Increase of the Dimensional Accuracy of Sheet Metal Parts Utilizing a Model-Based Path Planning for Robot-Based Incremental Forming

Abstract

The principle of robot-based incremental sheet metal forming is based on flexible shaping by means of a freely programmable path-synchronous movement of two tools, which are operated by two industrial robots. The final shape is produced by the incremental infeed of the forming tool in depth direction and its movement along the geometry’s contour in lateral direction. The main problem during the forming process is the influence on the dimensional accuracy resulting from the compliance of the involved machine structures and the spring-back effects of the workpiece. The project aims to predict these deviations caused by compliances and carry out a compensative path planning based on this prediction. Finite element analysis using a material model developed at the Institute of Applied Mechanics (IFAM) [1] has been used for the simulation of the forming process.
