Virtual manufacturing in the automotive panel die Manufacturing
Virtual manufacturing since people have been trying to give it a uniform definition, but the virtual manufacturing involving a wide range of knowledge, different researchers, the starting point and the focus is different, and thus also far different from the understanding, leading to virtual manufacturing is still so far do not have a precise definition.
With the rapid development of the national economy, a substantial increase in people's living standards, people are increasing demand for motor vehicles, automotive mold has become increasingly fierce market competition. "Good quality", "high accuracy", "low prices", "short delivery time" and other people's Hyundai Motor is the basic requirement of mold. However, the car is a large-scale die molds, which are huge in size and structural complexity, size, accuracy and surface roughness higher, creating considerable difficulties. Moreover, in order to reduce the weight of molds used in the base hollowed out of thin-walled structure and easy maintenance in order to face the middle inlay structure used for the design and manufacture of greater difficulties. Generally speaking, a car parts cover the needs of three or more than 3 to complete the process, that is, the production of an automotive panel parts need at least 3 or more than three mold. If the automotive panel parts in the design, when manufacturers do not take into account the actual situation, then designed the molds in the manufacturing time may simply not be able to carry out processing, or created by the mold can not produce the desired product, resulting in mold scrapped to extend the product development cycle, such an economic loss is unthinkable. However, the mold at the design stage can not be expected to occur in the manufacturing process will be difficult.。Virtual Manufacturing Technology is a software technology, is a CAD / CAE / CAM / CAPP and simulation technology, a higher stage, it can die on your computer to achieve from design to manufacturing to test the entire process, in accordance with the virtual model of the simulation process can be in the computer on the basis of "real" situation of the processing to modify the design of molds to avoid in the mold manufacturing process problems that may arise so as to achieve to reduce mold development cycle, reduce development costs, improve production efficiency, so it is automotive die the most potential to develop the most practical one of the most effective technology.
