A forming machine (10) is disclosed as including a rotary drive mechanism (30) that provides accurate control of the degree to which forming is performed. The drive mechanism (30) includes a pair of drive members (34) mounted for movement with a pair of elongated dies that are preferably embodied as die racks (22,24) mounted on lower and upper bases (12,14) of the machine (10). A toothed drive gear (32) is meshed with drive teeth (52) on each of the drive members (34) and is rotatably driven by a drive spindle to thereby move the drive members (34) and hence the dies (22,24) in order to form a workpiece mounted between the dies (22,24). The drive mechanism (30) has particular utility in a machine for forming a thin-walled annular sleeve of a workpiece mounted on a toothed mandrel (38) between the dies (22,24). An automatic loader (40) is preferably utilized to mount the workpiece on the mandrel (38) such that movement of the dies (22,24) engages the die and mandrel teeth (124) with the workpiece sleeve therebetween in order to provide the forming.

A loader (10) for a gear burnishing machine includes a gear carrier (144) and a guide embodied by a rack (122) for cooperating to move a gear to be burnished into meshing relationship with a gear rack of the burnishing machine. A hopper (22) including a feed mechanism provides feeding of the gears to the carrier (144). Carrier movement moves the gears from the hopper to the machine as the guide rack (122) aligns the gear teeth for meshing with the gear rack teeth. A retaining shaft of the carrier (144) captures the gears between spaced retainers of the carrier (144) as the gears move to the machine for burnishing. A retaining member (66) and a movable dog (84) of the feed mechanism cooperate in feeding gears tothe carrier (144). After burnishing, an actuator including a pusher (204) moves the burnished gear off the guide (122) to a delivery unit (14) including an inclined ramp (198).
摘要:
A method and apparatus (12) for cold sizing a round workpiece (14) having round surfaces of cylindrical shapes that are coaxial about a central axis A of the workpiece and have different diameters. A support (54,55) rotatably mounts the workpiece (14) about its central axis A between a pair of die assemblies (24a, 24b) which are spaced from each other. Each die assembly (24a,24b) includes a plurality of dies (56,58,60,62) that are respectively aligned with the round surfaces (46,48,50,52) of the workpiece (14). Movement of the die assemblies in opposite directions as each other engages sizing surfaces (66,68,70,72) of the dies with the aligned round surfaces of the workpiece to pressure size the workpiece surfaces. In one embodiment of the sizing apparatus (12), the dies assemblies (24a, 24b) have elongated shapes and are moved rectilinearly in a parallel relationship to each other to perform the sizing. Another rotary embodiment of the sizing apparatus (12ʹ) includes rotary die assemblies (24aʹ,24bʹ) mounted by associated spindles (85) whose rotation likewise pressure sizes the round workpiece surfaces. Both embodiments of the sizing apparatus are disclosed as including forming projections for forming projections for forming projections such as splines (82) and/or a helical thread (84) on the sized surfaces of the workpiece.

A forming machine (10) disclosed has an improved drive mechanism (28) for driving a pair of slides (20, 22) mounted on upper and lower bases (12, 14) so as to provide forming of a workpiece for forming racks (24, 26) mounted on the slides. Upper and lower hydraulic motors (30, 32) respectively drive the pair of slides whose movement is coordinated by a rotatable synchronizing gear (48) and upper and lower synchronizing racks (50, 52). The synchronizing gear (48) is mounted by a connecting portion of the machine between the slides and is meshed with the synchronizing racks (50, 52) which are mounted on the slides by wedge adjusters (53) to adjust backlash of the synchronizing racks with the synchronizing gear. Both rotary and linear hydraulic motors for driving the slides are disclosed. A pair of tie rod connections (150) preferably extend between the upper and lower bases to control deflection therebetween during the workpiece forming. Each tie rod connection (150) includes a sleeve (152) that is compressed and a tie rod (162) that extends through the sleeve and is tensioned in a preloaded manner to provide the prevention of deflection between the bases.
