Description
Cold forming tools experience significant mechanical and tribological stresses throughout their operational lifespan, which in some instances can result in premature damage to the tools. Given that these tools constitute a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs for components, it is crucial to proactively address potential issues during the design phase. The COLDFORM® software offers the ability to assess the mechanical strength of dies, thereby enhancing their longevity. It calculates stress distribution within the die, as well as monitoring deformations, wear, temperature variations, and any damage that may occur throughout the process. Furthermore, COLDFORM® can perform quick analyses by applying the stresses derived from the forming process to the tools. Additionally, the software supports coupled part/tool simulations, yielding highly accurate outcomes. With features focused on pre-stressed dies, it allows for precise assessment of the required pre-stressing for the interference fit of the tools. This capability ultimately aids manufacturers in optimizing tool performance and reducing costs associated with tool replacements.
Description
VPS-MICRO estimates the lifespan of manufactured components by modeling the characteristics of their constituent materials. This innovative software is founded on three fundamental principles. First, durability is influenced not just by the stress applied but also by how the material responds to that stress. Second, the materials used in creating intricate components and systems often exhibit non-uniform properties. Lastly, computational resources are more cost-effective and quicker compared to traditional physical testing or prototyping methods. Building upon these concepts, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® serves as a sophisticated computational tool that effectively considers a material’s response to imposed stress, its inherent variability, various damage mechanisms, geometric factors, and the operational conditions over time. Consequently, it produces a three-dimensional, time-sensitive simulation that reliably mirrors the real-world physics behind the onset, progression, and reasons for material damage, offering valuable insights for engineers and designers alike. This capability not only enhances understanding but also aids in improving the design and reliability of future products.
