Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive system for a forming press for either increasing the output rate for a defined power or reducing the output rate for said power, the number and sequence of strokes, speed and force profiles being freely programmable. Another problem of the invention is to provide a very compact drive system which allows for a small height of the head piece for the drive of the press. A final problem of the invention is to allow for the adjustment of tilt of the ram for forming presses having a plurality of working points. The solution to these problems is to combine the advantages of hydraulic presses with regard to free programmability of path, speed and force profiles with that of mechanical presses with regard to increased output, rigidity and path-bound reproducibility of the lower point of regression. The invention is characterized in that one or more electric drives as servomotors are used in the form of a direct drive or in combination with a linear converter arranged downstream thereof and act upon a five-point knee lever in such a manner as to allow, in addition to free programmability of path, speed and force profiles, a flexible utilization of path and/or force-bound sequences of movement.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the control and regulation of position deviations of tappets in servoelectric presses. The aim of the invention is especially to influence the position deviations of a tappet during the passage through the lower reversal point in such a way that the depth of immersion and the tilting position of the tappet can be controlled or regulated.
Abstract:
A drive system of a forming press for driving the plunger with a crank mechanism controllable by a servomotor is refined in such a way that on the one hand a high pressure force is achievable with the available torques of servomotors and that on the other hand the technical complexity of the drive is reduced during the design of the drive with smultiple mechanically synchronized pressure points and also with pressure points that can each be controlled independently of one another. The concept of the method consists of transferring the torques of the servomotors that are required to achieve a high pressure force for the plunger by means of intermediate gearing, preferably with a double gear transmission, to the cam or crank mechanism, wherein the symmetrically configured drive arms of multipoint presses for the right and the left pressure points of two-point presses or the pressure point groups of four-point presses are optionally mechanically synchronized with one another in such a way that each of the intermediate gears of the first or of one of the first gear transmissions is effectively connected to the others.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling and adjusting forces on servo-electric presses comprising servoelectric tappet drives and/or die cushion drives and to a device for carrying out said method. The invention relates, in particular, to the use of the guiding wave functions for producing the part- and process-specific desired torque values and for producing the torque correction values based on various influence variables, together with temperature compensation of the torque factor in order to form the desired current value for the servo motors, for the translation-dependent torque calculation and/or a guiding wave-controlled functional unit for the acceleration-dependent first torque correction value and/or a guiding wave-controlled functional unit for the friction-dependent second torque correction value. In the devices, at least one current regulator, connected to a servo amplifier, receives the desired value of the control device which consists of a guiding wave-controlled desired value control device, guiding wave-controlled functional units and/or a functional unit for the temperature compensation of the torque factor and, according to control performance, a force control loop having a force or torque sensor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive system for a forming press. Each pressure point of the ram can be controlled with a separate force and position regulation and the system permits a freely programmable size and sequence of the length of strokes, in addition to flexible speed and force profiles. The aim of the invention is to minimise energy consumption from the supply network, cycle-dependent load fluctuations and effects on the network, without resorting to additional energy accumulators. For forming presses comprising several pressure points, the invention aims to provide an option for controlling the tilt of the ram. To achieve this, the invention combines the advantages of hydraulic presses in terms of a freely programmable length of stroke, speed and force profiles with those of mechanical presses in terms of increased productivity, rigidity and reproducibility of the lower reversal point, dependent on the length of stroke. One or more electric drives that function as servo motors act on a crankshaft drive to permit a flexible utilisation of length of stroke-dependent and/or force-dependent displacements in addition to freely programmable length of stroke, speed and force profiles.
