Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus and a method for separating and counting a number of uniform bars (2), such as round reinforcement bars, from a bundle (1) with an undetermined number of bars (2), with a separating unit (7) for taking out a number of bars (2) from the bundle (1) of bars, and a counting unit (14) interacting with the separating unit (7) and providing a counting plane (13) upon which the separated bars (12) are disposed. At the separating unit (7) is provided a slot (9) with two opposite sidewalls (10) with a mutual spacing (11), which is adapted such that the bars (12) may only be inserted side by side in one layer in the slot (9). The counting unit (14) is integrated with the separating tool (8), as the slot (9) provides the counting plane (13) and serves to retain the bars (12) in one layer during the counting operation. The counting is effected by means of mandrels (22, 23), providing a very precise mechanical identification of the separated bars ( 12).
Abstract:
Feeder device (10) and method for feeding bars to a machine, for picking up and removing from a bundle at least one bar (11), to prepare it for use in a working machine comprising a drawing assembly (27) . The device (10) comprises a first magnetic assembly (13) for separating from the bundle at least an end segment of a plurality of bars (11) and to dispose at least the end segments of the plurality of bars (11) on a plane distanced with respect to the bundle, and a second magnetic assembly (21) for picking up from the first magnetic assembly (13) one bar (11) at a time from the plurality of bars (11) and to unload the bar (11) in a desired release position. The device (10) comprises an accumulation assembly (60) for receiving in sequence from the second magnetic assembly (21) a desired number of bars (11) so as to form a store, and to transfer the desired number of bars (11) simultaneously to the drawing assembly (27) .
Abstract:
The method for the automatic feeding of metal section bars provides for seizing a group of metal section bars (2) from a store (3) by means of gripping tools (11) and for transferring the said group of metal section bars (2) in a lifted position. The metal section bars (2) are arranged on a transfer device (20) suited to transfer the metal section bars (2) on receiving means (30). In a suitable phase relationship, the counting of the metal section bars (2) transferred on the said receiving means (30) is carried out. Such operating cycle is repeated until a prefixed number of metal section bars (2) is reached. The whole of the metal section bars (2) is disentangled through the progressive sliding of the receiving means (30) along the longitudinal axis of the metal section bars (2).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur lagegerechten Positionierung, von Platinen (2), vorzugsweise zur Verarbeitung in Umformpressen, und besteht darin, dass eine notwendige Lagekorrektur der Platinen in bis zu drei Freiheitsgraden mittels Direktantrieben (6) erfolgt, wobei in einer ersten Ausgestaltung mindestens ein Zwei-Koordinaten-Planarantrieb (3) so einsetzbar ist, dass der in der Ebene zweidimensional operierende Planarmotor eine Lagekorrektur des Aufnahmeelementes der Platine jeweils in X- und Y-Richtung bewirkt. Bei Verwendung von zwei Planarmotoren kann das mit diesen wirkverbundene Aufnahmeelement zusätzlich für den dritten Freiheitsgrad um die Z-Achse gedreht werden.
Abstract:
Battery cans (1 - 8) are produced in a continuous in-line operation from a group of drawing press (16, 18, 20, 22) tools. The streams of parts from each tool are merged (36, 38, 80) into an ordered stream (40, 42) of parts without losing their identity as to the tool that produced them. The parts are automatically inspected (44) and if parts from a particular tool are defective, the other parts from that tool are ejected (120, 130) from the line without ceasing operation of the stream of parts from the remaining tools. The operation continues through packing (76, 138) the parts in containers (144) identified with the tool source of the respective parts.
Abstract:
A first hemming mold unit (20) and a second hemming mold unit (30), are installed in a single pressing machine. The first hemming mold unit (20) performs partial bending of an edge (95) of a workpiece (93; 96). The workpiece (93; 96), having undergone the partial bending, is transferred to the second hemming mold unit (30). the second hemming mold unit (30) performs remaining necessary bending of the edge of the workpiece (93; 96). Here, predetermined bending of the edge (95) of the workpiece (93; 96) can be completed within the single pressing machine only by downward movement of upper molds (24, 34) of the first and second hemming mold units (20, 30), without having to use a cam and cam driver.

Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a method for forming sheet metal strip, such as roofing sheets, in which the sheet strip (1) is moved forward and formed into undulated metal sheets by means of machine tools (2). The tooling (2) used in the method according to the invention consists of one or more presses (2) which are fitted with undulated pressing dies. The sheet metal strip (1) is gripped in place with the second press (3) and, when secured, the first press (22) is drawn along the length of the sheet metal strip and forms, by means of the press, an undulated profile (4) in the sheet metal strip.
