Definitions

  • the precision of the folding angle obtained essentially depends on the precision of the two elements present, namely that of the press and that of the material to be folded.
  • the precision of the two elements present namely that of the press and that of the material to be folded.
  • sheets of the same dimensions although belonging to the same batch, have thickness differences due to manufacturing tolerances and that this thickness can vary in very appreciable proportions (up to 10%) d 'one sheet to another.
  • the thickness of a sheet can vary from place to place thereof.
  • the sheets may have undulations or deformations.
  • the stroke of the punch is therefore primarily determined by the thickness of the sheet to be bent. If we just set the press for the average thickness of a batch of sheets, the value of the folding angle obtained will present significant differences from one sheet to another which will in most cases be unacceptable. In order to avoid this dispersion, it is necessary to measure the thickness of each sheet very precisely before folding.
  • the known methods involve an operator who, using a suitable measuring device, determines the thickness of the sheet which will control the stroke of the punch. But this operation requires time and will lengthen the duration of the folding cycle very appreciably.
  • the object of the invention is to automatically determine the thickness of the sheet to be bent during the bending cycle itself and to take it into account to immediately modify the stroke that the punch must perform in order to obtain the desired bending angle. , and this without interrupting the folding movement. It is therefore a question, during the folding cycle, and without lengthening the cycle time, of determining the thickness of the sheet, of transmitting this value to an analysis center which compares it to the programmed value of the thickness and determines, on this basis, the variation of the stroke of the punch, then orders a modification of this stroke even before the folding cycle is finished.
  • the present invention relates to a method of folding a sheet using a press brake as defined in claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method as defined in claim 4.
  • the advantages of the process resulting from the present invention are obvious. Knowing very precisely the thickness of the sheet to be folded, at the very place of folding, the central analysis unit determines in a time significantly less than that of the descent of the punch, the exact stroke that the punch must make and gives the command to the press, without the operator having to intervene. In addition, this method makes it possible to greatly reduce the influence of the differences in thickness that a sheet can have from one point to another thereof, as well as that of any corrugations or other defects of this sheet.
  • the method according to the invention consists in determining the thickness of the sheet by measuring the difference between the position of the end of the punch and the upper surface of the matrix on which the sheet rests., When the part b of the sheet is raised, that is to say when the lower surface of this part of the sheet is no longer in contact with the upper surface of the matrix. It is then a question of taking into account the measurement of this thickness by an analysis center which will determine exactly the distance that the punch must travel to obtain the desired bending angle, taking into account the real thickness of the sheet.
  • sheet metal used here must be understood in its broadest sense, that is to say that of any material to be folded whatever its material.
  • An example of a device allowing the implementation of this method consists in placing sensors 1 at the level of the upper surface of the matrix 2, on the matrix itself or preferably on a bar 3 which is fixed on the side of the matrix so that the sensors are located located at the top surface of the matrix.
  • a bar 3 which is fixed on the side of the matrix so that the sensors are located located at the top surface of the matrix.
  • two bars 3.3 ′ located on either side of the matrix. It should be noted that the device can also operate quite satisfactorily with a single bar. These sensors are intended to determine the moment of loss of contact between the lower surface of the sheet and the upper surface of the matrix when the sheet 4 lifts.
  • a digital control device 5 programmed to determine in a very short time the value AD of the correction of the stroke of the punch 6 as a function of the difference between the measured thickness of the sheet and the thickness initially programmed.
  • This device operates in the following manner: the measurement zone formed by the sensors 1 is unlocked when the lower end of the punch is at a distance equal to twice the programmed thickness of the sheet relative to the surface top of the matrix. At this time, depending on its size, the sheet 4 covers a greater or lesser number of sensors 1, which are then put into action. When the punch reaches the surface of the sheet, part b of it begins to lift. However, the sensors will not be released immediately.
  • the correction to Y to be made to the depth of the punch stroke can be calculated, for example, using the following formula: where: ⁇ represents the value of the desired folding angle.
  • This correction is then automatically controlled by the press by digital control.
  • any material detection device can be used with or without contact, such as inductive, capacitive, laser, ultrasonic, etc. sensors.
  • the sheet undergoes decompression (which is called "SPRING BACK") which causes a variation in the folding angle.
  • SPRING BACK decompression
  • the value of this variation can be predicted with fairly high precision, which makes it possible to take it into account already during the initial programming of the numerical control.
  • sensors with a wide measurement range, such as proportional voltage sensors, and provided that sensors are installed on each side of the matrix, the device described above still makes it possible to control the bending angle, either during the folding cycle itself, or after decompression, the sensors making it possible to identify the position of the points of the sheet located at the right of these. Knowing then the position of the punch, as well as the actual thickness of the sheet, the bending angle can easily be calculated.
  • Such a control naturally requires prior recording in the digital control of the response curve of the sensors.
  • the sensors are photoelectric cells arranged at the ends of the matrix or of the bars (3.3 ′) and whose horizontal beam is parallel to the upper surface of the matrix is restored when the sheet is lifted.
