“…Hence, it is necessary to equip sales personnel with knowledge about the downstream processes to improve the quality of their knowledge-intensive work. Current research is based on [12,13,16] to determine process plan, and provide tool cost and press details as inputs to cost calculation application.…”

Responding quickly to a customer's request with a sufficiently precise offer is one of the challenges faced by almost every manufacturing enterprise. Currently, necessary information is passed from department to department and in many cases this information is waiting to be processed. Further, number of offers that are converted into orders is small making the process of preparing an offer relatively costly. Research has been carried out to automatically determine process plans and estimate cost of simple sheet metal components. Unfortunately, this research has not been extended to simultaneously determine process plan and cost of complex deep drawn components. To overcome these drawbacks and to substantially improve the efficiency and precision of the time consuming process of offer preparation, a new methodology is presented which utilizes knowledge-based engineering and case-based reasoning. Inputs obtained to create an offer can be used to generate basic tool structure for the downstream processes.Keywords -Case-based reasoning, cost estimation, deep drawn sheet metal component, knowledge-based engineering 978-1-4244-4870-8/09/$26.00 ©2009 IEEE

“…In both cases, rules are stored in knowledge frames and can be arranged hierarchically. Research has been carried out to determine a process plan for components with multistage forming processes [15], progressive dies [13,16] and non-axisymmetric deep drawing components with elliptical shape [17].…”

“…A wide range of technical considerations in progressive die design is gathered in their system which enables the system to predict the number of stations and to place operating punches in each station. Vosniakos et al (2005) used the logic programming paradigm to assess part and tool design, as well as to suggest process plans in the context of sheet metal processing for a relatively well-defined and focused domain, i.e., U-shaped parts that require cutting and bending operations in progressive dies. They paid particular attention to the presentation of knowledge which was gathered from handbooks and its formal representation in Prolog.…”

Nowadays, progressive dies have a special role in various methods of sheet metal production. The design process, however requires a considerable amount of time and expertise. Strip layout design is a key step in progressive die design, therefore automating strip layout has a vital role in Computer Aided Progressive Die Design (CAPDD). In this paper, a mathematical model, based on set theory, is introduced to analyze the problem of strip layout. The model describes the mathematical nature of the strip layout problem and reveals the reason why researchers have always faced problems in optimizing strip layout automatically. Using the model presented, an algorithm is developed to optimize strip layout using the minimum number of stations and the torque equilibrium criteria. A prototype software is also developed to automate strip layout design based on the presented algorithm. The suitability of the model is then demonstrated through industrial examples.

“…However, some efforts have been realised about the parts design [13] or generation of algorithms, mainly related to the process planning; Ramana and Rao [14] developed a framework based on knowledge related to design-process planning integration for sheet metal components, although there is no evidence of its application. Also, Vosniakos et al [15] devised an intelligent system to process design of sheet parts. As can be seen, the researches of deepdrawing processes are not focused on the reduction of time, despite frequently being used on mass production due to the characteristics of the parts.…”

An optimization technique for combined processes of deep-drawing and ironing has been created in order to improve the total process time and cost in manufacturing procedures of axisymmetric components. The initial solution is optimized by means of an algorithm that minimizes the total time of the global process, based on relationship between lengths, diameters, and velocities of each stage of a multistage process and subject to constraints related to the drawing ratio. The enhanced solution offers a significant reduction in time and cost of the global process. The final results, applied to three cases, are compared with experimental results, showing the accuracy of the complete solution.
