Korea’s two main auto manufacturers — Hyundai Motor Firm and Kia — introduced Wednesday that they developed the world’s first automated press die system for all designs.
Press dies are used to kind a car’s physique components such because the trunk, hood and fender. Relying on the half’s design, automakers often conduct the press dying course of three to 5 occasions to fabricate an element whereas press die designers line up quite a few necessities for the manufacturing of every half.
In response to Hyundai Motor and Kia, the automakers standardized the information set for every half’s press die design and designed one system that may robotically press components to simplify the general course of.
With the optimized system, press die designers can now enter the mandatory figures to supply every physique half. The automakers stated that the brand new automated system cuts down the time for press die designing by 75 % and removes design errors from the start to fabricate high-quality merchandise.
The automakers stated they secured the expertise to deal with unpredictable manufacturing circumstances brought on by adjustments within the car’s physique components, producer, manufacturing methodology and manufacturing foothold.
Hyundai and Kia started making use of the automated press die design system in 2020 to a restricted variety of processes. The system has been upgraded in order that it may be applied for the manufacturing of recent automobiles shifting ahead.
“The automated press die design system is a novel system that has been applied via the information conversion of know-how collected for many years,” stated an official at Hyundai Motor.
“We are going to increase the system to varied manufacturing processes sooner or later to fabricate high-quality vehicles and contribute to advancing the applied sciences of the manufacturing ecosystem.”
