5.13 Shape classification
For operations scheduling, during which the sequence of operations plans for the extrusions
are produced, it is important to collect and record empirical values.
This is why a shape classification table is used in which the various extrusion shapes are or-
dered according to operating method, sequence of operations, degree of difficulty etc. Table
5.6 shows a shape classification table. The advantages of this kind of classification are:
– Production of sequence of operations plans for new parts.
If sequence of operations plans already exist in the shape classification table for similar
parts, this makes the production of a new sequence of operations plan easier as it can be ba-
sed on similar shapes.
This means the induction of new inexperienced workers is made far simpler and the need
for specialists is reduced.
– Furthermore, groups of the same shape have the same or a similar amount of difficulty
during pressing.
Depending on the group of shapes, the extent of the deformation efficiency to be expected
can also be deduced (see Table 5.7).
– There are also advantages for tool manufacture. Similar shapes also produce similar ele-
ments as concerns tools; these elements can be standardised within a company, simplified
and thus produced at less expense.
