1. Introduction -- 2. Equipment and material flow control -- 3. Recent advances in stamping control -- 4. Machine control -- 5. Laboratory development of process control -- 6. Process control -- 7. Auto-tuning and adaptive control -- 8. Direct and indirect adaptive process control -- 9. Concluding remarks
Summary
Presents a comprehensive and structured approach to the design and implementation of controllers for the sheet metal stamping process. Describes the shopfloor implementation of a technology effective at reducing defects and scrap-metal generation, as well as adaptive control techniques that handle real-world uncertainties in a real stamping plant
