Measuring Systems | ARGUS | Applications | Sheet Metal Forming | Forming Analysis | | | | | Optical Measuring Technologies in Sheet Metal Processing | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ARGUS, ATOS | | | | Keywords: Measuring instrument, Sheet metal, 3D digitizing, Material properties | | | | During recent years, optical measuring technologies in sheet metal forming and tooling have been used more and more in the industry. Main applications are the digitizing of metal sheet parts and tools, forming analysis of metal sheets as well as the determination of material properties. Good interfaces to conventional CAD/CAM and numerical simulation systems made such optical measuring systems a part of complex process chains. These process chains mainly focus on optimizing the development of products and production processes and on improving the product quality. Using optical systems considerably decreases the development time for products and production while improving the quality. |  | |
| | Forming Analysis by ARGUS for Simulations Verification and Evaluation of Stamping Processes | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ARGUS | | | | Keywords: Forming limit | | | | Forming analysis is well established in sheet metal forming in order to evaluate forming processes and to obtain experimental values for verifying simulations. During recent years, the computer-aided optical measuring system ARGUS gained more and more acceptance as it achieves precise high-resolution results independent that are of the operator. ARGUS provides surface results of major and minor strain, material thickness reduction as well as a forming limit diagram. All results are available for the 3D coordinates on the surface of the object. It is possible to test parts of an object or the whole object itself. In addition, forming limit curves for different sheet metal materials can be determined precisely using standardized methods. | | |
| | Total Area Strain Mapping Improves Total Quality of Stampings | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ARGUS | | | | Keywords: Grid method, critical forming area | | | | There is a new state-of-the-art in stamping quality control for
easy, effective and reliable determination of shape, strains
and thinning. Full-field optical vision systems based on the wellknown principles of circle grid analysis and photogrammetry, provide automated analysis and
quantitative color maps for every square inch of complex parts. | | |
| | Modern measuring tools in stamping applications for complex and simple parts | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ARGUS | | | | Keywords: Tool optimization | | | | ARGUS measures and visualizes the quality and degree of the stamping process on sheet metal. For the ARGUS measurement of a simple stamped sheet metal part, only few images are taken, but ARGUS also accepts and integrates many images into a virtual assembly and is therefore able to measure the complete range of products used in sheet metal stamping. | | |
