  • Patent number: 11040405
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for shearing an end section from a rod material by means of a cutting blade that is movable against a stationary blade, transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod material, during the shearing operation. The end section to be sheared is brought into contact on its end-face side with a longitudinal stop and is acted on, via the longitudinal stop, with a pressure force in the longitudinal direction of the rod material. The action of pressure force on the end section takes place during the shearing operation with a position-controlled longitudinal position of the longitudinal stop. It is thus possible to manage with a lower pressure force than with conventional force-controlled pressure force action, without the shearing quality of the separation faces at the end section being impaired.

  • Patent number: 10537932
    Abstract: In a transport method for transferring workpieces between a plurality of successive stations of a processing device, especially a forming device, workpieces are in each case transported from one station to the respective next station of the processing device simultaneously by means of a plurality of gripping tools which are movable jointly in a transport cycle. In the event of a process disturbance, the transport cycle is suspended and the gripping tools with the workpieces are moved into a waiting position in which the workpieces are outside the operating range of processing tools of the stations of the processing device. Once the process disturbance has been eliminated, the transport cycle of the workpieces is resumed. By virtue of the movement of the gripping tools into a safe waiting position outside the operating range of the processing tools of the stations, consequent damage resulting from the process disturbance can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 9545660
    Abstract: In order to produce a formed part furnished with a through hole, a rod material is advanced by a defined length in the direction of its lengthwise extension into a forming die through a stationary guide and then immobilised by a clamping arrangement that engages with it circumferentially. The end portion of the rod material is then axially swaged by a swaging tool and is thus shaped into a disc, the circumference of which is defined by the forming die. The disc is then penetrated axially by a dishing tool and impact extruded at the same time, the displaced material flowing between the dishing tool and the inner circumferential wall of the forming die. The formed part located in the forming die is then rotated coaxially relative to the rest of the rod material and thereby separated from the rest of the rod material by torsion shearing.

  • Patent number: 9120142
    Abstract: To produce a molded part with a through-hole, a rod-shaped blank is pushed through a guide into a cavity and fixed in place. The end region of the blank is compressed and reshaped into a disk. A disk core having the same cross-sectional shape as the blank is ejected out of the disk using a punch and pushed into the guide and moved back together with the unshaped part of the blank. The disk is severed from the disk core and the molded part is removed from the cavity. During the penetration step, the disk present in the cavity is subjected to an axial pressure in the disk core ejection direction and the blank is subjected to an axial counter-force opposite to the disk core ejection direction.

  • Patent number: 6826946
    Abstract: A forming machine according to the invention comprises at least one forming station having a punch and a die as tools and a device for setting the axial position of one of the two tools. The setting device has, as adjusting wedge, a rotary wedge disk which is rotatable about a rotation axis and bears with a bearing surface against a parent body. The rotary wedge disk is provided with an inclined plane on the other disk side. The setting device also comprises a pressure piece which is composed of a pressure part and a rotary part having an end face. The end face bears against the inclined plane in such a way that it is displaced relative to the rotary wedge disk eccentrically to the rotation axis when the rotary wedge disk is rotated, the axial distance between pressure piece and parent body changing in the process. Since the adjusting wedge is a rotary wedge disk, the bearing surface rotates on the parent body and is not displaced longitudinally during an adjustment.
