1) A finite element analysis was conducted on a segment tool used in a CNC press using SolidWorks Simulation. 2) The segment tool was fixed on the upper end and a force of 120,000 N was applied on the bottom end to simulate the pressing force. 3) The results found maximum von Mises stresses of 221.7 MPa, maximum displacements of 0.537 mm, and maximum equivalent strains of 0.000833, indicating the tool will withstand the intended forces without failing.

5. DESIGN TOOL FOR PRODUCTION PROFILE
While designing the tools you need to become familiar with the possibilities of the press that, to see
its characteristics. This is a CNC press FLEXI German manufacturer RAS band from Sindelfingen's.
The length of the profile that can be profiled are 4060 mm, thicknesses up to 2.5mm, the movement
of the stop 10 to 1550 mm. The maximum force presses 120 000 N (12t).
Sl.22 Flexi bend
Sl.23. Segment Tools
When designing tools we have the limitation that the total height of tools Fig.23 can not be greater
than 160 mm. This is because the press has a working stroke of 160 mm. If the developed tools to
measure more than 160 mm would lead to tool breakage, because the travel range of 160 mm above
the quick stroke presses, the tool is approaching uncontrollable speed.

6. (Finite element analysis – FEA)
As part of the software package SolidWorks integrated tool for analysis of stress and deformation
SolidWorks Simulation in which he analyzed static load segment tool presses the finite element
method.
As a fixed bearing tool is defined in the upper position, and force loads in the bottom of the tool. The
tool is loaded with a force of 120,000 N (Figure 26), a tool material is a tool steel whose
characteristics are defined in the database software tool SolidWorks.
