Design for Sheet Metalworking -  Design Rules


In the design of sheet metal stampings the first consideration is the shape of the external perimeter. For parts that are to be manufactured with dedicated dies, it is advantageous to design the outer profile with parallel straight edges defining the part width. To allow for satisfactory shearing in cut-off or part-off operations, the end profiles should meet the straight edges at angles no less than 15 degrees. The profile shape should not contain narrow projections or notches that will require narrow weak sections in either punches or die plates. 

Similar considerations for the avoidance of weak tool sections apply to internal punched holes. That is, small holes or narrow cut-outs that will require fragile punches should be avoided. In addition, internal punched holes should be separated from each other, and from the outside edge, with sufficient clearance to avoid distortion of narrow sections of the workpiece material during punching. The accepted rule of thumb is that both feature dimensions and feature spacings should be at least twice the material thickness. All profile radii, are subjected to the same rule of thumb. In this case the concern is the associated corner radii in the die plate. Radii equal to at least twice the gage thickness will minimize the corner stress concentrations in the die plate, which may lead to crack formation and failure.

It is good practice to incorporate relief cut-outs at the ends of proposed bend lines that terminate at internal corners in the outer profile. These circular relief cut-outs will be part of the die profile for blanking or will be punched before the adjacent outer profile in turret press working.

If for any reason holes that intersect the outer profile must be punched later, then the diameter should be at least three times the gage thickness to accommodate the offset loading to which the punch will be subjected. When formed features are being considered, the principal design constraint is the maximum tensile strain the material can withstand; this is usually called the material ductility. Typical ductility values are given in books.  Thus, if a lanced and formed bridge  is to be incorporated into a component  the ratio of L to H can be calculated as follows. Assume that the transition or ramp from the surface to the top of the bridge is 45 degrees. The length along the bridge from end to end is approximately

Bridge length = L-2H/ tan(45) + 2H/ sin(45) 
                       =  L + 0.82H     

Assuming uniform stretching of the bridge, the tensile strain along the bridge is thus  

maximum permissible strain in tension e = 0.82H/L 


There is a rule of thumb quoted in the literature that the length of bridges should be greater than 4 times their height. However, such rules are frequently based on experience with press working of annealed low-carbon steel. For different materials or varying geometries, such as changing the ramp angles in the preceding example, the tensile strains must be estimated and compared to the permissible maximum value. A common example of a lanced and formed feature in sheet metal parts is the louver. Louvers are often formed as groups of parallel slots in the sides of sheet metal enclosures for air circulation and cooling purposes. The length of the front edge of the louver must be greater than a certain multiple of the louver opening height H, determined by the material ductility and the end ramp angles exactly as in the bridge calculation.

However, stretching also occurs at right angles to the louver edge where the material is stretched upward into a circular arc.  This will not cause material failure, since the front edge of the louver will be pulled backward as the tensile stress develops in the surface.

Another type of feature, which involves stretching along a sheared edge, is the hole flange. Hole flanging is often carried out to provide increased local thickness for tapping of screw threads or for assembly with self-tapping screws. The hole flange is formed by pressing a taper-nosed punch of diameter D into a smaller punched hole of diameter d. The tensile strain around the top edge of the formed flange is thus = (D- d)/D and this value must be less than the permissible material ductility. The limit of the ratio D/d, due to limited ductility, limits the amount of material displaced and in turn the height of hole flanges that can be produced. Typical values of flange height in sheet steel components, for example, range between 2 and 3 times the material gage thickness. In the design of beads or ribs used to stiffen open surfaces of sheet metal parts, the cross-sectional geometry  is important. Ribs may be circular in section as shown, or are sometimes V-shaped. In any case, for a required height, H, the width and shape of the rib must be chosen so that the required amount of stretching across the rib does not exceed the material ductility. The radius at the base of the rib must also be greater than a certain value to prevent overstraining the material on the underside of the part. This may result from the bending effect along the sides of the rib and will be considered next. The maximum tensile strain in bending is in the outer fibers of the sheet on the outside of the bend and is governed by the ratio of inside bend radius, r, to sheet gage thickness, h. For a bend through any angle ø, the length of the outer surface is Ls
 = (r + h)ø 
and the length of the surface in the center of the sheet, on which lies the neutral axis of bending, is 

L0 = (r + h/2)ø 

Hence the strain on the outer surface is e = (Ls- Lo)/Lo = 1/(1 + 2r/h) 

Radius r is defined precisely by the profile radius of the bending tool: either the convex radius of the die block for a wiper die or the convex radius of the punch in a v-die. In any case the minimum acceptable radius value can be obtained from Eq.(9.34) and the ductility of the material to be bent. For example, for low-carbon, commercial-quality steel with ductility 0.22, above Eq. gives 

e = 0.22=  1/(1 + 2r/h)
or 
r = 177h

A rule of thumb often quoted in the literature is that the inside bend radius should be greater than or equal to twice the sheet thickness. This is, in fact, the limiting value for a material with 20% ductility.

An additional consideration with respect to bending is the placing of other features next to bend lines.  The rule of thumb in stamping is that the edge of circular holes should preferably be 2 times the sheet thickness from the beginning of a bend. For slots parallel to a bend this clearance should increase to 4 times sheet thickness. The manufacture of small flat sheet metal parts can be performed with a high degree of precision. Blanked parts or punched holes with maximum dimensions up to 10cm can be held to tolerances of approximately ±0.05 mm However, as part size increases, precision is more difficult to control, and for a part with dimensions as large as 50 cm permissible tolerances are in the range of ±0.5 mm.

The requirement for tolerances much tighter than these guideline values may call for features to be machined at greatly increased cost. For formed parts, or formed features, variation tends to be larger and minimum tolerances attainable are in the range of ±0.25 mm for small parts. This includes bending when dedicated bending dies are used. Thus a tight tolerance between punched holes, which are on parallel surfaces separated by bends, would require the holes to be punched after bending at greater expense. If the holes are on nonparallel surfaces, then machining may be necessary to obtain the required accuracy. Finally, in the design of turret press parts to be bent on press brakes, it should be noted that the inaccuracies of this bending process are substantially worse than with dedicated dies. Attainable tolerances between bent surfaces and other surfaces, or features on other surfaces, range from ±0.75 mm for small parts up to ±1.5 mm for large ones.

Finally, an important consideration in the design of any sheet metal part should be the minimization of manufactured scrap. This is accomplished by designing part profiles so that they can be nested together as closely as possible on the strip or sheet. Also, if individual dies are to be used, then the part should be designed if possible for cut-off or part-off operations. The cut-off design lacks the elegance of the rounded end profiles. Nevertheless, the acute sharp corner will be removed during debarring, and for many applications this type of design may be perfectly functional.

Industrial Engineering: Productivity Improvement of Systems and Processes - Book by Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

 


----------------------------




---------------------------

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1. Introduction - What is Industrial Engineering


Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on improvement of efficiency and productivity in engineering systems and processes. Narayana Rao defines it as system efficiency engineering.

Narayana Rao (2017)

Industrial engineering defined as system efficiency engineering has application in all branches of engineering.  Productivity improvement is needed in engineering systems of all branches and therefore industrial engineering needs to be used in all branches of engineering. It needs to be taught in all engineering branches. (Principles of Industrial Engineering, Narayana Rao, K.V.S.S., 2017).

Engineering systems which are designed by engineers of various branches are first evaluated for the effectiveness. While efficiency criterion is given importance during the early rounds of the design, a special effort to evaluate it for efficiency criteria will identify opportunities to increase efficiency before finalizing the design. Industrial engineers who maintain a knowledge base of engineering alternatives and their productivity and economic efficiency will make significant contribution to the design. Processes specify the routines to be followed to produce the goods or services.

Industrial engineering emerged as a new branch in engineering due to the pioneering work done by F.W. Taylor. He was given credit for his contribution by honoring him as the father of industrial engineering. F.W. Taylor followed the thought of the First President of American Society of Mechanical Engineering in developing cost reduction methodology for engineering goods. The president in his inaugural speech mentioned that one of the tasks of engineers to develop methods to make production of engineering goods cheaper so that more people can afford them. In one direction, Taylor maintained records of expenses for belt systems and developed design rules for belt transmission system that give less cost for the production systems. In another direction, Taylor noticed that there are no guidelines for the speed of machine tools. He did number of experiments to develop formulae for the speed of machine tools. 

Taylor also observed that machine operators as well as other workers are deliberately producing less output per day as they were apprehensive that producing more in a day would mean unemployment and lower incomes. On one side, Taylor tried to argue that as per economic theory, more output per day would mean lower prices and higher sales quantities. So employers can pay more for higher output in a day and also they can maintain employment. On the other side, Taylor advocated that by observing many operators doing the same element, ways of doing the element in less time can be identified. Taylor also did observation of work elements and developed science of work related to those elements. Thus Taylor developed more productive work elements for machines and men. Redesign of processes to increase productivity can be done by incorporating more productive work elements.

Observing the work of men, identifying the elements, recording the time and developing the science for elements of work was given the name of Time Study of Work Elements by F.W. Taylor. Thus industrial engineering initiated by Taylor is primarily engineering work involving machine tools. It also required study of human effort as the engineering systems are operated by workers. The productivity of the total engineering system requires the study of machines, material and men.


1.2. What is Productivity?

Productivity is defined as output/input. Higher productivity means more output from the same input. Productivity can be calculated for each type of input, For example, we can calculate productivity of each machine. We can calculate productivity for each type of material. There are productivity calculations for combination of inputs. For example we can calculate productivity of a system having one machine and one operator and also calculate the productivity of the same system when two operators are employed on the same machine. Similarly, we can calculate productivity of the systems for various periods of time. For instance, we can calculate the productivity of a machine for January and February separately.

Increase in productivity of the same set of inputs results in lower cost of unit output.

1.3 What is Efficiency?

Efficiency is related to productivity, but efficiency is a more broader concept.  While cost of production is a measure of efficiency, dissatisfaction of employees is  part of inefficiency and hence a measure of efficiency. Industrial engineers have to ensure that employees are not troubled by productivity increasing methods of working. Accidents, injuries and occupational diseases are part of inefficiency. Industrial engineers have to avoid them in the engineering systems and processes.  (746 words.)

What is Energy Conservation?

Energy conservation means using less energy and avoiding excessive or wasteful uses.
Energy efficiency, on the other hand, means using less energy while getting the same results. Efficiency is therefore a subset of conservation; one way to conserve energy is to use it more efficiently.
The concept of doing more with less offers an approach that seems both feasible and affordable.

Sometimes the two concepts are distinguished by how the savings are achieved. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says that “energy efficiency is technology-based” (compact fluorescent light bulbs, for example), while conservation “is rooted in behavior” (such as turning off unneeded lights). Moreover, the energy savings from efficiency are easier to predict, measure and especially to sustain, making efficiency easier to treat as an energy resource.1 This distinction, however, is not entirely clear cut; there are efficiency measures that rely on behavior, such as combining car trips to save gasoline.

About DOE’s Industrial Technologies Program


The Industrial Technologies Program, through partnerships with industry, government, and non-governmental organizations, develops and delivers advanced energy efficiency, renewable energy, and pollution prevention technologies for industrial applications. The Industrial Technologies Program is part of the U.S. Department of Energyʼs Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The Industrial Technologies Program encourages industry-wide efforts to boost resource productivity through a strategy called Industries of the Future (IOF). IOF focuses on the following eight energy and resource intensive industries:

• Aluminum • Forest Products • Metal Casting • Petroleum
• Chemicals • Glass • Mining • Steel


The Industrial Technologies Program and its Best Practices activities offer a wide variety of resources to industrial partners that cover motor, steam, compressed air, and process heating systems. For example, Best Practices software can help you decide whether to replace or rewind motors (MotorMaster+), assess the efficiency of pumping systems (PSAT), compressed air systems (AirMaster+), steam systems (Steam Scoping Tool), or determine optimal insulation thickness for pipes and pressure vessels (3E Plus).

Training is available to help you or your staff learn how to use these software programs and learn more about industrial systems. Workshops are held around the country on topics such as “Capturing the Value of Steam Efficiency,” “Fundamentals and Advanced Management of Compressed Air Systems,” and “Motor System Management.”

Available technical publications range from case studies and tip sheets to source books and market assessments. The Energy Matters newsletter, for example, provides timely articles and information on comprehensive energy systems for industry. You can access these resources and more by visiting the BestPractices Web site at www.eere.energy.gov/ industry/bestpractices or by contacting the EERE Information Center at 877-337-3463 or via email at www.eere.energy.gov/informationcenter/.

Industrial Engineering and Systems Design

Design of Systems

 
Definition - IISE
 
Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

The definition of industrial engineering includes the words "design of systems".

But has industrial engineering discipline developed  the subject of systems design? A perfect positive answer cannot be given.

In the second edition of Industrial Engineering Handbook edited by H.B. Maynard, a chapter on systems design was included. In the article, Prof Oliver J. Sizelove of Newark College of Engineering, Newark, New Jersey correctly indicated that very few industrial engineers can be expected to possess "expert" skills in all the disciplines required to design complex systems. He also stated that the conventionally organized industrial engineering department cannot really cope with the design of a complex system. Design of complex systems requires team effort representing variety of skills. What skills do industrial engineers bring to this team? Industrial engineers have to clear about it? By including design of systems in their definition, what did they want to achieve? Did they want leadership of systems design effort in the organizations? The focus areas of industrial engineering are human effort and system efficiency. So they have a significant role to play in systems design. They can aspire to lead the system design effort also.

Prof Sizelove described in his article, the organization of system design effort in the industrial engineering department of United Airlines. In the organization chart shown in the chapter, Sizelove indicated that there are  special project cells under OR and Applies Sciences Division and Works Analysis Division. A project leader is  given the responsibility to select competent personnel, in almost any required discipline, from other divisions in this structure. Thus, the system design team developed specific to a project can deliver optimum design either in case of a system redesign or development of an entirely new system. 

Sizelove also mentioned that they are industrial engineers heading systems design activity having expert knowledge in the system being designed. But in majority of cases, industrial engineer serves as hub and brings together the knowledge and talents of the various scientific and engineering disciplines and integrates them into a cohesive team of systems designers. But this process of industrial engineers leading system design, and industrial engineering departments as system design departments was not really pursued by the industrial engineering discipline both in education as well as in practice.

Systems design remained in definition but its implementation was never really explored. Industrial engineering curriculums need to have subject titled "Systems Design Management" to develop this dimension of industrial engineering.

Abstract

This paper describes a framework that formalizes within a concurrent engineering approach the key steps in the process of manufacturing systems design. Many of the functions performed by industrial engineers, ergonomists and process planners are included in the framework and may be used iteratively as design detail is progressively added. The paper describes the framework and prototype software, indicates how the framework is evaluated and illustrates how a workplace may be designed. The emphasis of the work is the design of human centred manual assembly systems. The overall objective of the work is to improve the process of manufacturing systems design.

Course Description

The course is designed for students in the System Design and Management (SDM) program and therefore assumes that you already have a basic knowledge of project management. The objective is to introduce advanced methods and tools of project management in a realistic context such that they can be taken back to the workplace to improve management of development projects. In contrast to traditional courses on the subject we will emphasize scenarios that cannot be fully predicted such as task iterations, unplanned rework, perceived versus actual progress and misalignments between tasks, product architectures and organizations.
