Abstract

This document describes an innovative manufacturing process for the production of omegas with high curvature. Starting from the shape of an omega in plane, the geometry of an omega with high curvature is obtained in a second manufacturing process, without appearance of wrinkles. With this manufacturing process, curved shapes that are currently made manually can be automated, with the consequent benefit of:

Highly repetitive process. Great quality. Easily automated. Recurring cost reduction and Lead Time.

This work shows the initial process of obtaining the omega with curvature, to later describe the final process easily industrializable, and the tests performed to validate the process. Although the work focused on obtaining an omega curve, it is easily extrapolated to other configurations, such as Z-frames.
