  • Patent number: 11577294
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a shaped sheet metal component from a billet by means of U O forming, wherein firstly a preform is created by the U-forming and then a final shaping is performed by the O forming to give a final form.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2023
    Assignee: BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH
    Inventors: Guenter Fortmeier, Aloys Schroeder, Matthias Koerner, Eugen Seibel, Thomas Henksmeier
  • Patent number: 11524324
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a bent torsional profile comprising the following process steps: a) provision of a plate made of planar sheet metal, b) reshaping of the plate through the introduction of a bent trough oriented in the longitudinal direction of the plate in a central length portion (6) of the plate at a distance from the front edges of the plate, forming legs between the trough and the longitudinal edges of the plate, c) reshaping of the legs in such a manner that an open profile is created, d) reshaping of the legs in such a manner that a hollow profile is produced, wherein a longitudinal gap is formed between the two legs over the entire longitudinal extent thereof and wherein an air gap is created between the legs and the trough in the region of the trough, e) joining of the two legs over the entire longitudinal gap.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11141770
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing a shaped sheet metal part from a billet by UO forming. First, a preform is created by the U-forming. Then, final forming to give a final form is carried out by the O-forming. The preform has in cross section a maximum width that is smaller than the maximum width of the final form produced after the O-forming.

  • Patent number: 9802235
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a torsional profile from a blank. The torsional profile has torsionally rigid tubular end sections, a torsionally flexible U-shaped middle longitudinal section and, between the middle longitudinal section and the end sections, transition sections which change from the U-shaped cross section to the tubular cross section.
