Description
The tool design with the program module PAM-TUBEMAKER including the creation of the bending line is also covered. The starting point is the component geometry. Based on the part geometry, process parameters such as the recommended outer tube diameter are determined. The hydroforming tools are created using support profiles, and the bending line is determined. This is followed by the simulation of the tube bending and then the hydroforming simulation taking into account the bending results. In addition to wrinkles or ruptures in the hydroforming process, the simulation is also able to show any problems that may occur when closing the tools, such as clamping points. The training is accompanied by practical exercises. Only tasks with a practical orientation will be worked on.
