Monitoring & Quality Control

Quality management and process optimization

FormFlow is continuously developing new processes and forming solutions.  This requires a fundamental understanding of the interplay between forming mechanics, material parameters and the forming tool.  To achieve this, FormFlow combines in-house prototyping trials with Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and advanced computer models of material behavior and forming processes.

Force/Process Monitoring – The FormFlow industry 4.0 manufacturing cell concept

FormFlow has developed a new machine concept for it`s C90 product. Carefully calibrated electric motors allow forming forces to be monitored continuously during the forming cycle. Special software has been developed to identify changes in incoming material and product quality. Combined with continuous shape measurement it is now possible to perform in-line forming process adjustment …
