Control of hydroforming system of welded metal sheets

Abstract

Control of the machining systems, with the purpose of control of the machines and systems by changing the parameters specified for their work, has already been defined in their design. The application of the mechatronic system in the control of the machining process was analyzed for the conditions of experimental hydroforming of welded steel sheets. Hydroforming is classified in unconventional design technologies and occupies a significant place in scientific research. In relation to the manual mode of control of the hydroforming process in experimental conditions, the application of mechatronic system, designed for the conditions given in this paper, simplifies and stabilizes its performance. After the design of the mechatronic system, a simulation of the designed mechatronic system model was conducted, followed by verification by performing an experiment in the hydroforming process of welded sheets.
