Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pressenanlage entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a press system according to the preamble of claim 1.

Pressenanlagen der genannten Arten dienen der Umformung von Blechteilen in einer ersten, als Ziehstufe ausgebildeten Arbeitsstufe und weiteren, der Ziehstufe nachfolgenden Arbeitsstufen. Die Umformung erfolgt unter sehr hohen Kräften, die von den Antriebselementen aufgebracht werden, von den Stößein und den Werkzeugoberteilen auf die Blechteile und Werkzeugunterteile und Pressentisch übertragen und von dem Pressengestell insgesamt aufgefangen werden müssen. Darüber hinaus führen ungleiche Verformungen an dem Werkstück zu außermittigen Belastungen von Werkzeugen und Stößeln.Press systems of the types mentioned serve the forming of sheet metal parts in a first working stage designed as a drawing stage and further working stages following the drawing stage. The shaping takes place under very high forces, which are applied by the drive elements, must be transferred from the rams and the upper tool parts to the sheet metal parts and lower tool parts and press table and must be absorbed by the press frame as a whole. In addition, uneven deformations on the workpiece lead to eccentric loads on tools and rams.

Es ist bekannt (DE-31 43 690 C2; DE-33 28 631 C2), Pressenstößel an den Pressenständern zu führen; eine Maßnahme, die hohe Ansprüche an die Stößelführung und die Gestaltung der Pressenständer stellt.It is known (DE-31 43 690 C2; DE-33 28 631 C2) to guide press rams on the press stands; a measure that places high demands on the ram guide and the design of the press stands.

Darüberhinaus ist es bei einer in der FR-A-2 075 213 beschriebenen hydraulischen Presse bekannt, Stößel mittels am Kopfstück angeordneter Führungen auf- und abbewegbar zu lagern.In addition, in a hydraulic press described in FR-A-2 075 213, it is known to mount rams so that they can be moved up and down by means of guides arranged on the head piece.

In der DE 33 22 377 C2 ist ein Pressengestell einer mechanisch angetriebenen Großteil-Stufenpresse beschrieben, bei der Quertraversen Einzelbauteile der Pressenständer sind. Es sind zwei Kopfstücke zur Aufnahme der Antriebsmittel für zwei Stößel vorhanden, die sich auf den Pressenständern bzw. deren Quertraversen abstützen sowie zwei Pressentische. Die Presse ist somit kein einheitliches, statisches Ganzes. Die Stößel sind in den Ständerbereichen an den Quertraversen in Führungen auf- und abbewegbar. Der Arbeitsbereich ist durch Pressenständer unterbrochen.DE 33 22 377 C2 describes a press frame of a mechanically driven large-part step press in which cross members are individual components of the press stand. There are two head pieces for receiving the drive means for two rams, which are supported on the press stands or their crossbeams, and two press tables. The press is therefore not a uniform, static whole. The plungers can be moved up and down in guides in the stand areas on the crossbeams. The work area is interrupted by press stands.

Demgegenüber ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine stabile und kompakte, insgesamt kürzere Pressenanlage zu schaffen unter Wegfall von Pressenständern sowie Zwischenablagen in mittleren Arbeitsbereichen. Ein weiteres Erfindungsmerkmal besteht darin, daß sich die Kopfstücke auf den beiden Längstraversen abstützen.In contrast, it is an object of the invention to provide a stable and compact, overall shorter press system with the elimination of press stands and intermediate storage in middle work areas. Another feature of the invention is that the head pieces are supported on the two longitudinal cross members.

Diese Aufgabe ist gelöst durch die gegenständlichen Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die Merkmale der Ansprüche 2 und 3 stellen erfinderische und vorteilbehaftete Ausbildungen einer Pressenanlage dar.This object is achieved by the objective features of claim 1. The features of claims 2 and 3 represent inventive and advantageous designs of a press system.

Von besonderem Vorteil hierbei ist die kostengünstige Gestaltung der Pressenanlage bei erhöhter Stabilität. Die erhöhte Stabilität führt zu einer wesentlichen Vereinfachung des Antriebes in der Transferbewegung.The cost-effective design of the press system with increased stability is particularly advantageous here. The increased stability leads to a significant simplification of the drive in the transfer movement.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung und der Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels.Further advantages result from the description and the representation of an exemplary embodiment.

Die in den Figuren gezeigte Pressenanlage weist eine Ziehstufe 1 und Arbeitsstufen 2 auf. Mit 3 sind Pressenständer positioniert, die über Pressenquertraversen 4 auf dem Pressenfundament 17 aufgestellt sind. Auf den Pressenquertraversen 4, die sich vor und hinter den Arbeitsstufen 2, in Längserstreckung der Presse gesehen, befinden, liegt ein Pressentisch 5 auf. Es ist möglich, die Pressenständer 3 unter Zwischenlage des Pressentisches 5 auf den Pressenquertraversen 4 aufzusetzen. Auf den Pressenständern 3 sind Längstraversen 9 aufgesetzt, die sich zumindest über den Gesamtbereich der Arbeitsstufen 2 erstrecken und von denen eine Längstraverse 9 vor den Stößein 11, 12, eine Längstraverse 9 hinter den Stößeln 11, 12, bezogen auf Fig. 1 angeordnet sind. Die Längstraversen können sich über die Gesamtlänge der Pressenanlage erstrecken. Auf den Längstraversen 9 sind Kopfstücke 7, 8 aufgesetzt; ein weiteres Kopfstück 6 ist der Ziehstufe 1 zugeordnet.The press system shown in the figures has a drawing stage 1 and working stages 2. With 3 press stands are positioned, which are set up on the press foundation 17 via press cross members 4. A press table 5 rests on the crossbeams 4 of the press, which are located in front of and behind the working stages 2, seen in the longitudinal direction of the press. It is possible to place the press stand 3 on the press crossbeams 4 with the press table 5 in between. Longitudinal cross members 9 are placed on the press stands 3, which extend at least over the entire area of the working stages 2 and of which a longitudinal cross member 9 is arranged in front of the rams 11, 12, a longitudinal cross member 9 behind the rams 11, 12, based on FIG. 1. The longitudinal beams can extend over the entire length of the press system. Head pieces 7, 8 are placed on the longitudinal cross members 9; another head piece 6 is assigned to drawing stage 1.

Das Aufsetzen der Kopfstücke 7, 8 und ggf. auch des Kopfstückes 6 führt zu einer wesentlichen Verbesserung im Gesamtaufhau der Pressenanlage, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Stabilität. Pressenquertraversen 4, Pressenständer 3, Pressentisch 5, Längstraversen 9 und Kopfstücke 7, 8 sind vermittels Spannanker 10 zu einer Baueinheit verspannt. Mit 18 ist ein Schwinghebel positioniert, der die Umsetzeinrichtung 19 mit den Greifermitteln oder Saugermitteln 20 im Sinne einer Umsetzbewegung für die Blechteile (Werkstücke) bewegt. Die Stößel 11, 12 und ggf. auch der Stößel 25, sind über Führungsmittel, die insgesamt mit 13 positioniert sind, an den Längstraversen auf- und abbewegbar gelagert. An den Stößein 11, 12 befinden sich Werkzeugoberteile 14, die mit Werkzeugunterteilen 15 auf einem aus der Pressenanlage herausfahrbaren Schiebetisch 16 zusammenwirken. Die Stößel 11, 12 sowie 25 sind an insgesamt mit 21 positionierten Pleueln aufgehängt, die in Fig. 1 als Strich-Punktlinien angedeutet sind. In Fig. 4 sind die Anlenkpunkte 22 der Pleuel 21 an den Stößein 11, 12 angedeutet. Die Pleuel 21 sind über Motore 26, Schwungrad 27, Hauptwelle 24 und in den Kopfstücken eingebauten Getrieben 23 antreibbar. Während insbesondere aus den Fign. 1 bis 3 der Gesamtaufbau der Pressenanlage zu erkennen ist, zeigt Fig. 4 die Lagerung der Stößel 11, 12 an den Längstraversen 9 vermittels der Führungen 13.The placement of the head pieces 7, 8 and possibly also the head piece 6 leads to a significant improvement in the overall structure of the press system, in particular with regard to stability. Press cross members 4, press stand 3, press table 5, longitudinal cross members 9 and head pieces 7, 8 are clamped to a structural unit by means of tension anchors 10. With 18 a rocker arm is positioned, which moves the transfer device 19 with the gripper means or suction means 20 in the sense of a transfer movement for the sheet metal parts (workpieces). The plungers 11, 12 and possibly also the plunger 25 are mounted on the longitudinal cross members so that they can be moved up and down by means of guide means, which are positioned overall at 13. On the rams 11, 12 there are upper tool parts 14 which interact with lower tool parts 15 on a sliding table 16 which can be moved out of the press system. The plungers 11, 12 and 25 are suspended from a total of 21 connecting rods positioned, which are indicated in FIG. 1 as dash-dotted lines. 4, the articulation points 22 of the connecting rods 21 on the rams 11, 12 are indicated. The connecting rods 21 can be driven via motors 26, flywheel 27, main shaft 24 and gears 23 installed in the head pieces. While in particular from FIGS. 1 to 3 the overall structure of the press system can be seen, FIG. 4 shows the mounting of the rams 11, 12 on the longitudinal cross members 9 by means of the guides 13.
