutive Press-Bolster and Press-Ram Models for the Virtual Estimation of Stamping-Tool Cambering

| description | Today’s stamping simulations are realized by ignoring the elastic deformation of the press and tooling system through the assumption of a rigid behavior and a perfect press stroke. However, in reality, the press and tool components deform elastically and are one of the major error sources for the final adjustment and blue-spotting of the dies. In order to tackle this issue, a new approach is proposed in this study that substitutes the press stiffness by means of a substitutive model composed of cost-effective shell and beam elements. The substitute model was calibrated using full-scale measurements, in which a 20,000 kN trial press was experimentally characterized by measuring its deformation under static loads. To examine the robustness of the substitute model, a medium-size tool and a large-size tool were simulated together with the substitutive model. To this end, a B-pillar tool was re-machined based on the substitute-model results and a new cambering procedure was proposed and validated throughout the blue-painting procedure. The newly developed substitute model was able to replicate the global stiffness of the press with a high accuracy and affordable calculation time. The implementation of the findings can aid toolmakers in eliminating most of the reworking and home-line trials. |
