Abstract

In order to process micro scale parts more conveniently, especially the micro parts with complex shape, a new micro blanking equipment based on piezoelectric ceramic driving is proposed in this paper. Compared with other large precision machining equipment, the equipment cost has been greatly reduced. Using displacement sensor to detect the change of output displacement and feedback control piezoelectric actuator to control the change of relevant parameters, the control precision is high. The micro gear parts with diameter less than 2 mm are obtained through the blanking experiment on the experimental equipment. From the relationship between the obtained time and the punch output force, output displacement and die adjustment, it can be seen that the designed equipment has good processing performance and can complete the blanking forming of micro parts well.
