Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Tiefziehmaschine (1) umfassend eine Formstation (2), die zum Formen von Behältern (14) in ein erstes bahnförmiges Material (8) konfiguriert ist und eine Schneidstation (4), die in einer Arbeitsrichtung (R) der Formstation (3) nachgeordnet und dazu eingerichtet ist, die bahnförmigen Materialien (8, 10) zwischen den Behältern (14) zu schneiden oder zu perforieren. Die erfindungsgemäße Tiefziehmaschine zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Schneidstation (4) eine Rotationsschneidvorrichtung (23) mit einem Schneidzylinder (24) und einem Gegenzylinder (25) aufweist. Die Erfindung bezieht sich darüber hinaus auf ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Tiefziehmaschine (1), das die folgenden Schritte umfasst: Formen von Behältern (14) in ein erstes bahnförmiges Material (8) durch eine Formstation (2). Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zeichnet sich durch Schneiden oder Perforieren der bahnförmigen Materialien (8, 10) zwischen den Behältern (14) nach dem Formen der Behälter (14) durch eine Rotationsschneidvorrichtung (23) aus.
Abstract:
A tool and a method for forming a container from a blank, the container including a flange. The tool comprises a first tool assembly (41) and a second tool assembly (43). At least one of the first tool assembly and the second tool assembly is moveable between an open position, wherein the blank is received between the first tool assembly and the second tool assembly, and a closed position wherein the blank is formed into the container. The first tool assembly and the second tool assembly comprise flange forming collars (59, 75, 77) for forming the flange of the container whereby a first portion of the flange is folded with respect to a second portion of the flange.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for working a strip (16) continuously supplied from a coil, using the same equipment (9) for roll bending, cutting and welding in a single combined machine, such that an end product of the required quality is efficiently produced.
Abstract:
A method for the manufacture of a vessel bottom with a flange includes the following steps: after heating of an ingot to a forming temperature, a preliminary forging (1) in shape of a circular plate having the height (H) and diameter (0) is made by free forging on a forging press; after the second heating to a forming temperature, the preliminary forging (1) is placed on a working plate (4) of a lower swage and the first male die (2) is pushed concentrically into the forging (1) to a depth necessary for the formation of a flattened segment (3); the flattened segment (3) is rotated by 180° and after its location on a machine tool a bellows (7) is formed by mechanical machining, which has in the centre a recess (X) and around the perimeter of the convex region (5) a recess (Y) having the radius (R); after heating, the bellows (7) is placed on a pre-prepared set of tools for the pressing via the convex part (5) upwards on a forming ring (8); the main male die (10) is pushed concentrically into the bellows (7) for pressing the bottom (11) by means of a reverse drawing, the bottom (11) being equipped with an external flange (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a shell muffler (1) for an internal combustion engine that is formed of a first shell (1.1) and at least one second shell (1.2), which shells are connected at their respective edge regions B s so as to form the shell muffler (1), each edge region B s having a box-like inner contour K Si , which has four corner regions (E1) - (E4) and a width (B) and a length (L), and an outer contour K Sa , and each shell (1.1), (1.2) being produced from a shell blank R, which is formed by deforming a sheet metal strip (2) using a deep drawing tool (3) having the shape of the shell (1.1, 1.2), the blank R, after deforming, having an edge region B R with an outer contour K R , said edge region being removed at least partially after the blank R has been cut to size so as to form the outer contour K Sa of the edge region B s of the shell (1.1, 1.2). In addition to the box-like basic shape G, the inner contour K Si of the edge region B s of the shell (1.1, 1.2) comprises at least one corner region (E1 - E4) which is expanded beyond the width B and the length L of the box-like basic shape (G) and is thus adapted at least partially to the contour K R of the edge region B R to be cut of the blank R.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of tanks from one or more metal plates using a friction stir welding process. The metal plate or plates is first formed into a tubular shape (4) with one pair of opposite edges (2, 3) facing one another to form a longitudinal joint line, the opposite edges (2, 3) then being friction stir welded together. At least a part of the friction stir welded region is cold worked and subsequently the tube is heat treated at a temperature above the recrystallisation temperature.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a circular metal tank, from an elongated sheet of metal. The upper and lower longitudinal edges of the metal sheet are bent to produce a first 'L' bend and a second 'chair' bend, respectively. The sheet of metal is moved in a helical trajectory such that the second bend comes into proximity above the first bend. The second bend and the first bend are welded together such that the wall of the cylindrical tank is formed. Welding of the bends serves to stress relieve or anneal the bent metal, thereby preventing cracks in the metal which may result in leaks and/or compromise the structural integrity of the tank. The first and second bends additionally cooperate to form a helical roller track on the outside of the tank. The tank is supported and rotated about its longitudinal axis on a plurality of rollers that engage the roller track.
