Multi-linkage mechanism is the main driving mode used in drawing machinery press. Through parameter optimization, low and stable rate in drawing process and a quick backhaul function to improve the quality and efficiency of drawing parts for slider were realized. According to the eight bar linkage mechanism which is most commonly used in the press transmission structure, the multiparametric modeling of linkage analysis and optimization program based on ANSYS/APDL was developed. The program is divided into four parts including pre-processing, solving, post-processing and optimization. The mechanism parameters were input into pre-processing module to build the element model; ANSYS data were extracted from post-processing module to receive the objective function and state variables by programming, and it may achieve calculation of any parametric modeling mechanism by modifying pre-processing model. Eight bar mechanism optimization examples were given finally. The process drawing speed changed greatly before optimization, however. the speed was very smooth after optimization. The slider stroke and pull out speed can satisfy the pre-requests of design.
