A method and device for specifying a portion causing a discrepancy in springback amount between CAE analysis and an actual formed product. The method includes a formed-product-driving-stress-distribution acquisition step of acquiring a driving stress distribution of a press-formed product, an analysis-driving-stress-distribution acquisition step of acquiring a driving stress distribution in springback analysis, a formed-product springback-amount acquisition step of acquiring a springback amount based on the formed product driving stress distribution, a stress-substituted-springback-amount acquisition step of substituting a value of analysis driving stress in a region with a value of formed product driving stress in a corresponding region and acquiring a springback amount based on a stress substituted distribution obtained by the substitution, and a springback-amount-discrepancy-causing-portion specifying step of finding a difference between the formed product springback amount and the stress substituted springback amount and specifying, based on the difference found, a portion causing a discrepancy in springback amount.

The present disclosure provides a multi-station rotating terminal crimping machine head, including a machine table, a supporting device, a punching head, a rotating seat, a plurality of station seats, a first driving motor, and a first right-angle speed reducer. The supporting device is fixedly disposed on the machine table. The punching head is disposed on the supporting device. The rotating seat is rotatably disposed on the machine table. The plurality of the station seats are disposed on the rotating seat and rotate along with the rotating seat. The first driving motor and the first right-angle speed reducer are disposed on the machine table.

A method of forming a metal sheet into a target shape by press-forming, such that the metal sheet is formed into an intermediate shape that is different from the target shape and then the target shape is formed from the intermediate shape, the method includes: when forming the intermediate shape from the metal sheet, forming the intermediate shape by forming a first region including at least a portion at which a ratio of sheet thickness reduction from the metal sheet is larger when the target shape is formed via the intermediate shape than when the target shape is formed directly from the metal sheet.

A deformation processing system acquires target shape data of a work including a reference line, acquires intermediate shape data from the work having an intermediate shape having a reference line drawn thereon, puts these two pieces of data side by side by positioning the reference lines relative to each other, and calculates a necessary deformation amount of the work based on the difference between the two pieces of data put side by side.

A preformed shape capable of suppressing occurrence of cracks and wrinkles in a metal sheet can be determined by simple means. A metal sheet is press formed into a three-dimensionally shaped component. A method therefor includes a first step of press forming the metal sheet into an intermediate component having a preformed shape including a shape of the three-dimensionally shaped component crushed under a load applying condition for applying load in a direction in which at least a part of the three-dimensionally shaped component is straightened and a second step of press forming the intermediate component into the three-dimensionally shaped component.

A joint structure is formed by joining a first plate-shaped member made of steel and a second plate-shaped member made of steel that is overlapped on the first plate-shaped member and that is formed in a long shape. A surface of the first plate-shaped member and both edge portions of the second plate-shaped member along a longitudinal direction are joined by a weld metal.

A method for producing a liquid-conducting device made of aluminum including a functional surface made of anodized aluminum. A surface of a strip- or layer-shaped aluminum sheet is provided with a masking during a masking phase for producing a processing on the surface of the aluminum sheet and in its structure. The aluminum sheet is processed in an electrolytic process for realizing a functional surface, which is provided with an aluminum oxide layer, on the processing surface, a body surface of the liquid-conducting device, which includes at least one processing surface or one functional surface, being sized as a component of the aluminum sheet during a sizing phase, the liquid-conducting device being separated from the strip- or layer-shaped aluminum sheet during a separating phase.

A can bodymaker, which includes a disc feed (1) for feeding a disc (5) directly to the bodymaker itself. A locator (9) positions the disc (5) centrally to a blankholder (12) and a draw pad (10) clamps the disc (5) against a draw die (11). The blankholder (12) then forms the disc into a cup (20) and clamps the cup against a redraw die (14) ready to be picked up by a punch and carried through dies for forming a can body.
