  • Patent number: 10603705
    Abstract: A method for roll-forming disk carriers or the like, which are designed as a pot-shaped sheet metal part having inner and outer teeth, wherein a multitude of cassettes is equidistantly arranged on the circumference of a roll-forming tool, said cassettes having profile rollers arranged in their interior, which roll out the disk carrier to be formed with their outer circumference and thus impart toothing on the disk carrier to be formed, wherein the forming depth of the profile rollers at the disk carrier to be formed is designed in such a way that a narrow, peripheral, self-contained, unformed bridge remains between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the toothing, wherein the bridge increases the engine-speed strength of the disk carrier as a hoop band cylinder that is integrated into the toothing.

  • Patent number: 9981296
    Abstract: A method for producing an internally and/or externally toothed pot-shaped sheet metal part having teeth extending toward the pot center axis, wherein an un-toothed pot-shaped sheet metal part is inserted into a die and then, by means of a relative movement between the sheet metal part and associated profile rollers, a profile is rolled onto the pot-shaped sheet metal part by the profile rollers applied to the sheet metal part and thus alternating internal and external gear teeth are applied to the sheet metal part, wherein the profile rollers form the sheet metal part oriented radially from the inside toward the outside, in that the profile rollers roll along the inner circumference of the sheet metal part.

  • Patent number: 9919353
    Abstract: A method for precision cutting of workpieces using a press which includes a press frame, in the press opening of which press frame a press ram, that works against a press table, is movably driven, wherein at least one of the press tools is formed as a cutting tool that includes a cutting punch, a downholder, a cutting die and a counter support. The cutting tool operates as a precision cutting tool. A lower tool part of the cutting tool includes a controlled retaining module that retains the counter support in a certain press ram position to enable ejecting the scrap.
