Shaping Tools TRIZ Cases

A progressive crimping method applies sequential depths to compression connectors for uniform mechanical joints.

Branching supply paths with nozzle members restrict flow to ensure uniform cooling, reducing tact time and easing maintenance of the die.

Segmented tool design resolves machine size limits by extending the forming platform linearly, preventing breakage during single-stroke deformation.

An onboard battery powers sensors on the tool head, eliminating cable wear that causes maintenance stoppages.

Eccentric stamp adapters hold interchangeable inserts to reduce retooling time and wear on expensive shaft components.

Segmented shield protuberances define air gaps that resist heat conduction, solving significant thermal loss in superplastic forming operations.

A spacer between the support surface and table adjusts lateral tool positions by introducing vertical bending force components.

A fracture judgment apparatus calculates die strain from punch displacement and reaction force to detect cracks during metal stamping.

Contoured contact elements heat a metal circuit board rapidly to reduce energy loss and improve productivity.

Cooperating urethane pads in a bottom die enable flexible deflection for various radii, eliminating the need for specialized steel punches and dies.

Node adjustments along boundary lines resolve simulation convergence errors during iterative springback compensation.

A stepped bead design increases resistance to material flow by forcing the workpiece to bend and unbend during forming.

A multi-warm forming device heats aluminum alloy sheets to super-plasticity temperatures and applies gas pressure to inflate the material into complex final shapes.

Mechanical pressing replaces hydroforming to form notches in crash boxes without welding or complex post-processing.
