Blank holding force and drawbead displacement are two of them that can be controlled during the forming process. For this purpose, an electro-hydraulic computerized sheet-metal strip sliding device has been constructed. The basic characteristic of this device is realization of variable contact pressure and drawbead height as functions of time or stripe displacement. There are both, pressure and drawbead, ten linear and nonlinear functions. Additional features consist of the ability to measure drawing force, contact pressure, drawbead displacement etc. Article history: Received 8 March 2012 Accepted 13 April 2012 Online 3 May 2012 Keywords: Deep drawing; Drawbead; Variable contact conditions; Tribology.
