Abstract
Process control ensures that stamped part quality is maintained in the presence of operational variations and disturbances. Control objectives are achieved by adjusting the flow of metal into the die cavity in response to these variations and disturbances. This chapter provides an overview of the process and equipment used for sheet-metal stamping, and describes the methods through which material flow control can be effected during the stamping process. Simplified kinematic and dynamic models for press motion are derived, followed by a description of hydraulic actuation to implement variable binder force for material flow control.
