Definitions

  • the travel drives with the measurement and control of the tensile force to be applied to the strands have been improved in numerous proposals to the effect that more precise and direct measurement of the tensile force on the grippers and specially designed drive drives
  • a tensile force that is constant and as low as possible is sufficient to keep the strands stretched and to prevent the occurrence of compressive forces in the strand.
  • the invention also aims to improve the cross-sectional tolerances of the extruded strands drawn from an extrusion press by minimizing the tensile force acting in the region of the die and influencing the strand formation in the strand.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the strand with increasing distance from the die can be loaded with increasing tensile force due to the cooling, without cross-sectional changes occurring.
  • the procedure according to the invention is such that a tensile force (pulling force) which is adapted to the cross section and the flow behavior in the die increases the unit weight and the coefficient of friction, which increases proportionally to the extruded strand length between the line and the exit table taking into account the pulling force (towing force).
  • a tensile force pulseling force
  • the tensile force prevailing in the die area can be kept constant at a minimum value sufficient to keep the strand elongated.
  • the method according to the invention is such that, after a strand has been cut off and pulled out of the die, the force required for its towing is measured, which, divided by the length of the strand determined at the same time, serves as the specification of a specific profile friction force which multiplies with the respective strand length as the towing force is superimposed on the basic value of the pulling force and the driving resistance.
  • the pulling device is provided with a control in which, as a setpoint for the pulling force exerted on the strand tip, in addition to a predetermined value, which takes into account the driving resistance of the carriage or pulling device, as the first summand and a basic value of the pulling force which is dependent on the strand cross section as a second summand, starting with the grasping of the pulling device by the gripper of the pulling device, an increasing, as the respective product of the result, continuous exit path measurement and predetermined specific profile friction force between the running strand and the outlet table, the resulting value is determined and entered as the third summand.
  • a control in which, as a setpoint for the pulling force exerted on the strand tip, in addition to a predetermined value, which takes into account the driving resistance of the carriage or pulling device, as the first summand and a basic value of the pulling force which is dependent on the strand cross section as a second summand, starting with the grasping of the pulling device by the gripper of the pulling device, an increasing, as the
  • control is provided in such a way that, based on the towing force determined after disconnecting a strand and pulling it out of the die as an actual value, taking into account the length of the strand, a correction value for the specific profile friction force is determined and the same for pressing out the following strand Target cross section is entered. As a result, operational changes in the specific profile friction are continuously determined and corrected.
  • a further feature of the invention provides for a deviation from the straight, loop-free outlet of the strand and thus a decrease in the pulling force acting on the strand in the die area ( second summand of the pulling force) to provide a signaling device in the area of the counter beam of the press, which controls the lower limit of the pulling force.
  • FIG. 3 A system suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3 and consists of an extrusion or tube press 1 and an outlet 2 for the extruded extrudates.
  • the extruder 1 shown consists of a cylinder spar 3 with a press cylinder, the barrel 4, which is moved by a plunger and carries the press ram 5, a sensor 6 for the metal block to be pressed and a counter spar 7 supporting the die, which is connected to the die by tie rods 8 Cylinder beam 3 is connected.
  • the outlet 2 consists of an outlet table 11 arranged in the longitudinal axis of the press 1, over which a pull-out carriage 12 can be moved.
  • the pressed and extracted profiles are conveyed across the cooling bed 13 by means of rakes to a collecting table 14, from where they are conveyed longitudinally by a roller table 15 against a stop 16, by a dividing device (scissors or saw) 17 divided into commercial lengths and onto a collecting device 18 to be promoted across the board.
  • the pull-out carriage 12 is moved along a rail 20 resting on supports 19.
  • the frame 21 of the pull-out carriage 12, which is open at the bottom in the region of the rail 20, is provided on both ends with bearing blocks for the wheels 22 which guide the pull-out carriage 12 along the rail 20.
  • the pull-out carriage 12 With a boom 23, the pull-out carriage 12 is guided on a further rail 24 by means of the wheels 25 mounted on the boom 23.
  • a gripper 27 is guided on rods 26 in the pull-out direction.
  • the gripper 27 consists of a two-part base plate 28, the halves of which can be swung out laterally, so that the gripper 27 can be opened downwards.
  • slats 30 which can be pivoted about an axis 29 are provided, between which and the base plate 28 the profiles to be extracted can be gripped by the gripper 27.
  • the gripper 27 is intercepted relative to the frame 21 of the pull-out carriage 12 by means of pressure transducers 31 in the pull-out direction, so that the tensile force exerted by the gripper 27 on the profile to be extracted is measured via the pressure transducers 31.
  • a piston-cylinder unit 32 is provided in order to be able to swing out the lamellae 30 in order to release the strand.
  • the pull-out carriage 12 is moved along the rails 20 and 24 via a cable pull, consisting of a pull cable 33 and a capstan or winch 34, which is driven by a speed and torque-controllable DC motor 35.
  • the pull cable 33 is connected to the pull-out carriage 12 via a pull-measuring device 36, which measures the pulling force exerted on the gripper 27 and exerted on the strand and the driving resistance of the pull-out carriage 12.
  • the tensile force measured by the tension measuring device 36 minus the The tensile force exerted by the gripper 27 on the strand and measured by the pressure load cells 31 thus results in the driving resistance of the pull-out carriage 12.
  • the pull-out carriage 12 is in standby immediately behind the counter beam 7 of the press 1. As soon as the tip of the strand reaches the area of the pull-out carriage 12 with its gripper 27, the pull-out carriage 12 is accelerated until it synchronizes with the strand.
  • the resulting driving resistance of the pull-out carriage 12 is determined as a partial force (first summand) of a tractive force to be exerted by the traction drive (motor 35, capstan or winch 34) from the pull rope 33 (see diagram in FIG. 1).
  • the gripper 27 closes by lifting the piston-cylinder unit 32 so that the slats 30 lower onto the base plate 28 and thus pinch the strand tip.
  • the unit length of the strand corresponds, taking into account the specific weight of its material, to a cross-section, from which in turn the force with which the strand can be pulled out without the risk of a cross-sectional constriction, that is to say without influencing the shape in the die, depends.
  • This partial force forms the second summand of the tensile force to be applied in the pull rope 33.
  • the length of the extruded strand is continuously measured by pulse counting on a pulse generator 38 connected to the deflection roller 37 for the pulling rope 33 and multiplied by the specific profile friction force between the strand and the outlet table as the third partial value (third summand) of the tractive force to be applied, which increases proportionally with the strand length Pull rope 33 applied.
  • the on Gripper 27 measured by the load cells 30 towing force and simultaneously the length of the tow tow.
  • the towing force divided by the strand length corresponds to the actual value of the specific profile friction force and is specified for the following work cycle when pressing out the same strand cross section to determine the third summand of the tensile force.
  • a torque measurement on the winch or the capstan 34, or connected with a speed measurement a measurement of the power consumption on the motor 35 can be provided to determine the pulling force in the pull rope 33 and the pulling force in the pull rope 33 can be determined therefrom.
  • the driving resistance of the pull-out carriage 12 does not change in normal operation, it can be deducted as a constant from the force determined in the pull rope 33 in order to determine the summands 2 (pull-off force) and 3 (towing force), so that the load cell 31 and the In the pull-out direction, there is no need to fasten the gripper 27 in the pull-out carriage 12, and the constructional effort of the pull-out device can thus be reduced.
  • the driving resistance is specified or entered as the 1st summand as the tractive force measured in the pull rope 33 when the pull-out carriage 12 is synchronized with the running strand before the gripper 27 closes. This is combined with the second summand, with which the profile-specific, cross-section-dependent, empirically determined pull-off force is specified.
  • the 3rd summand is the product of the respective length of the strand determined by displacement measurement by means of the pulse generator 38 and the specific profile friction force, which is determined empirically and predetermined for the first pressing process and for the following pressing process by measurement of the towing of the extruded strand after its separation from the baling residue and exit from the die required tensile force divided by the also measured length of this strand is determined and entered.
  • the resulting 3rd summand is combined with the sum of the 1st and 2nd summands and results in the respective target value of the pulling force and from the comparison with the respective actual value of the pulling force, the motor for driving the pull-out devices is regulated in its torque by a motor controller.
