Manufacturing Design and Analysis of Bending Technology by the Variation of the Initial Technological Parameters

The aim of this study is a detailed methodological analysis of the bending technology based on literature sources and the analysis of the correlation between the technological parameters. During this research the process of the determination of the technological parameters and their practical interpretation is given special attention. We analyze the technological process in a clear and understandable way using our own prepared figures to assist industrial and educational usage. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of bending technology and supports the basis of the technological decision. Furthermore four experiments will be conducted to find a correlation between the actual variable technological parameter (more variables will be selected) and the received technological parameters to analyze the function between these influential factors. This study can help industrial engineers and university students to understand the complexity of this technology, design all of the technological parameters that are needed to execute this technology for the manufacturing process, and enhance the quality of this metal forming process.
