The worldwide shipment of the new CRF Software 2007 starts
simultaneously with MTA Malaysia 2007.
Roll Forming:
We will be presenting our new software version „COPRA® RF 2007“.
This version offers new technologies for almost all areas of roll forming which
could up to now be realised with huge efforts so far. This includes the
possibility to integrate drawing dies into a roll forming process, the automatic
design of one or more cage tooling (lineal forming) in a tube welding line, new
types of forming stands in the tube software package and a totally new way to
design roll tooling by means of AutoCAD functionality.
The main highlights of COPRA® RF 2007 are:
§
COPRA® - projects can be linked with a document (drawing). This means: COPRA®
has got a real multi document feature which allows for an easy comparison of
different design projects or a simple way to design combination tool sets.
§ Definition of swages
and claws in the end profile.
§ Bidirectional exchange
of data between COPRA® RF AutoCAD (graphical way to design the flower) and
COPRA® RF Spread-Sheet (spread sheet based design of flower pattern).
§ Object oriented design
of roll tooling based on AutoCAD- functionality. The users will love it...
§ Design of free defined
rolls with undercuts or bearings inside; including subsequent roll drawing
generation or assembly plans...
§ Use of parametric roll
types like cylindric or conic roll types.
§ Use of drawing rings
or dies.
§ Automatic design of
cage forming systems.
§ New types of roll
stands: 4 roll fin pass and 5 roll welding pass.
§ 3-dimensional
representation of COPRA®-projects in Autodesk Inventor.

§
Comfortable data import from complete roll forming stands (DXF-drawings).
§
Extended functionality in COPRA® FEA RF (Finite Element Simulation of the roll
forming processes).
The software for the non-linear, elasto plastic simulation of the roll forming
process allows for the prediction of profile properties before the manufacturing
process even starts. The software gives information like material thinning
effects, twist or strip edge buckling. The user gets knowledge about any changes
in material properties and is therefore able to optimise his roll formed
sections with regard to subsequent forming processes like bending.
COPRA® FEA RF is being used by steel producing companies, machine makers, custom
roll forming companies but also by end users, example car manufacturers.

In particular the new COPRA®
RF software version offers - compared to the current version - more than 60
enhancements or new features. Features which we would like to show you in a
personal demonstration - either at the show or during a meeting (at your site or
via internet).
COPRA® RollScanner
The COPRA® Roll Scanner is working like a fully automatic profile projector and
automatically generates accurate CAD drawings from existing roll tooling (or
profile cross sections) - for archiving purposes or quality control. The data
files can also be used in order to analyse and trouble-shoot existing forming
processes. In this case the scanned data are imported into data M’s finite
element analysis software COPRA® FEA RF here an analysis of the forming and
welding process is done.
