Item Feasibility study of the robot-roller hemming process(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-03-10) Safa, Shadi; Çakır, M. Cemal; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü/Konstrüksiyon ve İmalat Anabilim Dalı.Hemming is a technology used in the automotive industry to join inner and outer closure panels together (hoods, doors, tailgates, etc.). It is the process of bending/folding the flange of the outer panel over the inner one by plastic deformation. Hemming of closure parts in the automotive industry is a complex engineering process that has a lot of parameters to reach the required well-looking vehicle trims. The process to obtain this result is related to closure parts designers, closure metal parts manufacturers, and hemming capital equipment manufacturers. The responsibility of the final design of the part and equipment cannot be decided unless a common feasibility study has been done. The study aims to categorize a preferred matrix of a feasibility study and give technical important details of each task to decrease the investment required for equipment, decrease trial and error, have a high-quality product, optimize cycle time, and acquire a fast-commissioning period. This feasibility study of the matrix of actions is relying on the result of each step and the difficulties faced within it. When an error or problem is noticed a root cause is done after which the analysis should be reviewed from the beginning of the loop, rechecking and optimizing each aspect.
