The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is the isometric view of cutting punch die 10.Cutting punch die 10 is equipped with and is used in the cutter 12 that the one side contains the band formation of cutting edge 14.Make cutter 12 bend to the reservation shape or the die cavity of the sealing of determining by the point of a knife of cutting edge 14 with various angles.Cutter 12 is generally made with steel.Cutting edge 14 can have so various dissimilar bevel, so that the point of a knife of cutting edge 14 can be on center, side of deflection or an edge at cutter 12 of cutter 12 thickness.Cutter 12 can have the perforation in its side; At cutting edge 14 outsides folding otch rag, perhaps, decide with purposes at the notch cut channel of non-blade port outside.
Punch die 10 also has the multi-purpose tie rod 16 of being fit to.Decide with purposes, these purposes can comprise in following one or more multinomial: (i) support cutter 12 or help to keep the punch die shape; (ii) exerting all one's strength is distributed to the base plate (not shown) from punch die 10 and (iii) is provided for punch die is installed in device on the base plate, and (iv) is provided for being installed in device on the punch die 10 resembling slitter, perforator, stamp or long and thin cutter and so on part.
Continue to consult Fig. 1, generally tie rod 16 is placed in the zone that is subjected to cutter 12 constraint in order to avoid disturb mutually with the punch die of any adjacency on being installed in same base plate.Tie rod 16 is generally made with steel and is welded mutually with other tie rods 16 or cutter 12 at its end face.Tie rod can be cut from band (being also referred to as raw material), its end face is cut into the inner surface of cutter 12 or it is mounted to any other surface of using in welding or other fixing means desired permissible variation scopes be complementary.Install to such an extent that fit in the seamless situation wanting to make punch die 10 with the base plate surface, with regard to shown in punch die 10 with regard to, make the fit seamless installation and comprise and be used to put into the eyelet 18 that resembles screw and so on fastenings of the tie rod 16 and the non-blade port of cutter 12, so that punch die 10 is fixed on the base plate.For other kind punch dies, tie rod can be placed on the different positions.For example, for being embedded to punch die in the base plate to cutter 12, when pounding cutter 12 in the base plate, can be placed on tie rod 16 on the point of a knife in the middle of two blades of cutter so that contact base plate or remain on above the base plate.Cutter 12 also can have indentation 20, is also referred to as the mark indentation, and indentation 20 for example is used for constituting collimating marks or fold indication in the material that punch die 10 will cut.Indentation 20 can only partly stretch into cutter 12 as shown or can extend to the non-blade port of cutter 12.If indentation 20 extends through the plane of tie rod 16, then tie rod 16 may make the tracing wheel profile disconnect, and avoids indentation 20 otherwise can adjust to the position of tie rod 16.
Fig. 2 A represents the plane of selected different shape punch die 10 to 2F.As shown in the figure, tie rod can have various structural forms and location.For example, the punch die 10a of Fig. 2 A is included in the tie rod 16a that extends between the surface, inside of cutter 12a.Can call the edge tie rod to expression near the left surface of punch die 10a or the tie rod 16a ' of right flank.Can " call internal bracing to other tie rods 16a.Can for example be fixed by welding in the tie rod 16P that can call support braces between other tie rods 16.Can for example be fixed by welding in other tie rods 16b that can call the connector drawstring between the surface, inside and tie rod 16a of cutter 12a.Punch die 10b among Fig. 2 B comprises one group of tie rod 16c and not parallel with tie rod 16c additional tie rod 16d and 16e of extension parallel to each other.Punch die 10c among Fig. 2 c comprises one group of tie rod 16f and the additional tie rod 16g that supports cutter 12c, and tie rod 16g can be called the lateral tie of support perforator 22.Except that perforator 22, lateral tie 16g can be fixed on the position relevant with cutter 12 resembling slitter, stamp or long and thin cutter and so on part.Can be installed to tie rod 16 to perforator 22 or other parts by the various devices that comprise welding, resemble the screw, clip or the compressing tablet that are assembled in tie rod 16 perforations and so on clamp structure.Many tie rod 16 can be used for supporting big perforator or other parts.Lateral tie 16g can be only for the discrete tie rod that perforator or other parts provide being set or can being the tie rod 16 that is provided with for subsidiary other purposes of carrying out lateral tie 16g function.
Punch die 10 described in Fig. 2 A-C and tie rod 16 are the features with most of punch die 10.Yet, the punch die 10 of unique shape appears often, and tie rod can to make the punch die 10 of unique shape firm be the reason that its unique shape produces.For example, the punch die 10d among Fig. 2 d has one group of tie rod 16h being parallel to a direction and second group of tie rod 16i of parallel another direction.Each adapts two directions with the shape of a part of punch die 10d.Though the direction that is in some other angle can be arranged some other punch die but two directions are normally orthogonal in punch die 10d.Punch die 10e among Fig. 2 E is equipped with one group of tie rod 16j ' that separates each other with constant blank spacing at double and the tie rod 16j that separates each other with different spacing ".Make and still do not need the interior corners 22 of cutting in the cutter 12f in tie rod 16j " position adjustments become the be supported on 16j " side.Tie rod 16K also can increase the peninsula part of reinforcing in the punch die 10e.Punch die 10f among Fig. 2 F is equipped with in the formation of cutter 12g the inside and resembles rectangle and so on close-shaped tie rod 16m and 16l, and they all can be called the edge tie rod.Tie rod or connector tape 16n extend to cutter 12g from tie rod 161.But tie rod 16l also extends to cutter 12g can select only to extend to edge, tie rod 16m outside.Under such situation, can add the connector tape and replace prolongation invalid among the tie rod 16l, and form or on the position identical, be connected or on some other position, be connected with cutter 12g with cutter 12g with the invalid prolongation of tie rod 16l.Can increase extra connector tape 160.Employed tie rod schematic diagram generally can be described as in Fig. 2 F has one group of close-shaped tie rod of in punch die 10f formation 16 and one group of connector tie rod 16n extending to cutter 12g, 160 and the prolongation of 16l is arranged.
Also can occur punch die 10 in practice, can select the tie rod 16 that combination or application as one or more sketch in these sketches are described for constituting reinforcing rib except Fig. 2 A shape up to the shape shown in the 2F.
Fig. 3 represents to be used for making according to the specific embodiment of the invention system 30 of tie rod.This system comprises any data processor applicatory, for example carries out the computer 31 from the instruction of the tie rod program 32 (being discussed in more detail below) of packing into thereon.Resemble keyboard 34a and driver 34b and so on input unit, perhaps some other input unit can feed to computer input file 33 and selectively import the usefulness of tie rod parameter.For example contain and relevantly will cut the output file 35 of one or more tie rod shape informations, can selectively communicate by letter with the tie rod maker 38 (also being referred to as equipment) of following detailed description description from computer 31 via any suitable communication network 36.Tie rod maker 38 receives output file, reads output file and one or more tie rods 16 of cutting of determining to cut one or more tie rod 16 shapes.In other words, can select output file to be outputed to printer or plotter 39 from computer 31 by communication network 36.Printer or plotter 39 are read output file and are produced explanation and will cut the pattern of one or more tie rod 16 shapes.Printer or plotter 39 also can produce explanation tie rod 16 and be equipped with the pattern that helps punch die 10 later assemblings at punch die 10 metas that will reinforce.
Consult Fig. 1,3 now, particularly consult Fig. 4, will describe computer 31 operations of operation tie rod program 32.
Operation beginning when step 40, input file 33 is loaded into tie rod program 32 in step 40.Input file 33 comprises about reinforcing the information of punch die 10 shapes.For the input file 33 of packing into, the user for example can browse on driver 34b in the whole text and one or more file from existing file is selected a file, perhaps drafts the file that will pack in addition.Input file 33 can be equivalent to make or the clause of production run and can contain in a large number information at the vpg connection of different punch dies.
Agreement can comprise and be used in the DXF file formulating or the rule of format information.For example, the tie rod program can require to make all data relevant with punch die 10 shapes to put on and the different group code coding of group code numbering of any other information hereof.So just make the tie rod program can from other punch dies 10 or title branch, explain relevant information or other information in file and identify and isolate and punch die 10 shape relevant informations.At AutoCAb
TMIn interior some files of formulating, the above is to put into the BLOCK that is surrounded by BLOCK......ENDBLK by the handle information relevant with the punch die shape to realize.As long as each punch die is included in its own branch, then in input file, just can comprise a plurality of punch dies, and make the operator can select interested punch die 10 if desired, then make ENTITIES partly can show all shapes.Agreement also comprises the rule about scale that will use and unit, and for example scale can be 1: 1, and all units can be inches.Agreement also can comprise the rule of forbidding the unapprehended any kind shape description of tie rod program, and the tie rod program can comprise for example ARC in AutoCAR or POLYLINE function.In other words, for fear of need and revising tie rod program 32 to some versions of these versions in the agreement or all versions addressing.For example, in order to read ARC or POLYLINE function and to make them be transformed into a string line segment and can revise tie rod program 32.
In order in carrying out various functions, also to comprise other rules in auxiliary tie rod program 32 agreements.For example, rule can relate to about the message structure of punch die in the branch layer.For example, can be when putting into discrete layers about the information of perforator address or other internal features of punch die, the point of a knife of the basic configuration of punch die 10 or its cutting edge 14 can be included in on one deck.This just makes tie rod program 32 can find out the needed information of some step and isolate needed information from other information that are equipped with in the complete file that is used for punch die 10.In other words, in order to answer the version that in agreement, addresses or to establish for the version that addresses in the agreement and can revise the tie rod program along separate routes so that can simplify agreement.For example, browse input file 33 and identification punch die parameter and institute and find feature in the punch die parameter, to such an extent as to do not need information is arranged on as described above branch or the interior routine of layer and can revises the tie rod program in order to comprise to resemble.
In step 42, conversion input file 33 in needs.Though step 42 is expressed as a part of tie rod program 32, discrete program also can be used for or carry out conversion before file is input to tie rod program 32 or in the time of the file that receives from the output of tie rod program.Also can be included in selection to step 42 not from user input or not under the situation of user report automatically in one or more routine the tie rod program 32 of operation.Further, step 42 can be divided into step by step various or by on subroutine other appropriate locations in whole process of one or more discrete program or tie rod program 32 or the conversion of carrying out on the distributed locations in whole process.
Step 42 can comprise the input file operation that produces according to agreement.For example, step 42 can be included in the input file information that moves between branch, so that all information of relevant punch die 10 shapes are put into the special-purpose branch that is used for each punch die 10.Resemble the non-support shape information of POLYLINE and so on and can be transformed into a series of line segments.
Step 42 also can comprise simplifies that tie rod program 32 replaces Extended Protocols or the certain operations of the work of other operations of requiring later in whole process.For example, indentation 20 can be included in punch die 10 shapes but the plane by tie rod 16 not.Therefore, do not need to remove indentation 20 for the cutting tie rod.Step 32 does not require in agreement to formulate input file but can comprise with the indentation of deletion and browses input file that is used for indentation 20 and the conversion routine that replaces indentation 20 with line segment.In order to make indentation 20 location, indentation moves routine in technology is wanted scope or be similar to the shape search of specification requirement, and indentation moves routine and can be imported or be included in the pre-configured file that is used for indentation 20 shapes by the user.Conversion routine or program also can be calculated the input file of the shape information relevant with cutting edge 14 points of a knife, in general come to this.Because cutting edge 14 points of a knife may depart from cutter 12 sides and can touch tie rod 16, therefore must estimate this skew.In punch die 10, be equipped with under the occasion of the perforator that supports with tie rod 16 or other parts similarly skew takes place.For example, can in step 42, calculate the skew relevant by the inside dimension that increases as skew requires with these inner bodies.Optional is, can be after the shape of determining tie rod some functions in the execution in step 42.For example, can calculate between annular cutter 12 sides and cutting edge 14 blade tips and be offset by regulate the tie rod shape later in definite tie rod shape.
In step 44, select the punch die 10 that to reinforce from input file.For example, by browsed punch dies 10 that all punch dies 10 show and select to want, by from the alphanumeric sign table that is equivalent to punch die 10, selecting, perhaps the BLOCK numbering of the punch die 10 that is used to want by other demonstration can be selected special-purpose punch die 10.Can on screen, show selected punch die 10 then and can ask that the user confirms to select still to elect in addition.In case for tie rod has been selected special-purpose punch die 10, initialization routine is just removed any former shape information and can be removed suitable parameter or make suitable parameter reset to default numerical value.For by the more convenient access of other routines in the tie rod program, duplicate the branch of the selected punch die of representative from input file.Also can copy to document location in the tie rod program to the name that is used for punch die 10 or sign.
In step 46, import the parameter relevant with the position with the quantity of tie rod 16.After selecting punch die 10, can import these tie rod parameters by the keyboard 34a of user by quick response.By some other method, for example be included in the total input file that extracts by tie rod program 32 by the input parameter file or parameter.Other times execution in step 46 that also can be during the course, for example, before the dress input file.The tie rod parameter can be to guarantee that tie rod is with suitable and be enough to satisfy prefabricated the fixing then that the intended purpose of punch die 10 designs.For the purposes of various ranks or type punch die 10 can be determined some tie rod parameter group in advance.Determine this rank or type punch die 10 can with the material that whether has perforator or other internal features and them to locate, install the specification requirement of punch die 10 wherein, in punch die 10, use at punch die 10 geometries, or the situation of some other factor under will use the punching press type of punch die 10 to decide.Thereby for the difformity punch dies 10 that will use in more similar application, these parameters may be summarized to be produces the qualified needed specification requirement of tie rod 16 systems.In other words, for example, to have under the occasion that similar techniques requires at most of or all punch dies 10 that will reinforce, can determine that a tie rod parameter is singly organized and be embodied in the tie rod program so that step 46 becomes part work in the tie rod program that the user can't discover.Furtherly, the tie rod program can be applicable to and reexamine punch die 10 and determine suitable attaching bar parameter according to the tie rod parameter of one group of input in the past or programming or by calculating or by selection.
The tie rod parameter group is considered the needs that are used for determining the method for tie rod shape and position is selected.For the following method that will describe, the tie rod parameter as described below.
| The tie rod parameter | Describe |
| The tie rod width | Material width with cut tie rod |
| Begin the tie rod central point from the edge | Edge tie rod center line is to the vertical range at punch die edge |
| Edge tie rod extra support length | The edge tie rod external margin maximum length that when the edge tie rod is positioned at from the initial tie rod central point of Edge Distance, is allowed |
| When over-expense support parameter from the edge initial tie rod center | If surpass the vertical range that edge tie rod extra support length then will adopt from edge tie rod center line to the punch die edge |
| Minimum tie rod spacing | Minimum spacing between the center line of neighboring edge tie rod or adjacent inner tie rod |
| Maximum tie rod spacing | Maximum spacing between the center line of neighboring edge tie rod or adjacent inner tie rod |
| The internal bracing bearing length | Be used for the length of tie rod internal edge, if surpass, then expression needs extra support to reinforce |
| Tie rod installing hole diameter | If the installing hole diameter that is used for tie rod suitable for some skews of the device that is calculated control when adjusting, then will cut installing hole |
| Tie rod is installed the isolated edge distance | Be used for determining the distance of some installing hole central points from the tie rod edge |
Some other parameter also may be that tie rod program 32 is desired, and can import with the same time of step 46 or at other appropriate times.For example, directly or by the material type that is used for cutter 12 being listed in inventory and being equipped with to key in some parameters of representing cutting edge 14 points of a knife that cutter 12 sides are offset to the program reference table (PRT) of different materials skew.Also can key in some parameters of representing cut point and skew of perforator side or punch die internal feature with similar method.If indentation 20 will can be keyed in some parameters of representing indentation 20 shapes so by tie rod procedure identification and removing.The indentation parameter can comprise form indentation 20 some lines wherein the minimum length, indentation 20 of lines along the maximum length of punch die periphery, the minimum angles that between first side of indentation 20 and adjacent punch die 10 parts, forms or the minimum angle of indentation 20.Some other parameter also can be used for the other feature of some other step.For example, if tie rod program 32 can detect and revise the discontinuity in punch die 10 is shaped, then, adjacent not connection line segment can accurately measure radius for being searched for.Another parameter need can indicate whether some eyelets.Various parameters can at a time all be keyed in or can import some parameters in a plurality of moment that are dispersed in whole total process.
In step 48, determine the quantity and the position of tie rod.Step 48 can be divided into shown in Figure 5 each step by step.
Consulting Fig. 1,3 and 5 now, is that some discontinuities in the punch die parameter are verified punch die 10 when step 50.If detect some discontinuities, then can call subroutine and search for and provide the method that connects line segment the adjacent line segment that does not connect in the scope of accurately measuring radius.If do not produce as not satisfied effect as shown on the screen if the adjacent connection that do not connect line segment or provided is provided, the operator can stop this program so.Also can handle possible discontinuity according to the part steps of step 42 or by the continuous shape of request in the input file agreement.
In step 52, the reference direction relevant with punch die 10.Though can adopt the some other reference direction that is fit to adjustment, in the following description, reference direction is assumed to horizontal plane.In order to adjust punch die 10 orientations, the rectangular profile line formation of punch die 10 is had near punch die 10 outer peripheral horizontal side and vertical side.Punch die 10 can be contained in the rectangle fully, but this rectangle is not more than to holding punch die 10 desired rectangles fully.Then to turn over the incremental rotation punch die 10 of a specific angle of rotation.On each angle, form a new rectangle and measure new rectangular area face and store.After punch die 10 is turned over specific rotational angle, the rectangular area when more at every turn rotating and punch die recover to be rotated so that produce the rectangle of minimum area.Can automatically perform this step fully by drafting agreement or importing agreement down on this occasion, can make punch die 10 horizontal alignments or slewing area feel that even as big as making the people punch die 10 is random orientations usually at input file.In the change that operating personnel participate in, the operator can make punch die 10 turn at the very start and it seems as drawing permission of minimum rectangle or punch die 10 shape facilities or position vertical or level.Can come execution in step 52 by a bigger limited slewing area like that as previously discussed then.In case find minimum rectangle, if necessary, just rotate punch die 10 again, so that the longest edge of minimum area rectangle is a level.
In step 54, determine the position and the shape of edge tie rod 16.This is to be undertaken by the tie rod 16 of at first drawing two special tie rod width.These are leaving being vertical and being to leave each other at interval from the supercentral edge of the initial tie rod of Edge Distance tie rod 16 center lines of Far Left point and rightmost point on the punch die 10.By determining the end surface shape of edge tie rod 16 with the peripheral meet of punch die 10.Determine the length at edge, every edge tie rod 16 outside then.If any edge tie rod has the edge, outside greater than edge tie rod extra support length, the position of deckle edge tie rod again then, if on the support distances from the Far Left of punch die 10 or rightmost edge when suitable begin the tie rod center from the edge so that its center line is in.Owing to as described in, (describe below) and can increase connector tie rod 16 in step 58, therefore overspend support apart from the time begin the tie rod center greater than begin the tie rod central point from Edge Distance from the edge.
In step 56, determine quantity, shape and the position of internal bracing 16.For this reason, determine horizontal range between edge tie rod 16 center lines.This section horizontal range is divided into a plurality of parts that are equal to that are created in the minimum number internal bracing 16 that leaves the interval between maximum tie rod spacing and the minimum tie rod spacing each other.It is vertical and by horizontal range being divided into some internal bracings 16 of the cut-point that is equal to part to draw its center line.By determining the end surface shape of internal bracing 16 with punch die 10 parameter meets.
In step 58, determine the quantity of some connector tie rods 16, shape and position.For this reason, determine the position over-expense support apart from the time begin the outward flange length of the arbitrary edge tie rod 16 at tie rod center from the edge.Suppose that such length greater than edge tie rod extra support length, then will be provided with connector tie rod 16.If so, then use edge tie rod extra support length except that such length and an integer of desired connector tie rod 16 quantity of resulting numerical value truncation one-tenth representative.Then by adding-determine these positions along the connector tie rod 16 of edge tie rod 16 with these integer division edge tie rod 16 external margin length.Connector tie rod 16 is in the position of its center line level by cut-point.An end face of every connector 16 is cut into square, by with determine the other end shape towards film 10 peripheral meets.

Consult Figure 12 again, will more go through each parts of PLC 502 now.Power supply 504 is provided for the electric power of PLC 502.All processing among the CPU 506 control PLC 502.Servo control mechanism controller 508 control cutting tool servo control mechanism 166 and charging servo control mechanisms 158.Cutting tool servo control mechanism 166 advances cutting tool 164 or withdrawal and charging servo control mechanism 158 advances material feeding device 150 or withdraws.Communication card 510 makes PLC 502 be connected with hub 518 and therefore controls computer 31.The a plurality of input units as shown in figure 13 of input controller 512 controls.Each input unit is determined the situation of a kind of parts in the tie rod maker 38.This input is included in a large amount of aforesaid proximity switches of combining in the dashed rectangle in Figure 13 180.Other inputs comprise air pressure switch 522 and the emergent stop signal button 524 of master relay.Air pressure switch 522 is determined any other fur lacing machine 38 parts whether air is pressed is enough to operate cylinder 118 or pneumatically driving.Whether master control stop signal button 524 detecting operation persons have pushed emergent stop signal button, if so, then cut off the power supply of machine 38.Can add some other input as desired.
Various parts in the o controller 514 control machines 38, as shown in figure 14.Generally be to control these parts by the various accessories of not expressing.For example, chuck actuator 146, exhaust unit 174, cutting tool 164 and charging anchor clamps 148 all are with power-actuated.O controller 514 is controlled these parts by various switches or relay.Cylinder 118 is that pneumatically drives and o controller 514 comes control cylinder 118 by the base part that appropriate combination resembles relay, solenoid and valve.For being provided, some other function can add some other control.For example, in order to add printing machine at a part of number of seal or a string number on the trade mark of the every tie rod that is cut or can to add remover in order to remove these tie rods before leaving machine 38 at some tie rods.Also can before the cutting tie rod, remove and code.
Figure 15 represents the cutting process 600 that control system 500 is carried out.In step 602, make control system 500 and 38 initialization of tie rod maker.This step comprises each sub-steps that control system 500 and tie rod maker 38 can be started at any time.For example, make servo control mechanism 158 and 166 correcting actions and whether its leading edge is below cutting tool 164 on stand 108 in order to determine material strip, whether whether communication link opened to await orders with tie rod maker 38 starts and verifies.For the fault that overcomes some initial stages is carried out some steps, for example, if on stand 108, do not have whatever, the strip material tape or can make material strip on the stand 108 move forward at least one section minimum aperture distance of then can packing into so that its front edge is in below the cutting tool 164.
In step 604, PLC 502 waits for the output file 35 that will download.In case reception file, processing procedure just forward the information that folding is got relevant tie rod 16 to, can be the step 606 of the information of first tie rod 16 that will cut or next bar tie rod 16.If in PLC 502 input files that are computer 31 output files 35, comprise a plurality of tie rods 16, the PLC 502 tie rod total quantity that can set up index to write down or calculate will to cut then.Whether counter needs to cut more Duola's bar when making PLC 502 can determine below the step 620 described.
In step 608, verify the position of material feeding device 150 in case check material feeding device 150 whether on the material strip top and for next bar tie rod 16 cutting tool 164 of cutting from whether enough far.If two conditions do not satisfy, then processing procedure forwards step 622 to, makes material feeding device 150 move backward to the one section the same long distance of total length that adds the minimum operation space at least with the tie rod 16 that will cut in cutting tool 164 fronts in step 622.For mobile material feeder 150, at first make front anchor clamps 138 engagement and make charging anchor clamps 148 unclamp therefore that material strip can not move.Starting material feeding device 158 then moves material feeding device 150 backward.In step 624, verify, checking whether material feeding device 150 can ensure is enough to satisfy the band be used for next bar tie rod 16.This verification can comprise monitoring and determine whether material feeding device 150 has crossed proximity sense 180.If the operator attempts to cut the range greater than material feeding device 150, the tie rod less than the operation space of material feeding device 150 then overtravel may occur.This possibility also can be verified some tie rods 16 that are used for the overlength degree before this tie rod and avoids attempting to cut by the computer 31 that is equipped with or PLC 502.
In other words, control system 500 goes for cutting some bigger tie rods 16 by material feeding device 150 can itself be reorientated with respect to the tape that just is being cut when cutting wall scroll tie rod 16.In the present embodiment, material feeding device 150 remains on the only position tape that will cut when carrying out all cuttings for tie rod 16.
In order to check whether material is held also to verifying at charging anchor clamps 148 proximity sense 180 nearby.If it is too short to be used for cutting the material strip of tie rod 16 on stand 108, that just can not expose material.Under these circumstances, process proceeds to from stand 108 and extrudes existing material and put into the step 626 and 628 of new material strips.Can carry out the too short step 626 of tape by computer 31 by the operator of alertness.The operator re-moves material strip and keys in the instruction that the indication process can enter into step 626 by computer 31 then then.
In other words, step 626 and 628 can automatically perform.Move the material feeding device 150 that is used for automated procedure so that can catch approaching edge, tape back.Unclamp front anchor clamps 138, turn on charging anchor clamps 148, make material feeding device 150 move to its forward stroke boundary farthest then.This just makes material strip move to position in the front of the new tape of will packing into.The front anchor clamps 138 that close are then opened charging anchor clamps 148 and material feeding device 150 turns back to its correcting action.Cylinder 118 is advanced to be pressed to new tape on the stand 108.Close at charging anchor clamps 148 and withdrawal cylinder 118 on the new tape.Proximity switches 180 is verified the check that all cylinders advance and withdraw as requested.If new then tape below the cutting tool 164 of also catching the old tape by cutting chamber 162 fronts, then moves forward material feeding device 150 by presetting the distance that is enough to put down front edge.
In step 608, travel limit will not verified the existing position of material feeding device 150 yet before and after can not running into when guaranteeing during cutting mobile steel part.Verification like this is increased to the existing position of material feeding device 150 and the result that verified to the summit of the head that is cut to vertex distance so that guarantee the boundary that can not run into material feeding device 150.If can run into, then mobile material feeder 150 and not mobile as requested feed stock need not reorientated with respect to charging at the material feeding device 150 of making of cutting midway so that can cut.
When having satisfied the condition of some verifications in step 608, process proceeds to step 610.The head or the front edge of cutting tie rod 16 in step 610.In order to cut, PLC 502 produces the cutting section figure and the instruction array of servo control mechanism 158,166.Make servo control mechanism 158,166 move to first coordinate system in the sectional drawing.Connecting cutting tool 164 and servo control mechanism 158,166 then moves by their profile transmission.Turn-off cutting tool 164 then.
In step 612 and 614, control system 500 verifies whether need eyelet 18, if so talk about, just cuts eyelet 18.Verify the eyelet that whether has some to cut for convenience, 502 couples of PLC will cut the sum of eyelet and append notes to and maintenance counter when each eyelet 18 of cutting.To cut each eyelet 18 with described similar fashion aspect the head of cutting in the tie rod 16.During perforation 18, process enters into step 616, cuts tie rod 16 afterbodys in similar mode of how to cut tie rod 16 heads in step 616 having cut.Along with the cutting afterbody, tie rod 16 falls down by the front of cutting chamber 162.
After cutting tie rod 16, the material feeding device is moved forward is enough to guarantee to cut the space distance of next bar tie rod 16 head.Calculate apart from the width that cuts with cutting tool 164 in the space.The possibility that space distance will be calculated also in the end that the afterbody that cuts on the tie rod may extend forward towards the end direction of cutting and extend back from the benchmark edge of stand 108.Under these circumstances, the overall width of material is not under the stroke approach of cutting tool 164 and at cutting tool 164 proximity sense 180 nearby and can not be used for determining how many tapes need send to for getting rid of this problem.
Though space distance can not be provided in agreement with cause in some tie rods of problem the space distance can be set.In other words, tie rod 16 total length information can be used for determining the space of every tie rod in input file.Replace method with another kind, computer 31 can be made comparisons the head of tie rod 16 and afterbody cutting profile, and is considering to be identified under the situation of cutting width distance that material feeding device 150 moves and this distance is counted input file in step 618.In such method, thereby owing to have at the afterbody of a tie rod 16 and will cut in the certain situation of the similar shape of head of tie rod 16 PLC 520 with next bar and can reduce the space distance and save band.
After step 618, process changes step 620 over to, in step 620, for checking that whether having more Duola's bar to cut consults index, if so, then process is just returned step 606, if if not so, then process is returned step 604.Thereby process is continuous, but the operator can pass through computer 31 termination procedures when cutting tie rod when the operator finishes.
Though described the present invention with reference to some specific embodiment, can carry out various conversion and not do not break away from as the spirit and scope of the present invention described in claims below.Particularly, except without limits, can update routine 32, can use some other form cutters, some changing type systems can be used for mobile material tape and cutter, can change the configuration of machine, can use dissimilar anchor clamps, actuator, guide rail or piston in combination device, some other parts can be replaced the parts that are suitable for carrying out same task, can change agreement and can the performed order of steps of conversion.Further, be used for some system and methods that the tie rod of punch die uses, can revise in some other situation of a tape blank that coincide on design or cutting and border or use them though described in manufacturing, or the some parts in them.
