Software aids efficient roll-pass design for wire
Using interactive modeling of the wire forming steps based on available experience, the roll-pass designer can draw the forming steps and can put the areas into the required percentage ratio.
This software supports the effective design of wire rolling tools and the finite element simulation of the complete wire rolling process.
The COPRA WR Wire Rolling solution for wire rolling supports the tool engineer with many important features, as follows.
* One of these is the interactive modeling of the forming steps based on currently available experience; the COPRA WR software calculates and sketches the subsequent forming steps while the designer is able to put respective cross sectional areas into any desired percentage ratio.
* COPRA WR automatically designs the different cross sections of each shaping step.
The user only defines the beginning and ending cross-section.
He can also specify the degree of forming and the estimated amount of reduction of any cross-section.
* The final but not least important step in the COPRA WR process chain is the verification of the design by finite element simulation.
Forming is computed based on roller geometry and the starting cross-section.
* COPRA FEA WR simulates the wire rolling process by means of a high-end non linear elasto-plastic solver and provides the user with important information about the final wire shape to be expected.
The software allows the prediction of the material properties and thus an optimization of the wire rolling process with regard to its final properties.
Additionally, dataM Software + Engineering will also be exhibiting our COPRA RF (roll forming) software for metal roll forming.
COPRA RF supports a complete process chain for roll tool design and simulation of the roll forming process.
Not only does data M Software + Engineering provide software solutions, but we also offer analysis and consulting services with respect to trouble-shooting of roll forming processes and the development and improvement of roll form tooling for complex uses such as automotive applications, high tensile material, and CNC roll forming of 'flexible shapes' (Variable Profile) which up to now have only been available through press brake forming.
