Function(PRESS DIE)

PRESS (Support for designing press dies)

PRESS supports designing press dies. It has three key capabilities: design support, modeling support, and post-process support.
The post-process support is further categorized into capabilities of solid verification, creation of drawings, data for order placement, and coordination of machining.

PRESS’s dedicated commands support the creation of back surface and sectional dies, selection of springs, and placement of standard parts, based on the product shapes during the initial stage of designing.

After the designing is finished, parts lists can be automatically created through the use of parts attributes.
Also, drawings can be checked by executing the commands of interference test and die structure verification. Furthermore, CAM system can be coordinated through the use of machining features.

 Features

Commands for the Initial Stage of Design

The "Create_FuzzyOffsetSurface" command

This command creates back surfaces that are needed in order to create a Structure based on a panel shape.(Note: a Structure refers to a ferrous die that accepts a press die 'Insert'.)

Back face creation
 

Create Sectional Dies and Create Steel Edges

The "CreateSectionalDies" command and the "CreateSteelEdges" command enables the System operators to quickly create shapes referred to as sectional dies and steel edges that support complicated Trim Lines such as Scrap Cutter Lines by making simple inputs in the command windows.

Section die shape creation
 

Bolts and Dowel Pins Automatic Placement

The "BoltsandDowelPinsAutomaticPlacement" command automatically identifies the size of subject solid, and automatically place bolts and dowel pins of appropriate sizes and quantities.
The "BoltsandDowelPinsAutomaticPlacement" command enables the System operators to specify a certain area out of an end of edge where bolts and dowel pints are rejected by making numerical inputs in the command window.

Section die shape creation
 

The "CastHole" command

Cast holes can be made by intuitive operations.


 

'PartsPlacement' command and the 'MoveParts' command

Standard parts and constituent parts such as Guides and U grooves can be placed by trial-and-error attempts.
The attempts can be repeated till the positions are fixed during the Initial Stage of Consideration. These commands support the process.


 

Pierce Automatic Placement

The "PierceAutomaticPlacement" command enables the System operators to previously register Product Panel Data and Pierce Hole Data. The System automatically positions Pierce Parts on the basis of the data. This Command can export Pierce Holes and other data to CSV files.

Section die shape creation
 

Commands for Supporting Modelling

The “ShapeCreation” command dedicated for the Press Die modules serves the System operators to design the feature structures of press die below.
 

フランジリフター作成

  • Flange Lifters
  • Stiffening Ribs
  • Create shelf shapes

The 'PartsAttribute' command

Information can be added to the items that should be listed on a parts list,
such as part name, part number and manufacturer name. Also, each item can be customized.
 

  • The "SetPartsAtr" command


 

The 'MachiningFeature' command

Machining features for plane surfaces, curved surfaces and holes can be added and transmitted to CAM.

  • The "SetHoleMachiningFeature" command
  • The "SetPlaneMachiningFeature" command
  • The "SetSurfaceMachiningFeature" command

*Machining feature, machining limit check
 

Commands of Verification of Solid Models

This capability supports die verification such as interference check, press composition verification, and scrap fall consideration.

  • InterferenceCheck
  • InspectPressComposition
  • ScrapFall_Consideration

Machining Limit Confirmation

The "MachiningLimitConfirmation" command enables the System operators to previously check product designs in order to know unmachinable positions.

*Machining feature, machining limit check
 

The 'partslist' commands

The commands creates parts lists through the use of the added attributes of parts.

  • The “CrePartsListData” command
  • The “Create_PartsList” command
  • The “Edit_PartsList” commandt
  • The “TextOut_PartsListData” command

The 'Drawing' commands

he dedicated commands supports a creation of 2D drawings. They create balloons based on parts attributes, and create finish symbols based on machining features.
