DIE DESIGN CHECK

This function allows the user to visually check the Die according to the minimum tip angle and minimum draw depth. Figure 6.5 shows the available check criteria in the DIE DESIGN CHECK function.

Figure 6.5

CHECK TIP (DRAW DEPTH)

This option is based on a flat blank. The function is the same as in Section 6.1.6, TIPPING.

Click the PLOT button, and eta/DYNAFORM will display the draw depth control of the Die.

CHECK TIP (TRIM ANGLE)

This option calculates and displays the trim angle of a part at typically 30 degrees to the forming direction. It checks the maximum angle for direct trim.

Click the PLOT button, and eta/DYNAFORM will display the contour of the trim angle. Red color indicates the area needs cam trim and blue indicates direct trim.

CHECK DISTANCE (DIE AND BINDER)

Checks the draw depth relative to the Binder. The binder must be in the database when using this function. This check function will not work once the binder has been trimmed by the BINDER TRIM function.

Click the PLOT button, and eta/DYNAFORM will prompt the user to the binder. The program will display the contour of distance between the Die and Binder.

DIRECTION

This function enables the user to select a drawing direction, either the Global Coordinate System (GCS) or the Local Coordinate System (LCS).

DISPLAY OPTION

This function controls the display of the result. Refer to the eta/POST USER¡¯S MANUAL for a detailed description of the display options.
