Abstract:
A method and a press are proposed for an energy-efficient drive of a press (1) with a bottom drive, in which a drive device (2) disposed in a bottom section (3), a plunger (1.1) executing a stroke (H) and receiving an upper tool part (1.2) with at least one acting tie rod (2.1.2) of a drive train (2.1) are provided and the upper tool part (2.1) corresponding to a bottom tool part (3.2) disposed in the bottom section (3) machines or forms a work piece (5). The drive device (2) is operated by at least one motor (2.1.1) and by way of a control and regulation device (4) connecting the motor (2.1.1) and the drive train (2.1). Each drive train (2.1) can be operated by its own motor (2.1.1). When using a drawing device with a holder (3.3.1), it is operated in the change and during at least a partial path of the respective stroke (H) by the drive train (2.1) while observing a shaft-type free space (3.2) provided in the bottom section (3) in a coupled or decoupled manner by a releasable rotatory or translational active connection.
Abstract:
The drawing press (10) according to the invention has for driving its ram (15) a directionally reversing gear mechanism (22, 54), for example a coupling gear mechanism, and at least one servomotor (23). The servomotor (23) passes through the reversal point (Ut) of the ram movement, which is predetermined by the kinematics of the coupling gear mechanism, for example the extended position of an eccentric drive. During the closing of the die (18), that is to say during a press stroke, the servomotor (23) is activated in such a way that it first passes through this reversal point (Ut), then stops, reverses and then passes through it once again, in order to open the die (18) again. Consequently, the braking to a standstill and re-acceleration of the servomotor for the upper ram (15) takes place while the actual drawing operation is still or already being performed, i.e. during the forming of the metal blank, which significantly reduces the cycle time.
Abstract:
A method of using data on the force flow in a press for the operation of a plunger, wherein the loads of the parts involved in the force flow can differ as a result of eccentrically operating forces, in such a way that the data about the respectively acting forces that, in accordance with Hooke's law, cause an extension or compression of a movement of the parts involved in the force flow, is measured and evaluated in relation to a drive device and a position of the plunger, whereupon a skewed position of the plunger is permitted or a skewed position of the plunger is counteracted or a skewed position of the plunger is set during operation of the press.
Abstract:
A PRESS UTILIZING THE PRESS STRUCTURE AND CONTROLS OF A METAL WORKING PRESS BUT WHICH IS ADAPTED FOR COMPRESSION MOLDING OF LARGE PLSTIC PARTS ON A PRODUCTION BASIS. MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR DRIVING THE PRESS SLIDE SLOWLY INTO BOTTOM DEAD CENTER (TO BE REFERRED TO HEREIN AS "DEAD CENTER") POSITION FOLLOWING RAPID DESCENT, FOR DEVELOPING A HIGH MOLDING FORCE, WHICH MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE NOMINAL RATING OF THE PRESS, AND FOR SUSTAINING THAT FORCE DURING CURING INTERVAL. PRESSURE IS REDUCED TO A LOWER LEVEL TO PERMIT REESTABLISHMENT OF LUBRICATION AT THE PRESS BEARINGS PRIOR TO MOVING THE SLIDE OUT OF ITS DEAD CENTER POSITION FOR COMPLETION OF THE CYCLE. THE HYDRAULIC OVERLOAD RELEASE DEVICE CONVENTIONALLY USED IN ESPECIALLY CONTROLLED TO ENABLE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH MOLDING PRESSURE. IN ONE EMBODIMENT MOLDING PRESSURE IS DEVELOPED BY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE SLIDE INTO ITS DEAD CENTER POSTION. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT THE OVERLOAD DEVICE IS DEPRESSURIZED SO THAT FINAL MOVEMENT OF THE SLIDE INTO DEAD CENTER OCCURS WIITH ONLY LIGHT LOADING, FOLLOWING WHICH THE REQUISITE PRESSURE IS DEVELOPED BY PUMPING UP THE HYDRAULIC OVERLOAD RELEASE WITH THE SLIDE STATIONARY. IN BOTH CASES MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR BLEADING FLUID FROM THE OVERLOAD RELEASE MECHANISM TO RELEASE THE PRESSURE ON THE SLIDE BEFORE THE SLIDE BEGINS TO MOVE OUT OF DEAD CENTER.
Abstract:
A method for operating a machine tool/work machine includes providing a machine tool/work tool including a stroke element, a connection arrangement including a traction/pressure element and at least one traction/pressure point, a detachable connection including a connection element, a compensation element or a unit which generate a pre-stress, a (cutting) impact dampening, and compensates for a weight of the stroke element in the connection arrangement. The drive device acts on a work piece to be machined via the connection arrangement with the traction/pressure element and the at least one traction/pressure point via the stroke element. A force is produced via the compensation element or a unit corresponding to a weight of the traction/pressure element, the force being initiated independently from a drive force for the stroke element, to generate a pre-stress, a (cutting) impact dampening and a compensation of the weight of the stroke element in the connection arrangement.
