HIGH ENERGY IMPACT FORMING PROGRAM. PROTOTYPE MACHINE PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS
Abstract
The preliminary design of the prototype high energy rate rubber pad sheet metal forming machine was prepared using the contractual specifications, knowledge gained in the prototype design parameters study program, as well as information obtained from the personnel who will use the machine in the evaluation phase of the program. Specifications written for the machine comprise the major portion of the report. The machine installation will consist of four units: the machine, hydraulic power unit, control console, and air compressor unit. The machine will have a maximum energy of 2,400,000-in. lb, a maximum impact velocity of 825 in./sec, a cycle time of 15 sec, a maximum stroke of 18 in., and will use a rubber forming pad 24 in. in diameter and 23 in. thick. The power unit will have a 100-hp motor, 100-gal reservoir, and will be rated at 78 gallons per minute at 2000 psi. The air compressor unit will have a 3-hp motor, maximum pressure will be 2000 psi with a 6-cu ft reservoir. (Author)
