- TSISF two sided incremental sheet forming
- Incremental Sheet Forming can be divided into two groups, depending on the number of contact points between sheet, tool and die.
- the term Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is used when the bottom contour of the part is supported by a faceplate.
- SPIF Single Point Incremental Forming
- the forming tool is drawing contours from the outside inwards, moving the centre of the blank gradually downwards.
- TPIF Two Point Incremental Forming
- the forming tool in TPIF is drawing contours from the inside outwards, moving the perimeter of the blank gradually downwards or in the other case the die is moving upwards and the blank-holder is fixed.
- An alternative and more flexible variant with two synchronized forming tools can also be used to make the desired part.
- This process variant JP 09-085355
- JP 09-085355 is an obvious extension of TPIF.

- This variant is also characterised in that it comprises the continuous detection of the stresses on the sheet due to the movement of the first and second tools and the actuation on the means of fastening to alter the gripping force thereof, according to the stresses detected.
- DSIF requires two forming tool heads opposing one another and moving simultaneously on both sides of a sheet metal.
- the device consists of a C frame mounted on the spindle saddle of a CNC machine and the tool heads are mounted on the top and bottom bases of the C frame.
- the drawback in this case is that a C frame mounted on the spindle saddle of a CNC machine is limiting the workspace and therefor the freedom of the forming.

- The present invention relates to a device for two sided incremental sheet forming (TSISF), comprising a sheet plate clamp frame for gripping a sheet around its perimeter, supports for holding said clamp frame on a base plate, an upper forming tool above the sheet, a lower forming tool below the sheet and means for synchronised moving said tools facing each other, according to the preamble of
claim 1. - An early incremental sheet metal forming process used at large scale is spinning, used for the manufacturing of rotational parts in low to medium large series. Today the Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) or Asymmetric Incremental Sheet Forming (AISF) process is similar to spinning (
US 3342051 ,US 3316745 ,JP 10-180365 - Incremental Sheet Forming can be divided into two groups, depending on the number of contact points between sheet, tool and die. The term Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is used when the bottom contour of the part is supported by a faceplate. In SPIF the forming tool is drawing contours from the outside inwards, moving the centre of the blank gradually downwards.
- The term Two Point Incremental Forming (TPIF) is used when a full or partial die is present.
- The forming tool in TPIF is drawing contours from the inside outwards, moving the perimeter of the blank gradually downwards or in the other case the die is moving upwards and the blank-holder is fixed. An alternative and more flexible variant with two synchronized forming tools can also be used to make the desired part. This process variant (

EP 1560668 discloses various configurations, including the use of two robots which needs synchronised control. - A process with one controller for two synchronized forming tools, with at least three degrees of freedom, corresponding to movements according to axes X, Y and Z, can be found in
EP 1977842 . This variant is also characterised in that it comprises the continuous detection of the stresses on the sheet due to the movement of the first and second tools and the actuation on the means of fastening to alter the gripping force thereof, according to the stresses detected. - A set-up so-called "Dyna(mic)-Die" has been suggested by Franzen et al. (Franzen, V., Kwiatkowski, L., Sebastiani, G., Shankar, R., Tekkaya, A.E., Kleiner, M., 2008. "Dyna-die: towards full kinematic incremental forming", Proceedings Esaform, Lyon, France, April 23-25 2008, paper #302.) but it is restricted to rotational symmetric motions and needs a synchronised control.
- According to J. Cao at al. [Yongjun Wang, Ying Huang, Jian Cao: Experimental Study on a New Method of Double Side Incremental Forming, in the Proceedings of ASME 2008 Conference, October 7-10, 2008, Evanston, Illinois, USA, pp. 601-607] DSIF requires two forming tool heads opposing one another and moving simultaneously on both sides of a sheet metal. The device consists of a C frame mounted on the spindle saddle of a CNC machine and the tool heads are mounted on the top and bottom bases of the C frame. The drawback in this case is that a C frame mounted on the spindle saddle of a CNC machine is limiting the workspace and therefor the freedom of the forming.
- The main problem with the prior art devices is that the movement of the lower tool may be influenced by the forces acting on the arm holding the tool and the desired accuracy of the forming may not always be achieved. The load on the mount frame or other means holding the forming tools may be more, than 100 kp, and it is rather difficult to keep the exact position of the tools.
- Therefor, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawback and to provide a device for two sided incremental sheet forming, which can ensure an accurate forming of sheet materials by stabilized and reliable guiding both of the forming tools.
- The device suggested by the present invention to achieve the object above is defined in
claim 1. - The upper forming tool is moved in X, Y and Z directions, according to the desired form. The lower forming tool is copying the X and Y motion of the upper forming tool, and this X and Y copying motion is realized with a mechanical copying device, but differently from the prior art, the lower forming tool has a motion in Z direction not together with the copying device but using some touching device (mechanic, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical or the combination of those), it realizes the X and Y copying independently from the Z axis direction motion of the upper forming tool.
- This lower touching device is fixed to said means for moving the lower forming tool on the surface of a base plate, with at least one ball transfer unit and with three degrees of freedom, corresponding to movements according to axes X and Y and a rotation around axis Z, on a base plate.
- The reaction force in the Z direction acting on the lower forming tool and consequently on the pressing device from the pressing of the sheet is transferred to the base plate through the moving device.
- The moving device is passive or active motion equipment and allows free motion in the X-Y plane, and can stabilize the movement of it. A stabilizer may be constructed according to provide e.g. two rotational motions (see
Fig. 3 ), one rotation and one translation motion (seeFig. 4 ) or translation motion in X and Y direction (seeFig. 5 ). In case of active motion, any kind of drive can be used. - The surface touching the lower forming tool mounting may be stiff, compliant, or regulated. The compliant version is preferred, because it provides the most effective self-adjusting position of the lower forming tool.
