Master Thesis at Gestamp HardTech. Department: TechCenterCorrelation and optimization of theoretical 3D laser cutting simulation
Gestamp HardTech in Luleå is part of the global Gestamp group which develops and manufactures components for the automotive industry. Gestamp HardTech serves many well-known customers and specializes in the production of press-hardened components.
With the global aim of reducing CO₂ emissions and increasing safety in next-generation vehicles, innovative design and lightweight solutions are essential. The press hardening process plays a key role in this transformation. Gestamp HardTech was the first production plant in the world to work with press hardening and has extensive experience and expertise, supported by an in-house R&D center that supports Gestamp globally.
BackgroundTechCenter is one of the R&D groups in Luleå, working with definition and optimization of production planning for press hardened parts within the global Gestamp organization. The documentation provided from TechCenter to internal sales departments forms the basis for all global press hardening quotations provided from Gestamp. Needless to say, accurate calculations and simulations are of outmost importance to provide accurate quotations to Gestamp's customers.
A press hardened component is manufactured from a flat sheet of steel, shaped with massive presses into the desired shape. Commonly, the flat sheet will have some additional material added depending on i.e. customer tolerances and shape complexity of the final part. One of the main cost impacts for a press hardened component is to then in a secondary operation remove this excess material, using 3D laser cutting machines.
Achieving the time required for this operation is currently formula based. However TechCenter is working on implementing a simulation based method of evaluating a 3D-geometry to further improve the accuracy of the laser cycle time evaluation. However, initial correlation tests indicate a substantial discrepancy between simulated values and actual values from production.
GoalPerform additional correlation studies based on real life production results. This benchmarking should be carried out both through comparison with existing simulation tools from Gestamp's laser machine supplier as well as physical testing in real-world conditions. After testing, an optimization of TechCenter's in-house developed laser cutting evaluation should be performed.
