Publication number: 20180297107Abstract: The disclosure relates to a machining system for aircraft structural components, comprising a first frame for mounting a workpiece, and a second frame for mounting a tool pair including an upper tool and a lower tool cooperating therewith. The workpiece is positioned between the upper tool and the lower tool. The second frame is formed to be displaceable at least in a longitudinal direction with respect to a base. The tool pair is held in the second frame such that it is displaceable in a transverse direction which is at an angle to the longitudinal direction. The second frame is held on at least one swivel bearing so that the second frame can be adjustably swiveled together with the tool pair about a swivel axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2016Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventor: Christian Meiners

Publication number: 20180297108Abstract: In a method for producing a ring-shaped formed part, by means of a forming device first of all a ring of smaller cross-sectional dimensions than the formed part being produced is formed from a blank in various forming stages. The ring is then expanded to the cross-sectional dimensions of the formed part being produced. The expansion of the ring is effected in an expansion stage of the forming device by means of a die and an expansion punch, where the ring is arranged in the die and the expansion punch is pressed into the ring in the axial direction and thereby expands the ring. The expansion of the ring is effected in two or more steps. In that way, excessive material stresses and any resulting material damage can be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2016Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Andreas MATT, Patrick STEMMELIN, Olivier RITTER

Publication number: 20180297110Abstract: A die-casting piston having a receiving unit attachable to a piston rod, which includes a cooling device and a connecting device for the piston rod. A hollow cylindrical carrier body of a cup-shaped design has a melt-side end face, on whose lateral surface at least one hollow cylindrical sliding body is mountable. An end ring is disposed between the end face of the carrier body and an end face of the sliding body, which is used as a front-end first holding element for the at least one hollow cylindrical sliding body. The carrier body is axially mountable on the receiving unit, extending over the cooling device, and may be locked to the receiving unit and released again with the aid of a connecting device, the connecting device being disposed axially downstream from the sliding body on the side facing away from the end face of the carrier body, and the connecting device being a bayonet joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: Wieland-Werke AGInventors: Gabriel VIDA, Gerhard KANZOK

Publication number: 20180297111Abstract: A ladle shroud is fixed to a coupling device for reversibly coupling an inlet orifice of said ladle shroud to a collector nozzle fixed to the outside of a bottom floor of a ladle in a metal casting installation, by means of at least a first and second elongated latch pivotally mounted on a hinge, such that the latch can pivot from a fixing position to an idle position. The idle position of the latches allows the engagement of the ladle shroud into its casting configuration about the collector nozzle, and the fixing position of the latches engages catches provided on said latches into matching fasteners located on the gate frame holding the collector nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: VESUVIUS GROUP S.A.Inventor: Mariano Collura

Publication number: 20180297112Abstract: A bonding composition which can give high bonding strength by a relatively low bonding temperature, and at the same time, can inhibit the formation of the fillet while maintaining the sufficient spreading over the interface to be bonded, is provided. The present invention is related to a bonding composition comprising inorganic particles as a primary component and an organic component as a secondary component, wherein a viscosity of the composition decreases upon a rise in temperature, and the inorganic particles are sintered to each other following the decrease in viscosity. It is preferred that the viscosity at around 25° C. of the bonding composition is 10 to 50 Pa·s at a shear of 10 s?1.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2016Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: BANDO CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventor: Naoya NAKAJIMA

Publication number: 20180297113Abstract: A camera assembly is employed in additive manufacturing to improve the fidelity of a printed object. The camera may scan the surface of a build plate of a 3D printer and an object as it is being printed to generate image data. The image data is processed to detect errors in the build plate or printed object. The printer compensates for the detected errors, which can including modifying the printer configuration and/or modifying the instructions for printing a given object. Using the updated configuration, subsequent objects may then be printed, under a corrected process, to produce an object with fidelity to an original object model.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Aaron Preston, Nicholas Mykulowycz

Publication number: 20180297115Abstract: A method for additively manufacturing a component is provided. The method may include forming a surface on the top layer of the component, scanning the surface of the top layer of the component to determine if a defect is present in the surface, and if detected, correcting the defect within the surface. Scanning the surface of the top layer of the component to determine if a defect is present in the surface may be performed by obtaining data indicative of the surface of the top layer of the component by interrogating the surface of the top layer of the component with a scanning device, and comparing the data with a reference database to determine if an irregularity is present.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: David Scott Diwinsky, Herbert Chidsey Roberts
