Innovating Automotive Body Shaping

Most people are unaware of the complex technologies required to make body components on today’s modern cars, such as car doors or trim for windows and sills. Generally, these items have a highly polished finish and need to be formed into complex shapes with unusual bends. This requires careful manipulation and forming of the material to ensure no material stress lines and wrinkles form.

The conventional controllers used for shaping automotive body parts offer limited accuracy, and reconfiguring the machines to accommodate new parts costs time and money. We needed a flexible and cost efficient system to improve the process. An automotive manufacturer approached Omiga Technology to develop such a system. The resulting machine stretch bends material to form automotive body parts, accommodating precise positioning and force to apply to the material at specific points in the forming process. The whole process is controlled using multiple National Instruments cRIO controllers.
