摘要:
A press and a process for operating it, has an upper tool and a lower tool for shaping a workpiece and a work unit including a press drive and/or a drawing device, is controllable by a controller, to perform the shaping process. The controller outputs, to the work unit, press process values, which define the sequence of events of the shaping process. Workpiece parameters characterize, for example, the material and/or the shape and/or at least one dimension and/or quality of the workpiece, which still has to be shaped or has already been shaped. The controller is assigned a composition matrix which contains, for each defined workpiece parameter and for each defined press process value, an individually changeable function, to describe the relationship between every one of the defined workpiece parameters and the defined press process values. This composition matrix allows a quick and rapid adjustment and adaptation of the press.

The invention resides in a hydraulic cylinder (23) for a hydraulic drawing cushion (20) of a drawing press (10). The hydraulic cylinder (23) includes a first operating chamber (47), a second operating chamber (48), and a third operating chamber (53). An annular piston (45) with a first piston surface area (49) and a second piston surface area (50) separates the first operating chamber (47) from the second operating chamber (48). The first and the second piston surfaces (49, 50) have the same size. A front surface of the piston rod (33) forms a third piston surface (54) which is larger than the first and second piston surfaces. The third piston surface (54) delimits the third operating chamber (53) of the hydraulic cylinder (23). The first and the second operating chambers (47, 48) are provided for controlling the position and/or the movement of the piston rod (33). The third operating chamber (53) serves to control the metal sheet clamping force of the drawing press via the piston rod (33).

A die includes a stationary die, a movable die, which is opposed to the stationary die and reciprocatable in a first direction to change a distance between the stationary and movable dies, and a transfer mechanism, which transfers a workpiece, upon which plastic deformation work is performed between the stationary and movable dies, in a second direction crossing the first direction. The transfer mechanism includes a clamp portion, which clamps/unclamps the workpiece, a synchronizing member, which is engaged with the movable die to reciprocate in synchronization with reciprocation of the movable die, a clamp-unclamp operation converter, which converts reciprocation of the synchronizing member into clamping/unclamping of the workpiece by the clamp portion, and an advance-return operation converter, which converts reciprocation of the synchronizing member into advance-return operation of the clamp portion, whereby the clamp portion advances the workpiece in the second direction and is returned after advancement of the workpiece.

A can body making apparatus has an encoder that generates a signal representative of the angular position of the crankshaft. The signal is input to a controller that controller an feeding mechanism in phased timed relationship to the rotation of the crankshaft allowing greater control of the feeding mechanism.

The invention relates to a method for the iterative process optimization of drawing processes, occurring in timed sequence, in drawing presses. The clamping force which can be set at the blank holder is reduced in the case of fractures or increased in the case of part folding or maintained at the same level in the case of acceptable parts. In order to be able to detect the drawn part quality with respect to the criteria of "fractures", "acceptable" or "folding" automatically during each working cycle the normal variation of the drawing sound is determined by means of a sound emission analysis of the structure-borne sound caused by the drawn part during the drawing process in the drawing tool, and from this a characteristic level course from periodic to stochastic sound components is determined. During the production of the drawn parts, the structure-borne sound signal is examined in each case with regard to the simultaneous occurrence of abnormal amplitude discontinuities in a wide frequency spectrum and, if appropriate, it is concluded that there are "fractures". Furthermore, the structure-borne sound signal is examined in each case with regard to the temporal level course from periodic to stochastic sound components and, if appropriate, it is concluded that there are "folds".

Method for predicting post-buckling deformation of a sheet of metal during a draw forming process, for use with a computer including memory, by introducing a set of springs to stabilize the sheet metal close to the onset of buckling, thereby enhancing convergence of numerical solutions. The method is for use with sheet metal forming tools including a draw die, a punch and binder having surfaces designed to form the sheet metal into a part, the sheet metal being represented as a mesh including a plurality of nodes. The method includes applying a displacement increment to the sheet metal nodes and identifying a singularity in a tangent stiffness matrix associated with the sheet metal close to the onset of buckling. The method also includes introducing a plurality of springs at the sheet metal nodes so as to eliminate the singularity and enhance convergence of the numerical solution of the displacement increment.

A hydroelastic deep-drawing apparatus in presses for drawing sheet-metal shapes has a ram, a punch, a plurality of short-stroke cylinders, a plurality of drawing pins, a sheet-holder plate supported by the apparatus in relation to the plurality of short-stroke cylinders, a drawing die, a platen having a grid division thereon with a plurality of intersecting points, a plurality of hydraulic short-stroke pistons having multipoint control, each of the short-stroke pistons cooperating with a corresponding one of said plurality of short-stroke cylinders; a common die-cushion plate wherein the drawing pins are 1) arranged according to the geometry of said drawing-die at respective intersecting points of said grid division, and 2) supported on the common die-cushion plate via the short-stroke piston; and a position regulated and synchronous running differential cylinder/piston system which supports the die-cushion plate at its four outer corners. The plurality of short-stroke cylinders can be connected to create hydraulic force action zones according to the geometry of the sheet-holder plate or a workpiece and during the downward travel of the ram, starting at a predetermined coupling point, the die-cushion plate and the sheet-holder plate execute in the direction of the downward travel, a preliminary stroke while simultaneously maintaining a safety spacing between the ram and the sheet-holder plate. Additionally, subsequent to the preliminary stroke, the sheet-holder plate is raised a counterstroke distance relative to the die-cushion plate such that the workpiece is clamped in place; and subsequent to this, the ram executes a drawing operation relative to the punch during the completion of the downward travel of the ram. Thus, the impact shock to the workpiece is minimized.
