Abstract :
The design optimization and analysis of
progressive press tools for cabinet plates play a crucial role
in improving manufacturing processes and product quality.
This paper explores the various aspects involved in the
design optimization of progressive press tools and their
application to cabinet plate manufacturing. The progressive
press tool integrates multiple operations, such as blanking,
bending, forming, and piercing, into a single press stroke,
leading to increased efficiency, reduced production time, and
cost savings.
The paper discusses key components of progressive
press tools, including die sets, strip layouts, punches and
blanking units, guiding and alignment systems, and feed
and transfer systems. These components are optimized to
achieve maximum efficiency and minimize material
waste. Factors such as material selection, die
configuration, punch profiles, strip layout optimization,
and tool life considerations are taken into account during
the design optimization process. The design and
manufacturing of a tool for a component starts from the
detailed study of the component. To manufacture a cost
effective tool and to decide upon the design parameters,
the required inputs and constrains are very keenly
considered. The priority of any design will be customer
need and requirement, which includes the aesthetics
appeal of the part to be produced, its features like tool
life, costing, and maintenance and technical specification
are accurate and related to press data. Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) is highlighted as a valuable tool for
analyzing the structural integrity and performance
