本文描述了一种基于两台工业机器人的渐进式金属板材成形的创新开发工艺。我们没有使用昂贵的专用模具，而是设计了简单且可重复使用的工具来将金属板成型为复杂的几何形状。这些带有扁平或半球形头部的简单工具安装在机器人的末端执行器上，而一侧的成形工具由机器人驱动，沿着设计形状生成的规定路径移动，另一侧的支撑工具沿着路径同步移动，通过增量步骤，金属板在成形工具和支撑工具之间被拉制成最终形状。结果，使用这种方法形成了各种金属板材零件。介绍并讨论了成形过程中测量的轮廓和应变。
This paper describes an innovative developed process of incremental sheet metal forming based on two industrial robots. Instead of using expensive dedicated dies simple and reusable tools were designed to form sheet metal into complicated geometrical shapes. These simple tools with flat or hemispherical head are mounted on the end effectors of the robots, while the forming tool on one side is driven by the robot to follow a prescribed path generated from the designed shape, the supporting tool on the other side moves along the path synchronously, by incremental steps, a sheet metal is drawn to its final shape between the forming tool and the supporting tool. As a result, various kinds of sheet metal parts have been formed using this method. The measured profile and strains from the forming process are presented and discussed.
