Patent number: 9586288Abstract: A sheet metal component bent from a sheet metal blank having a triangular corner comprises a first and a second sheet metal member bent along bending lines from a base member to form two edges of the triangular corner. Two outer edges are weldable to each other to form a third edge. A recess extends into the base member, formed by a curved and/or polygonal first and second edge which protrudes towards the first edge. The second edge extends with a projection beyond a straight line defined by the bending line of the first sheet metal member. A projection tip is spaced from the first edge at least by a thickness of the sheet metal. When the sheet metal members are bent the projection is surrounded by the first edge and the recess is at least substantially closed by the projection.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KGInventor: Joerg Heusel

Patent number: 9207663Abstract: A plate workpiece processing tool includes a first tool portion and a second tool portion. The first and second tool portions are arranged along an application axis in spaced relation to each other such that a plate workpiece can be disposed therebetween. The tool also includes two or more processing devices that are carried by the first tool portion, and one or more counter-devices that are carried by the second tool portion. The processing devices are rotatable, relative to the first tool portion, about a first rotational axis that extends perpendicular to the application axis and are arranged to follow each other along an axis extending perpendicularly to the application axis. The processing devices and the one or more counter-devices are selectively alignable to form a plurality of alternative device pairings for processing plate workpieces therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co.

Patent number: 8618433Abstract: A machine tool for separative machining of preferably plate-like workpieces, for example, metal sheets, has a workpiece support and a discharge device on the workpiece support. The discharge device discharges workpiece parts produced as products of the separative machining. The discharge device includes two opening sections are adjustable relative to one another in the horizontal Y direction to form a through-opening for discharge of workpiece parts. The opening sections are adjustable into different positions relative to one another in the horizontal Y direction, to form through-openings of different widths for discharge of workpiece parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KGInventor: Joerg Heusel

Patent number: 7661615Abstract: A device for comminuting a residual sheet metal grid includes a grid supply system defining a grid supply plane and supplying the grid in a longitudinal direction; and a cutting assembly including a plurality of shearing teeth extending along a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. The shearing teeth can include a cutting edge, a cutting edge portion, or both a cutting edge and a cutting edge portion. The cutting assembly can be constructed and arranged to cut the metal grid along the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2005Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmachinen GmbH + Co.
