 COPRAź
Massive Forming - 5 easy Steps to a new design:
1st step:
The wire- or profile cross
section desired is being designed using a CAD system (CoCreate
ME10 or AutoCAD) and imported into the COPRAź data base.
2nd step:
The
user defines the number of forming steps.
COPRAź calculates the intermediate forming steps taking into
account the user inputs. A main feature is the fact that every
contour point of the cross section will be accurately mapped on
the contour of the following forming step. Even a percental
change of the cross-sectional area can be chosen.
3rd step:
Of course, the calculated forming steps can be modified using
the functionality of your CAD system. This is important, if the
user wants to change the current cross-section to a special
shape wanted - due to company or machine dependent restrictions.
4th step:
Supplementary changes (according to step 3) might change the
percental relationship between the different cross-sections. A
special COPRAź function will put all forming steps into the
right proportions again.
5th step:
The roll tools are being designed using a CAD system like ME10
or AutoCAD.
Administration of
different cross-sections (e.g. wire sections)
The final cross-sections and drawings are stored into a data
base management system: CADFinder for ME10 (or AutoManager if
AutoCAD is being used). This allows a quick retrieval of
repetitive parts or drawings. CADFinder offers a retrieval
function tailored to find even similar sections. Also updating
service and release management are taken into account.
Scanning of templates (required
for the roll manufacturing)
A common problem is the fact that most of the drawings differ
from the existing rolls - due to modifications being done in the
past. This means that it makes much more sense to scan and
archive the templates itself rather than the drawings:
the COPRAź Massive Forming software package includes a tailored
software module for scanning the contours of templates and
archiving in the data base management system.
By
the way: data M also offers a solution to scan even completed roll tools.
