Study on Single Point Incremental Forming with the Roller Ball Tool for Increasing the Part Quality

Abstract

Utilizing the common sheet metal forming method has many challenges in the field of sheet metal forming. Higher product quality with the lower quantities is an important requirement in this manufacturing field. The incremental forming process (IPF) is an innovation technology that can satisfy these requirements. In this paper, the single point incremental forming (SPIF) with different roller ball tool was researched. The results show that the smaller ball could provide a better product quality. However, the bigger ball could create a deeper geometry

“…The positioning assembly shaft structure consists of a body (9) made of insulating brown bakerite material and a roller assembly (8) used to position the pipe edge (Figure 5). The structure of the roller assembly consists of a V groove roller (13), an M5 bolt (12) used as the roller shaft, a push handle (14), nut (15), support cover ( 16), and spring (17). The bolt M5 (18) links the support cover to the push handle.…”
