This video illustrates the use of the electromagnetic metalworking method to conduct several common manufacturing operations. Strong electromagnetic forces are applied to aluminum sheet metal workpieces via a single-turn copper path actuator connected to a capacitor bank discharge source. Electrical energy is charged to several thousand volts in the capacitors, and then it is released through the coil over less than a millisecond, initiating electromagnetic repulsive forces that act on the workpiece. A single coil geometry is used to conduct a set of operations, including blank shearing, 90 degree edge flanging, and air-tight sealing hemming, demonstrating the versatility of the equipment. Combination of these methods produces a sealed container structure to showcase the real-world applicability of this technology.
