Sheet and Strip 1etal Testing 1achine in special design, 9ith electrohydraulic drive, for
the manufacture of standard cups to establish earing 1odel %"(.
To operate the electrohydraulic sheet and strip metal testing machine is very simple. Thesheet metal strip 9hich has to be at least )" mm 9ide, is inserted into the %" mm 9ide
machine aperture. In a single operation the blan? is stamped out and the standard cup is
dra9n.
The blan?holder pressure necessary to prevent the formation of folds during deep
dra9ing of cups is provided hydraulically, and can be read off on a pressure gauge. This
pressure is infinitely adEustable in the range from " to %8 ?$ by means of a regulating
valve and remains constant until Eust before the end of the dra9. It then falls
automatically to :ero to prevent squashing of the ears, 9hich 9ould give a misleading
result.

The ne9 Kualitest ulgeA/@6 Tester offers une;pected possibilities 9ithin the field of
modern material testing. Thus specimens up to a si:e of "";('" mm can be tested by
carrying out the hydraulic deep dra9ing test. In addition to the actual hydraulic forming
process the design also allo9s the use of ball punches up to a diameter of +"" mm. The
ma;imum dra9ing force is %.""" ?$. In order to guarantee an e;act reading of the
required dra9ing force even in case of lo9er forces these are divided into t9o measuring
ranges. 0t specimen failure the test can be stopped both manually or automatically. The
capture of the given dome geometry is carried out preferably by an optical measuring
device placed on top of the test head or by a
standard displacement measurement of the dome height, ma;. measuring path being %""
mm, 9ith digital indication.
The operation of the testing machine is most simple. 0fter the specimen has been placed
into the test head, the hydraulic system is started 9ith the help of a push button
9hereupon in the first instance the test panel is clamped tightly. Thereafter the dra9ing
piston moves up9ards and presses the quantity of oil that is located bet9een the piston
and the test panel, into the direction of the test panel so that the specimen is formed into a
spherical bulge. 0fter the machine has s9itched off automatically at specimen failure all
hydraulic pistons return to their ground position. inged protective panels made of
7le;iglass, prevent oil splashes from spouting.

Characteri7ation of material
The reliable and defined characteri:ation of materials is a basic requirement that is
absolutely necessary for gaining input data for modern simulation calculations 9hich in
turn are used for the faster development of components and tools. In addition, ne9
methods are required for process monitoring and quality assurance supplying material
information in a quic? and easy manner. 0 car body is a good e;ample to ma?e clear ho9
many different materials are used for the various components . *ependend on
their material properties e.g. TCI7ATWI7 steels, qualified by their high stability, are used
for loadsupporting components such as columns. ased on the struggle of the automotive
industry for 9eight reduction, ne9 aluminium, magnesium and steel alloys have been
developed, 9hich guarantee e;celllent strength properties and a good forming behaviour
at the same time even in thic?ness ranges of % to + mm.

that consist of electrochemicallymar?ed orthogonal lines spaced %' mm. The system is
able to determine a field of strain values in the range of ".' J to more than %"" J
9ithout any unambiguity. The 0uto5rid systems proved 9ell suited for a variety of
applications in deep dra9ing and hydroforming as 9ell as for different materials
including aluminium alloys, stainless steel and fibre reinforced composites.
The 0uto5rid vario is fitted 9ith an inprocess facility, i.e. an e;tension that allo9s the
recording of deformations and strains during a forming process. This type of operation
facilitates the measurement of forming limit curves if the precalibrated measuring
head is mounted on a sheet metal testing machine . 0ll four cameras
observing the specimen from different perspective vie9s are e;actly synchroni:ed and
the image sequences are recorded 9ith a rate of up to %' ; frames per second.
#lectronic shuttering is combined 9ith the progressive scanning mode of the cameras

9ith variable e;posure time to avoid any blur or disturbance due to the obEect motion.
#mploying latest digital camera technology 0uto5rid vario provides '.) million pi;el per
recording. In case of the standard testing velocity of %+ mmAs, a punch depth resolution
of less than ".% mm can be achieved. In many practical cases some lo9er frame rates can
be chosen. The length of the sequence recorded fulfils all practical requirement by
appropriate memory configuration of the noteboo? 76 used.
In addition, the inprocess facility supports the data acquisition of signals from the testing
machine. 1easuring data, e. g. of path and force pictures in the sequence and the
recording can be controlled automatically by corresponding thresholds.
0fter the test, the 9hole sequence of image ensembles is stored in memory and may be
inspected immediately or saved to dis? for further analyses if desired. The sequence can
be displayed step by step, :oomed and also connected to forceApath data in order to
identify the moment and the location 9here the critical nec?ing occured first.
Kualitest provides a fast and accurate tool for the determination of forming limit curves
of sheet metal materials. *irectly connected to the testing machine, the system
gives precise access to the ma;imum strain value Eust before nec?ing and subsequent
crac?ing occurs. 6omfortable soft9are allo9s to create /@6s from a set of specimens
very effectively. /urthermore, the customer have the option to create free editable /@*
reports for documentation. Of course, 0uto5rid vario can also be used e.g. for bulge or
