Simulating friction and lubrication conditions in press forming! Accurately reproducing complex tribological phenomena! [Free seminar ongoing]

In press forming simulation, friction becomes a crucial key. On the other hand, to obtain more realistic and reliable simulation results, it is necessary to accurately reproduce tribological effects. However, accurately reproducing the above and incorporating it into the simulation has been challenging. As an approach to this complex area, we propose TriboForm. This software allows for the construction of friction models that correspond to real conditions by varying surface pressure, speed, strain, and temperature. Therefore, it leads to higher accuracy in simulations compared to the conventional Coulomb friction model. 【Features】 ■ Accurately reproduces complex tribological phenomena ■ Efficient simulation, visualization, and evaluation of friction and lubrication conditions ■ Easily integrates with representative simulation software ■ Improves the accuracy of press forming simulations ■ Reduces the number of costly mold modifications in trials and production, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Achieving a new level of simulation accuracy! Simulating friction and lubrication conditions.

TriboForm is software that can quickly simulate the coating of molds, lubrication, surface characteristics of materials, friction of new sheet materials, and ultimately the quality of products in the press forming process. By considering the effects of tribology more realistically, it enables a new level of simulation accuracy. TriboForm products enhance the AutoForm product line. 【Features】 ■ Accurate representation of complex tribological phenomena ■ Simulation, display, and evaluation of friction and lubrication conditions ■ Easy integration with representative simulation software ■ Avoid costly mold modifications during trials and production *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Volvo Car Corporation has adopted TriboForm for the door inner of the new Volvo XC90 to achieve its goals.

**Impact of Introducing TriboForm** By improving the prediction accuracy of strain, flow, and springback, we achieve "shortened development time," "reduced development costs," and "increased ROI (return on investment)."

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
