The Purpose
This webinar will help any customer that does stamping work, and not only the drawing portion of work.
However those that do any type of drawing, especially deep drawing, whether it be small or large parts will greatly benefit from the information.
Drawing and deep drawing use the same principles, however deep drawing usually refers to when the height of the part must be taller than the width.
The webinar will contain the below information that will be helpful to you and your customers.
Day 1 will define the difference between drawing and stretching and will discuss material properties that can be used not only in drawing applications but in punching, bending, forming, and many other applications.
Day 2 will focus on the drawing operations itself. We will discuss the topic of controlling the metal flow and lubricant basics. We will be utilizing the Komatsu H1F200-2 and our own demo tool to discuss the drawing process.
