Abstract

This paper focuses on determining the friction energy loss in the mechanism of a mechanical crank press. After defining the crank press mechanism and how it works, we describe the energy balance of a technological operation—forming. Four distinct methodologies for calculating friction loss in the mechanism are then presented, namely an empirical method, a spreadsheet calculation utilising force decomposition in a crank mechanism, an analytical calculation of the dynamic behaviour of a press, and a multibody simulation. Each additional approach expands the possibilities for approaching reality, but as the primary aim of the study is to compare the approaches, these possibilities are not exploited. Multibody simulation has proved itself to be accurate and suitable for simulating press mechanisms and investigating their dynamics. Multibody simulation is a much more powerful tool that can lead to a digital twin, which can help us to develop a less energy-demanding press. Confirmation of the multibody simulation results is the main outcome of the comparison and will be used in future work.
