Water jet incremental sheet metal forming is the leading research topic in sheet metal forming industry, recently. In this work, a five-axis machine for water jet incremental sheet metal forming is designed and built, which is made up of four parts, namely linear motion unit, nozzle tilt and rotation unit, fixture and seal chamber. The nozzle tilt and rotation unit has two rotation degrees of freedom and the linear motion unit has three translational degrees of freedom. Then, two types of nozzles including L type nozzle and upright nozzle are designed and built. Finally, two different kinds of fixture are designed and built for common sheet metal forming and bellows expansion joints forming, respectively. |
