Abstract: The multi-pass scheduling method is a key issue in die-less spinning for determining the quality of the final products, including their shape deviations and wall thicknesses, and has drawn increasing interest in recent studies devoted to trying to improve the accuracy of the formed parts. In this paper, two main parameters, roller path profiles and deformation allocations in each pass, are considered in newly proposed multi-pass scheduling and optimizing methods in die-less spinning. Four processing methods with different roller path profiles and with three deformation allocation methods are proposed for investigating the influence of scheduling parameters on product qualities. The ‘similar geometry principle for restraining shape deviation’ and the ‘small curvature principle for maintaining wall thickness’ are presented for optimal design of roller path profiles; in addition, the ‘uniform allocation principle for maintaining wall thickness’ and the ‘large deformation principle for restraining shape deviation’ are brought forward as suggestions for deformation allocations. Based on these principles, a scheduling method denoted by RF+(FP & EHS) is presented to improve the comprehensive quality of a product of die-less spinning.
