A new approach to the forming control using forming process model of rheological objects is presented. Manipulative operations of rheological objects can be found in many industrial fields such as food industry and medical product industry. Automatic operations of rheological objects are eagerly required in these fields. Since rheological objects deform during operation processes, it is necessary to estimate their deformation for the automatic operations.
We will propose a forming control of rheological objects using forming process model. First, an extensional forming system of rheological objects is developed. Second, we will propose a forming process model consisting of the expanded shape and the residual part. Next, we will propose forming control using forming process model and will demonstrate the validity of the proposed forming control experimentally.
