Publication number: 20170136519Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for punching workpieces. A punching tool is configured to move during a punching stroke along a stroke axis towards a workpiece to be punched. The punching tool is configured to move away from the punched workpiece during a return stroke. The punching tool includes first and second components configured to be coupled hydraulically for concurrent movement along the stroke axis. The punching tool includes a punching drive for moving the first component along the stroke axis. The punching apparatus is configured to move the second component relative to the first component at a first transmission ratio during the punching stroke. The punching apparatus is configured to move the second component relative to the first component at a second transmission ratio in response to a reaction force of the workpiece exceeding a threshold value of the punching drive during the punching stroke.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Werner Erlenmaier, Frank Schmauder

Publication number: 20170136520Abstract: A system for flaring an end of a fluid line includes a first and second adapter mountable on a first and second jaw of the gripping tool, respectively, and an arbor. Once mounted, the first and second adapters each have a working surface facing toward each other defining a channel half-profile. In a closed position, the working surfaces together form a channel from the half-profiles having a flare shape portion and a linear portion for receiving a fluid line in a non-slip fit. The working surface of one adapter has a U-shaped profile, and the other adapter is configured to be received therein. Each sidewall of the U-shaped profile defines a port opening into the channel. The arbor includes a die head that forms a flared end on a fluid line received in the channel as the arbor is inserted therein via the port.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Robert J.

Publication number: 20170136521Abstract: A manufacturing method of press-molded article of the present invention comprises a step of placing a member to be pressed in a press molding apparatus and a step of pressing a flat plate portion of the member to be pressed by bringing a first press portion and a second press portion closer to each other. A first opposing surface and a second opposing surface, while facing to each other, keep in contact with the flat plate portion during pressing. In the press step, a thick part is formed on the flat plate portion by allowing a part of a material of the flat plate portion to flow, in a press direction, into a thickened portion-forming section formed on the first opposing surface. The second opposing surface is moved to the press direction as the flat plate portion is pressed by the first press portion and the second press portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel, Ltd.)Inventors: Kazuki SAKAMOTO, Yasuhiro HAYASHIDA, Kenichi WATANABE, Junya NAITOU, Kensuke FUNADA, Takayuki KIMURA, Jiro IWAYA

Publication number: 20170136522Abstract: A method of processing a material by use of high kinetic energy comprises a piston driven from a start position by a hydraulic system pressure by a drive chamber, by only one stroke, to transfer high kinetic energy to a blank/tool to be processed, whereafter there is a risk that a rebound of the piston will occur, so a step is taken in connection with said stroke performed, to prevent said piston from making a rebound with an essential content of kinetic energy to avoid negative effects as a result, whereafter the piston is returned to said start position by means of a second chamber, wherein a valve means closes the driving connection between the system pressure and the piston, the valve means is controlled by a pilot valve controlling the entire striking progress, and the second chamber is pressurized with the system pressure during the entire striking progress.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Anders IVARSON, Erika HENRIKSSON, Alem BULJUBASIC
