Design and Analysis of Progressive Die for Industrial Component Tail Gate Stricker

In sheet metal manufacturing, Design and development of different components is one of the important phase. This is a highly complex process and leads to various uncertainties. These uncertainties can induce heavy manufacturing losses through premature die failure, final part geometric distortion and production risk. Progressive die is a press tool of collective operations performed on the sheet metal. The various operations are carried out in a single stroke. The design of progressive die is largely depends on material of sheet metal, thickness of sheet metal and complexity of design and operations. This press tool has significance like high rate of production and minimum per unit cost of product. In progressive die the variety of operations are performed at common work station. In present project the intensions is given on quality improvement along with production rate and cost minimization. Progressive die components are modeled in CATIA with selected dimensions for sheet metal plate. Finite element analysis is conducted for Progressive die obtaining deformation and stresses on sheet metal component by using ANSYS software.
