Import the model called-TSPM2003_PSHAPE_Workshop3.psmodel

Start PS-Moldmaker from the applications menu

Start the Cavity/Core Wizard

75


2/99

Select the option to Insert core/cavity plates with inserts andthen Next

The first phase of the Cavity-Core Wizard allows the user toestablish how the split surfaces are built into the tool. The non-inserted core/cavity plates option will create the split surfacesdirectly into the cavity core plates and when the Die Wizard islaunched from here it will step through standard plate sizes.

3/99

An insert registration page has now been added to the CCW in orderto simplify the naming convention process, this is especiallyimportant when adding multiple inserts and slides.

Pick each radio button and then select the item in thegraphics window associated to this selection

Once the Cavity\Core inserts and workplane are in theselection hit the register button to register the components foruse with PSMM

77

RH_INSERT_DATUM

RH_CAVITY_SOLID

RH_CORE_SOLID

78


5/99

Repeat the process for the RH insert set

Select Next

NOTE: Naming convention are still used in the background :-

Moldmaker Naming Conventions

SW_COREn (must be used as the solid name for the slide core)SW_WPn (must be used to determine the orientation and origin of the slidemechanism)DW_Cavity (must be used to name the Cavity Insert Solid)DW_Core (must be used to name the Core Insert)

DW_WP (is the workplane associated with the Die Insert +Z orientated towardsthe cavity)DW_Cavity_Plate ( same as DW_Cavity but for the MPD option )DW_Core_Plate ( same as DW_Core but for the MPD option )

79


6/99

This next stage of the process allows us to pre-select a supplier forour Mold components, we now have a list of 16 supplier 2 of whichare a generic layout that can be used to create custom styles.

Select the Hasco catalogue an then Next

80


7/99

The plates will now be fitted around the inserts and the size of theseries (the X/Y plate dimensions) will be selected based on someconfigurable clearance values for the height, width and length of theplates.

If these clearance values are changed then the list of plates will bere-filtered.

Set MX to 100, MY to 100 and MZ to 30

The Moldbase can be flipped by90 degree increments.

Change the thickness of theCavity Plate to 156 and theCore Plate thickness to 156

The Moldbase tab allows us to establish the size and thickness ofthe plates. If we switch to using Custom here then the user canenter his own value for the series sizes and change the dimensionsof the pillars and screws via the dimensions buttons.

81


8/99

The Insert/Pockets tab allows the user to position the pockets inrelation to the plates.

Switch the tab to Inserts/Pockets

Change the radio button to position the inserts by D2 and G

Set D2 to 65 and G to 0

In this example we need to be more selective as to how wecreate the fillets so change the Corner Radius to 0 and thenhit the Copy to All button

82


9/99

Switch to the Slide tab and then select Insert a SlideMechanism button

The first page of the Slide Wizard allows us to

- create a new core via the Slide Core Wizard- register slide core solid that has been modelled manually- move onto designing a slide mechanism

Change the radio button to the Register option

To save time slides 1 and 2 (which form the grills on the end)have already been registered.

83

Note It is possible to create a slide mechanism by supplying aworkplane only providing the workplane is correctly positioned.Its Z axis must be aligned to the intended movement directionof the slide unit and its X axis must be aligned to the direction


10/99

Select the workplane positioned in the centre backface of thecore as shown above

Next activate the select slide core solid radio button andselect the slide core solid

The workplane and solid can now be registered for use withMoldmaker

Note. Slides 1 and 2 have already been registered.

Change the radio button to design slide mechanism

84


11/99

The second page of the Slide Wizard allows us to establish the slideconfiguration and switch between working off different mechanisms.

Select Slide Mechanism 1 from the list

Choose slide type A

Next

85


12/99

As soon as Stage3 of the slide wizard starts the user is prompted toselect a slider from the list. The slider required for this

demonstration have been provided via a *.xml file.

Copy the xml file (UsrDimensions.xml) provided with this documentto :

D:\dcam\product\PSMoldmaker5440\file\catalogs\generic_metric

Note :-PoweSHAPE will need to be re-started for these settings totake effect.

When prompted choose the above slide from the list

86


13/99

Once the slider is selected the slide unit is previewed in the graphicswindow and the user change any the above parameter to suit theslide design.

Change the vertical offset to 5

Click on the image of the Heel Block (Arrowed above).

Change the Heel Block Edge Height to 35

87


14/99

Click on the image of the Angle Pin

88


15/99

The Slide travel can be calculated by defining the length of theAngle Pin or the length of the Angle Pin can be calculated by theSlide Travel.

Set the Day Light to 300

Set the Angle Pin length to 175

Next

89


16/99

NOTE: The Day Light parameter refers to the open distance between theslider and the cavity plate. This parameter is determined by the

movement of the machine and can effect the slide travel calculation,basically if the angle pin is still engaged when the press has reached itsmaximum opening stroke then the effective height of the pin is reduced.

Set the Length of the Guide Rails to 145

Set the Width to 24

Set the Height to 20

Drafting

The drafting module has recently under gone a number ofimprovements that include improvement to the Hidden Line

algorithm and improvements to the section views.

A template called TSPM2003_Tooling_Template.psmodel has beenincluded with this documentation, before proceeding make sure thatthis has been imported into the database.

We will finish off drafting by creating an assembly plate holeschedule, this can be selected from the Tools menu.

172


99/99

Before creating the hole schedules its worth noting that there aresome configurable options that will determine the holes and holedetails that will be included in this drafting, these options are under

The Holes to Include option can be set to

Normal to the View This will only include holes that arenormal to the current view direction

At any angle This will include all holes in the currentselection regardless of drill direction

In addition to the Holes to Include option there is a flag that can beset to Include Pre-Drilled Holes. By default holes that are flaggedas Pre-Drilled will be ignored by the schedule template (Pre-Drilledholes are the holes that appear on the standard component, thisholes are drilled by the manufacturer of the plate).
