A Computer Program for Calculating the Circular Product Dimensions During Deep Drawing Operations Steps

Abstract

Deep drawing process is an important industrial processes where it has beenextensively used. It is a process for converting the blank metal to make cylindricalshapein most of the cases. A research program for performing basic calculationsrelated to the product shape was utilized. Eighteen geometric shapes have beenselected for the production in this process. The program is include the generalequations for this controlling process for each form. When choosing one of the shapesin the program, the dimensions of the desired product are selected. In other words, theinputs to the program are the required dimensions of the product before reaching therequired deportation. In addition, diameter, height and other related dimension arecomputed which were chosen for each stage throughout the operation. Visual Basiclanguage was used to implement this program because of its ability to deal withgraphical interface. The program also accounts for a large number of mathematicalequations. Computer program is aimed to help designers templates deep drawingquickly through the implementation of the process, and this exceeds the designerexperience that is required to perform the require calculations.
