Abstract: With the development of precision manufacturing, the understanding of tolerance has become a research hotspot in the field of manufacturing. An adaptable design method for understanding tolerance in the precision stamping process is proposed in this study. First, fluctuations of tolerance which are caused by differences in the stamping process are analyzed, such as differences in material and thickness, which can lead to changes in the metal flow stress curve. Second, a condition-driven adaptive design method is constructed based on a monitoring system and hydraulic control system. The mapping rules between multiple disturbance factors and the execution strategy are established by the hidden Markov model algorithm. Third, executive parameters, such as velocity, pressure, and gaps, are calculated and optimized by the data statistics of partial tolerance fluctuations in the control module. Then disturbances of various conditions could be adaptively controlled timely and effectively by the executive parameters. Finally, the adaptive design method for tolerance of one precision stamping part is applied, and the effect of the application is proved by the optimized results.

The paper describes an interresting apporoanch for an adaptive control methodology for stamping.
