Publication number: 20240157621Abstract: A precise shearing process can be made possible, with a cost-advantageous embodiment of extrusion residue shears, if the shearing forces and the shearing movement are applied or carried out in as compact and targeted a manner as possible. This can be implemented, in the case of a suitable embodiment of the corresponding extrusion residue shears or of the corresponding method, in each instance, by a suitable embodiment of the drive train that belongs to the shearing movement, by pulling of the related shear blade, by a shearing drive that is separate from positioning and/or by suitable regulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: SMS group GmbHInventors: Christian STRICK, Valentin GALA LOSADA, Markus SCHAPRIAN

Publication number: 20240157422Abstract: An extrusion press for extrusion of a material to be pressed through a die has a recipient that holds the material to be pressed, and a module that can be displaced relative to the die. The module can be acted on, during extrusion, by an electric motor drive, with the force required for extrusion. The electric motor drive is connected to the module that is displaceable relative to the die, by a bearing unit that has play perpendicular to the force; and/or during extrusion, drives contraction devices for contraction of a region of a tension element that stands under tension, which element counters the force required for extrusion by tension, and/or is a linear drive, which displaces a module that is fixed in place relative to the die during extrusion and the module that is displaceable relative to the die during extrusion, relative to one another, during extrusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: SMS group GmbHInventors: Valentin GALA LOSADA, Markus SCHAPRIAN

Publication number: 20220362827Abstract: Stretch-rolling device (1) and stretch-rolling method for pressure-forming workpieces (W) by rolls, the stretch-rolling device (1) having: a pair of work rolls with two rolls (10), which can each be rotated about their roll axes and form a roll gap between them, the rolls (10) implement a plurality of stages (S1 to S4) in the axial direction, which are set up for the stepwise deformation of the workpieces (W) by the workpieces (W) passing through the stages (S1 to S4) successively; a manipulator (20) with a plurality of gripping devices (21) which are arranged on a working side (AS) of the pair of work rolls and are set up to grip the workpieces (W) and at an assigned stage to guide the workpieces through (S1 to S4) the roll gap in a feed/retraction direction; a support (30) arranged to temporarily support workpieces (W) and in cooperation with the manipulator (20) to transfer the workpieces to another gripping device (21), preferably the adjacent gripping device (21) of the next higher stage (S2 to S4).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventor: Markus SCHAPRIAN

Patent number: 11498116Abstract: A stretch rolling method and a stretch rolling unit can roll out any gripping ends and uses the narrowest possible installation space. In the stretch rolling method, a workpiece is successively fed to at least two passes of a stretch rolling unit of a gripping device, wherein the workpiece is rotated by 180° about an axis of rotation lying perpendicular to the main direction of extent of the workpiece between the first pass of the two passes and the second pass of the two passes.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: SMS Group GmbHInventors: Stephan Ackermann, Markus Schaprian, Frederik Knauf

Patent number: 10960420Abstract: A spray head for supplying at least one die of a forming machine with lubricating coolant, the forming machine including a lower die and an upper die, is preferably produced by rapid manufacturing and is designed as a single piece to a large extent. The use of rapid manufacturing allows the production of the most varied configurations, such as stabilizing honey-comb structures or drip points, which allow a more advantageous design of the spray head. The spray head carries at least one two-substance nozzle connected with at least one feed channel. The nozzle body of the nozzle and the channel wall of the feed channel are configured in one piece with one another or the channel wall of the feed channel and a spray head foot carrying a supply connector connected with the feed channel are configured in one piece with one another.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: SMS group GmbHInventors: Axel Rossbach, Markus Schaprian, Norbert Gober, Thomas Koch, Olga Plotnikov, Christoph Heinzel

Patent number: 10821490Abstract: To minimize the setup times in the case of a tool changeover on rolls, the movement sequences are separated into transverse movements and vertical movements using a tool changeover system and method for changeover of at least one tool disposed on a roll shaft in a working position. In one aspect, the tool changeover system includes a tool changeover rack, a vertical transport and a transverse transport. A drawing frame separate from the tool changeover rack can be transported transversely separately with reference to the tool changeover rack. The tool changeover rack has a device for connecting with the vertical transport and a tool accommodation for accommodating the tool. The drawing frame has a device for connecting with the transverse transport and a device for connecting with the tool.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: SMS group GmbHInventors: Juergen Bieniek, Markus Schaprian, Ralf Rode
