Mechanical design of a progressive forming tool for sheet metal parts in automotive industry

Progresivna orodja so ena izmed najpogostejših orodij, za izdelavo manjših, serijskih izdelkov, v avtomobilski industriji. Konstruiranje takšnih orodij je precej zahtevno in zahteva veliko teoretskega, praktičnega znanja, truda ter časa. V diplomski nalogi so na kratko opisana progresivna orodja in predstavljen izdelek, za katerega je potrebno izdelati progresivno orodje po zahtevah naročnika. V prvih poglavjih je opisano kako se lotimo izdelave metodnega plana za izdelavo orodja. Temu sledi kratka razlaga uporabljenih preoblikovalnih metod in kako izračunamo potrebne sile v orodju. Na koncu pa so podrobneje opisani posamezni pomembni deli iz orodja, ki je bilo konstruirano.Progressive tooling is one of the most common tools for producing small, serialized products in the automotive industry. The construction of such tools is quite complex and requires a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge, effort, and time. In this thesis, progressive tools are briefly described, and a product is presented for which a progressive tool must be designed according to the customer\u27s requirements. The first chapters describe how to create a method plan for the tool. This is followed by a brief explanation of the forming methods and how to calculate the necessary forces in the tool. Finally, the individually essential parts of the tool that has been constructed, are described in more detail
