Abstract: An analysis unit and method for determining at least one forming process characteristic of a servo press includes the steps of determining a torque profile of a motor of the servo press, wherein the torque profile belongs to a first cycle of the servo press and wherein the first cycle describes a forming process without an item to be processed by the servo press, determining a torque profile of the motor of the servo press, wherein the torque profile belongs to a second cycle of the servo press and wherein the second cycle describes a forming process with an item to be processed by the servo press, and comparing the torque profile belonging to the first cycle with the torque profile belonging to the second cycle to ascertain the at least one forming process characteristic.

Abstract: A system, method and software arrangement are provided for generating press-formed parts having a more consistent quality based on improved determination of processing conditions. For example, an apparatus can be configured to compare actual performance values of material properties provided by a material property database with standard values, and to adjust forming conditions such as a forming speed and a blank-holder pressure in accordance with the compared result. A control arrangement can be provided to control a press-forming device using the adjusted forming conditions. Accordingly, it may be possible to reduce occurrences of defects such as cracks and wrinkles when press-forming materials, and to obtain products having consistent quality and substantially identical shapes.

Abstract: A thin walled body is deformed in a process in which the body is gripped securely in a holding station and, whilst gripped in the holding station, tooling engages to deform the peripheral wall of the body at a predetermined wall zone. The tooling is provided at a tooling station which is adjacent the holding station during deformation. The predetermined wall zone is co-aligned with the tooling by rotation of the body about an axis prior to securing at the holding station.
