A bending apparatus for manufacturing a bent member from a steel pipe with high dimensional accuracy and high productivity can be installed in a small space with good maintainability. The apparatus has a feed mechanism for feeding a steel pipe in its lengthwise direction, a first support mechanism for supporting the steel pipe while feeding it, a heating mechanism for heating a part or all of the steel pipe being fed, a cooling mechanism for cooling the portion of the heated steel pipe being fed, a second support mechanism for imparting a bending moment to the heated portion of the steel pipe to bend the steel pipe into a desired shape by moving two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally while supporting the fed steel pipe in at least one location, and a deformation preventing mechanism for preventing deformation of the steel pipe. The feed mechanism is a vertically articulated robot having seven axes.

A front side member having a single body formed from a tubular body having a closed cross section has a front portion which extends in the fore and aft direction of a vehicle body, a sloping portion which is continuous with the front portion and slopes downwards along a dash panel, and a rear portion continuous with the sloping portion and extending along the bottom surface of a floor panel joined to the dash panel. A portion of the front portion is an unquenched portion which has not undergone quenching treatment and the remainder is a high frequency quenched portion which has undergone high frequency quenching. The sloping portion is a high frequency quenched portion. A portion of the rear portion is an unquenched portion which has not undergone quenching and the remainder other than that portion is a high frequency quenched portion which has undergone high frequency quenching.
摘要:
A manufacturing method for a bent product which can guarantee a high working accuracy and which can provide a large bending angle without damage to the surface condition of a metal material even when a widely varying bent shape is desired or when it is necessary to perform bending of a high strength metal material.A bent product having a three-dimensionally bent portion intermittently or continuously in the lengthwise direction is manufactured by supporting a steel pipe 1 at a first position A while feeding it in the lengthwise direction, locally heating the steel pipe 1 being fed at a second position B, cooling the heated portion of the steel pipe 1 at a third position C, and varying the position of a gripping means 15, which grips the steel pipe 1 in a region D downstream of the third position C, in a three-dimensional direction including the feed direction of the steel pipe 1 in a workspace including a space on the upstream side of the third position C in the feed direction of the steel pipe 1 to impart a bending moment to the heated portion of the is steel pipe 1.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for three-dimensionally bending a metal material are provided. A product intermittently having a bent portion which curves three-dimensionally and a quenched portion is manufactured by a bending method which performs bending downstream of a support means while feeding a metal material which is supported by the support means from an upstream side towards a downstream side. A portion of the metal material is heated by a heating means for the metal material downstream of the support means, a bending moment is imparted to the portion of the metal material which was heated by the heating means to carry out bending by three-dimensionally changing the position of a movable roller die which is disposed downstream of the heating means and has a plurality of rolls which feed the metal material which was heated by the heating means in the axial direction, and the metal material is quenched by spraying a cooling medium at the portion of the metal material which was heated by the heating means by a cooling means disposed between the heating means and the movable roller die. Errors in a product due to bending are suppressed by supporting a portion of the metal material which has exited from the movable roller die.
摘要:
A profile mother pipe for hydraulic bulging of the present invention has a peripheral length whose outer diameter is gradually increased or decreased from one end to the other end in an axial direction. In the profile mother pipe, a holding portion whose peripheral length is increased toward a pipe end face on one end side can be formed on at least one end side and a parallel portion can be formed on the other end side where the holding portion is not formed. In a working apparatus and method in which the profile mother pipe is used, pressing working can be performed from the pipe end toward the axial direction, even in use of the profile mother pipe whose sectional shape is largely varied in the axial direction. Therefore, an expansion ratio larger than ever before can be obtained in a hydraulic bulged product to which hydraulic bulging is performed.
