In this study, to reduce the weight of cross member assembly for small truck. In order to optimize the design of the cross member structure by changing the equation into the rivet coupling method, The size and the hole spacing of the large sheet plate, the rivet hole size of the large sheet plate, In the structural analysis, we looked at what was going to happen, and the tensile, shear The load test was carried out to investigate the damage caused by the maximum load acting on the rivet. Riveting work, but to improve productivity, we developed automated riveting device using robot To reduce the number of workers, reduce jig transfer and installation time, and reduce load factor. To produce the maximum output of the product.

The flat type automotive cross members with high strength steel have advantages in light weight and fewer parts compared to the hump type cross members. But the complex part shape of the flat type cross member and the poor formability of high strength steel make it difficult to form the parts without forming defects, such as splits and wrinkles. The purpose of this study is to develop the flat type automotive cross member with high strength steel. For that purpose, drawing processes are evaluated using PAM-STAMPTM and proper draw die and blank designs are proposed. Using the proposed die and blank design, the flat type upper and lower cross member could be formed successfully without forming defects.
