Hydroforming process is a sheet metal forming process with higher metal drawing capability than other conventional methods. This process uses only the punch instead of punch & die & Hydraulic oil acts as the die for the forming operation. This paper deals with the automation of Hydroforming aluminum sheets of various thickness under various pressure using a graphical programming language catted LABVIEW which facilitates to control the operation of the process from remote place through networking, by just using an ordinary PC.

This process uses only the punch instead of punch & die & Hydraulic oil acts as the die for the forming operation. This paper deals with the automation of Hydroforming aluminum sheets of various thickness under various pressure using a graphical programming language catted LABVIEW which facilitates to control the operation of the process from remote place through networking, by just using an ordinary PC.
