Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II

TITLE :

Design Metal Bracket using NX Cad.

OBJECTIVE :

Develope the metal Bracket by using detail provided 2d drawing.

INTRODUCTION :

Bracket's are the structural component used to increase the stiffness, rigidity and majorly used as connecting component for various application. The brackets are classified by their Alphabetical letter'sshape L,T,U,C depending upon the application we develope the bracket which is best fit at the connection. Due to it's Critical function Bracket's are really very good in their structure and stiffness. To increase the stiffness of the Bracket component Gusset are introduced in the Brackets. It is Placed between the Two perpendicualar surface's majorly the profile of an gusset's are similar to triangular shape's. In thinner metal components below 2.5mm Gussets are embossed in parent material due to its formability which is reduce the manufacturing cost and good finish in the bracket. In other hand due to heavy application's the thickness of the bracket also increased to withstand. In this case Gusset's and brackets are separetely Manufactured and welded together. Due to its the finish and the Manufacturing time is higher comparatively then previous Bracket.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY :

DESCRIPTION :

• COUNTER FLANGE : Draw the Sketch profile and use the Counter flange.

• NORMAL CUTOUT : Draw the sketch on the surface and cut out the profile by using Normal cutout.

• BREAK CORNER : This is used to modify or round the edges of a sheet metal part, typically by applying a chamfer or fillet. This feature is essential for improving manufacturability and preventing sharp edges that could cause safety issues or material stress.

• UNBEND : This is useful for determining the flat pattern before manufacturing and ensuring the design works as expected when bent and unbent.

• HOLE : This command allows you to define hole size, shape, depth, and other parameters, making it essential for adding features like mounting holes, access points, or drainage holes.

• ADVANCED FLANGES : It create complex flanged edges that can improve the functionality and aesthetics of the part. Advanced flanges allow for more customization compared to standard flanges, enabling features such as varying widths, angles, and shapes.

• RE-BEND : It is used to reposition the flanges to its original position.

• FLAT PATTERN : Flat Pattern feature effectively ensures that your sheet metal designs are ready for manufacturing.

CONCLUSION :

Here we developed the Sheet Metal Bracket Component by using the deatiled drawing.
