Based on a novel conception of BHF control technique driven by servo-motor, a new BHF device with six-bar linkage mechanism has been designed and manufactured. Whole control system of the new BHF technique was developed, and the basic structure of the hardware configuration of the system was given. Software analysis, implementation and division of the functional modules have been done. Also, the control software in data acquisition and processing module has been developed in the relevant technology of the BHF control system for the requirements of real-time, stability and accuracy. By the new BHF device combined with the hardware and the software system, the BHF can be regulated accurately variation with the predefined BHF profile in deep drawing process.

As many advan- tages such as short transmission chain, simple control system, numerical control, and so on, this new BHF con- trol system should be more effective to regulate the BHF and to improve the quality of forming parts during the process in comparison with the hydraulic system. In deep drawing, the blank holder plays a role in regu- lating the metal flow and when the blank holder forces (BHF) selected properly, it can eliminate wrinkles and delay fracture in the drawn part. When the BHF
