As shown in Figure
9.3.2, the tool control interface is utilized to set
primary travel velocity and binder force. The user may activate the binder
force control selecting the Upper/Lower Binder Force check box.
Figure 9.3.2 The Tool Control interface
Depending on the draw type, the tool velocity and force are applied
according to the following control scheme:
CRASH FORM Upper tool with defined tool
velocity.
SINGLE ACTION (INVERTED DRAW) Upper
tool is controlled by velocity.
Binder
is controlled by either velocity or force.
DOUBLE ACTION (TOGGLE DRAW) Upper
tool is controlled by velocity.
Binder
is controlled by velocity or force.
FOUR PIECE DRAW Upper
tool is controlled by velocity.
Upper
binder is controlled by velocity or force.
Lower
binder is controlled by velocity or force.
If the
default unit is selected, the units of velocity and force are in mm/s and
Note: 1. In
the QuickSetup, all force controls are implemented after the binder is closed
using velocity control. That is, the velocity control is switched to force
after binder closing.
2. In the QS setup, the force applied to
the lower binder (in Four Piece Draw) is controlled by velocity or force with
rigid body control. Rigid body control
will prevent the lower binder from moving up before the upper and lower binders
clamp the blank.
For
example Single action (Toggle Draw):
If the
user needs to control the punch with velocity and the binder with force
control:
a.
Provide
punch travel velocity (default is
b.
Provide
binder velocity (default is
c.
Provide
binder force (default is 200,000
