Calculation method and simulation of work of the ring elastic compensator for sheet-forming

Abstract

The design of the elastic ring compensator of «press-and-die” system errors, the method and software for calculating its geometric parameters are given in the article. The developed method is based on the account of unevenness of the radial and altitudinal deformation (barrel-type shape) of the elastic working element made of polyurethane. A specific example of computer implementation of the developed mathematical model for calculating the sizes of such a compensator for steel-forming operations on an open-crank press is made. Approbation of the compensator was carried out in industrial conditions.
