Finite Element Analysis of a Combined Collar Drawing and Thread Forming Process

authored by: E. Stockburger, H. Wester, D. Rosenbusch, B. A. Behrens
Abstract: Collars with internal threads are used in a wide range of products. For the production of threads in sheet metal, collar drawing with subsequent thread cutting or forming is used in progressive tools. For a reduction of the manufacturing costs, collar drawing and thread forming can be combined into a single process step. Since the punch for collar drawing must be retracted after thread forming, an undersized collar must be drawn. The thread forming must be adapted to the collar as well as the process kinematics. Thus, FE simulation is used to analyse the process interactions. Parameters such as feed rate, rotational speed, pre-hole diameter, die diameter, sheet thickness are varied, and their influence on the process are investigated. Based on the findings the best combination of the process parameters is determined. The results will be used to manufacture a tooling system for collar drawing with integrated thread forming in the future.
