ARGUS - Strain measurement in the stamping processARGUS measures the deformation of sheet metal in the stamping process.

An electrochemically etched pattern deforms with the part during the stamping process and is optically recorded afterwards. The three-dimensional coordinates of the pattern are calculated and used to define the shape of the deformed part. Strain distribution, thickness reduction and forming limit diagrams can be calculated and graphically displayed.

The clear graphical display of the measuring results allows for easy verification of the shaping process. Areas with huge deformations are highlighted as 'hot spots'.  

Applications

  • detection of areas with critical deformation
  • solving complex forming problems
  • optimization of stamping processes
  • verification of stamping tools
  • verification and optimization of numerical calculations

Features

  • High accuracy and high data point density.
  • The evaluation speed and the convenient graphical user interface provide excellent productivity enhancement in sheet metal forming processes.
  • Flexible measuring area allows unrestricted measurement of small subareas up to large and complex parts.
  • A calibration of the system or an adjustment to the optical properties of the specimen is not required.
  • Fully automatic identification and the determination of the points as well as the calculation of the strains on the specimen.
  • High level of consistency of the measuring values due to automatic calculation routines.
  • An interactive intervention in the processing is possible but not necessary.
  • Due to the compact design the system can be transported easily.
