DIE LAYOUT
DL, a 3D supporting tool, is used for improving quality of die layout design during the design stage. The tool enables the System operators to previously check and examine 3D images and output 3D result data, before acutally pressing a metal sheet into shapes and transferring the press-formed metal sheet to a subsequent process.
This "3DDL Support" function serves the System operators to improve the operations in the subsequent processes by using the 3D result data.
The previous examinations and responses ensure a process of manufacturing without re-work.
General view of 3DDL helping function
※CADmeiste2022 is strenthened by commands in the subsequent processes for automatically positioning Pierce Parts and adjusting and finalizing positions of die parts tentatively put by DL designers based upon Pierce Holes data assigned by DL designeds to each process. The Company will continuously support efficient operations through coodinations between commands of DL design and those of die design.
Effects of 3DDL Support Functions
Mold design can effective use of cushion pin placement、height of standard position、Part Location Consideration for mold design and DL data with confirmed transport.
Support functions for examining product manufacturing perspectives
Press-Nesting
Input data of a geometric net composed of blank lines. This function uses the input data in order to compute a layout of blank-line geometric nets on a steel plate.
The function computes and indicates use efficiency (hereinafter referred to as “material utilization”) % of a steel plate.
The ’Start point’ command
This capability enables users to calculate the center of mass based on the data of model shape, and decide the starting point.
- Function of setting a start point
Commands for Considering Press Direction / Cam Direction
The commands enable consideration of the press/cam directions without pending or compromising the processes of assessment.
It has the capability of suitably adjusting the unit and sequence of rotation even if a die layout designer indicates a press direction for rotation angle of a model through the use of number of decimal places.
The data can be output in XML or CSV formats.
- Capabilities of assessment
(the "HitTiming" command, the "AbruptWallMeasurement" command, the "Undercut" command, the "TrimCondition" command, the "Pierce_Condition" command)The "HitTiming" command
Commands for Assessment and Output of Information
DL has the embedded capabilities below for assessment during the phase of process design.
- The "HoleSimpleEval" command
- The "FigureDepthMeasurement" command
- The "TrimCondition" command
- The"Panel_Assemble&Develop_Switch" command
- The "ProcessLyrList" command
- The "DL_InfoOutput" command
- The "Press_PartsPlacementInfoOutput" command
The "CreateBead" command
This command enables a simultaneous creation of Bead geometry and detailed figures thereof through simple operations. The detailed figures will be attached to drawings
- Evaluation capabilities (Forecast of flange expansion point, forecast of the occurrence point of the first shock, influx point, etc.)
The "MaxRoundedCornerLine" command
This command enables a creation of a curve that indicates a maximum of R for fillet processing. The curve can be created through intuitive operations of input.
ScrapCutterLine_Examination
The “ScrapCutterLineExamination” command enables the System to display automatically Scrap Cutter Lines on the basis of data about Drawn Surface, Trim Lines, Blank Inflow Lines, Scrap Sizes. Furthermore, the System operators can adjust intuitively reference positions, angles, etc.
Function of support to considerate about product transport
Set Data
The "SetData" command can set and edit nesesary information for 3DDL.
Layout Examination
The “LayOutExamination” command enables the System operators to visually examine three-dimensionalized layout images in light of examining cushion pins, processes, feed bar inner width, transference between processes and parts positions.
Function of support to translate into 2D
The "PlaceProcessSymbol" command
Placing symbols/signs at each drawing is bothersome.
This command enables an easy one-time placement of symbols/signs in each drawing of individual phases through simple operations. Users can register their symbols/signs that they use.
The "PlaceProcessSheet" command
Creating operation schedules is bothersome.
This command enables an easy creation of operation schedules through intuitive operations.
