Systematic analysis of geometric inaccuracy and its contributing factors in roboforming.

ABSTRACT: Incremental sheet metal forming is a highly versatile die-less forming process for manufacturing complex sheet metal components. Robot-assisted incremental sheet forming, or roboforming, allows a wider range of tool motion, providing the capability to shape intricate components. This makes roboforming the most flexible variant of the incremental forming method. However, the serial arrangement of links and joints in a robotic manipulator results in low positional accuracy under forming loads due to insufficient structural stiffness. The stiffness of the machine frame and tool directly impacts the accuracy of the final formed profile. The impact of machine compliance on component shape in incremental sheet forming is substantial in roboforming. This work presents a methodology for systematic
