Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for adjusting the stroke of a press brake comprising a movable deck supporting a punch, a fixed apron supporting a die, means for moving the movable deck relative to the fixed deck, the said means of movement based on fixed amounts of the fixed deck, measurement rules for measuring the displacement of the movable deck relative to at the uprights, at least one sensor measuring a parameter physics varying with the force exerted by said punch on a sheet placed on said matrix and a device folding movement control electronics controlling the speed of said movement of movement between a neutral point high and a bottom dead center and provided with a calculation means for correct the value of said bottom dead center according to the measurement of said displacement and of said physical parameter.
- Applicant's patent CH 686119 describes a press brake of this type.
- the force undergone by the amounts of a press under the effect of the thrust of the jacks causes amounts to bend, which can result in frame deformation up to 1-2mm.
- This bending changes the depth of penetration of the punch into the die, this which creates an error in the bending angle obtained on the part to be to fold.
- Another parameter likely to generate an error of the bending angle is the variability of the thickness of the sheet processed.
- One of the parameters is the nominal thickness of the sheet. introduced in the press brake control electronics during the initial stroke adjustment.
- the actual thickness of the sheet must be measured in principle every time by the operator. Indeed, the sheet steel manufacturers supply sheets of which the actual thickness varies from up to up to 10% of the nominal thickness value. If a sheet nominal thickness of 2mm must for example be bent at 90 ° in a 12mm V-shaped opening, a variation in thickness of ⁇ 10% will induce, if it is not corrected, a variation of the folding angle between 88 ° and 92 °.
- the operator should therefore before each folding operation measure the actual thickness of the sheet it will process and enter this data into the control electronics of the press brake so that it corrects the stroke of the slide.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of adjusting the stroke of a holding press brake account for variations in the actual thickness of the sheets processed, without requiring operator intervention.
- the invention provides a method such as defined input, in which the difference between the thickness sheet metal and the set value of the thickness of the sheet is measured by the electronic control device of the press by comparing the actual position of the displacement, to which occurs a predetermined variation of a parameter physics varying with the force exerted by the punch on the sheet placed on the matrix, with the theoretical position of the displacement where this predetermined variation should occur produce, and in which the electronic device of command calculates a correction for the bottom dead center taking account for this difference in thickness.
- the speed of movement is reduced to a measurement acquisition speed (vam), lower than a predetermined folding speed (vl), when the punch is at a predetermined distance from the level theoretical plate pinching greater than the tolerance of thickness ⁇ e for manufacturing said sheet, and the speed of movement increases to said speed of folding after detection of said predetermined variation ⁇ p of said physical parameter (p).
- the movement of the movable platform takes place at approach speed from top dead center to a safety distance predetermined with respect to the theoretical level of pinching, that is to say the level reached by the deck during its lowering, where the sheet begins to be pinched between punch and matrix, distance where the speed is reduced to a speed of folding; the speed of movement of the deck is again reduced to a measurement acquisition speed, to a measurement acquisition distance, i.e. at a distance relative to this theoretical level of equal pinch or greater than the manufacturing thickness tolerance of the sheet metal; the speed is maintained at this acquisition speed of measurement over a displacement distance at least equal to double the measurement acquisition distance; the speed of displacement is then increased again up to speed folding. It is finally reduced and brought back to zero at approaching bottom dead center (or BDC, Bottom Dead Center).
- the system can perform a large number of measurement cycles of the physical parameter per unit of travel length and can therefore accurately detect the start of the variation of this parameter, as well as the precise position where the variation of the parameter exceeds a predetermined value, which means that the punch has come into contact with the sheet and is starting to pinch it.
- Control electronics determine actual thickness sheet metal while the deck descends at reduced speed of measurement acquisition and recalculates the parameters of the folding operation, in particular a correction of the neutral point low (BDC).
- BDC neutral point low
- the correction of the bottom dead center includes a correction level geometry due to the over- or under-thickness of the sheet metal.
- the thickness of the sheet is a parameter which largely determines the reaction force experienced by the press, in particular the uprights, during folding, and, consequently, the distortion of the press and the error of penetration of the resulting punch. From tests preliminary, we can establish an abacus or algorithm linking actual thickness and deformation of the press and correct the penetration error from the single measurement of the actual thickness.
- Two different parameters can be used to determine variations in sheet thickness and bending suffered by an amount.
- a physical parameter which is also representative of the geometric deformations of the press this same parameter allows both to correct the variations in sheet thickness, by detecting a initial variation ⁇ p of the parameter, and the deformation of the press, by measuring the maximum variation of the parameter in folding course.
- the force undergone by the amounts under the action of the means of moving the deck is determined during the folding operation by measuring the same parameter physical and compared with a diagram establishing the relation between force undergone by an amount and bending of said amount, and the slide stroke is also increased so that compensate for bending errors due to deformation of the press from this measurement, in addition to correcting errors due to variations in sheet thickness.
- the means of movement of the press brake include two hydraulic cylinders associated respectively with two amounts
- the value of the physical parameter can be measured at the level of each amount and the electronic control can independently correct the stroke each cylinder to its bottom dead center, or recalculate a common correction value from these two measurement zones.
- the physical parameter chosen can be the pressure hydraulic prevailing in the upper part of a cylinder.
- the physical parameter can also be the constraint mechanical that a cylinder exerts on the movable deck.
- the physical parameter can also be the distance between a point in the upper part and a point in the part low of the press frame.
- the physical parameter can also be a constraint mechanical that undergoes part of the press frame.
- the press brake shown in Figure 2 has a movable deck 1 supporting a punch 2 and a fixed deck 3 supporting a matrix 4.
- the movement of the movable deck is carried out using two hydraulic cylinders 5, 5 ', mounted on two respective uprights 6, 6 ′ integral with the deck inferior.
- Two measurement rules 9 and 9 ', mounted on the movable deck 1, measure the displacement of the movable deck relative to the respective uprights 6 and 6 '.
- the folding movement is controlled by a device control electronics 7.
- Two pressure sensors 8 and 8 ' are mounted respectively on each of the cylinders so as to detect the pressure at the top of each of them.
- the electronic control device is arranged to process the signals a1 and a2 respectively from each pressure sensors and also process two signals b1 and b2 from the 9 and 9 'measurement rules and representative displacements of the movable deck relative to each of the uprights 6 and 6 '.
- the diagram in Figure 3 illustrates the process according to the invention. It shows the speed of descent v of the deck mobile and at the same time shows the variation in pressure hydraulic p measured at a pressure sensor 8 or 8 '.
- the descent is carried out initially at a speed high approach v1 until reaching a distance predetermined from the level where the punch comes from theoretically pinch the sheet, called safety distance ds.
- the speed is decreased to a speed of folding vp, imposed by the composition and nominal thickness sheet metal as well as the characteristics of the bending desired, bending angle and tool profile. This speed can typically be of the order of 10mm / s.
- the tolerance on the thickness by ⁇ e the real thickness of the sheet will be included in the range e ⁇ ⁇ e.
- dam measurement acquisition distance
- vam speed acquisition of measurement
- the pressure sensors 8 and 8 ' measure the hydraulic pressure p at each of the cylinders 5 and 5 'and the control device 7 records it and Trafficking.
- the pressure variation is shown (in arbitrary units) on the diagram in Figure 3.
- the reduction of the speed v of descent, of the speed approach v1 at the folding speed vp, is accompanied by a slight concomitant pressure increase dpl.
- the value of the pressure reached then, during the descent phase at the bending speed and before coming into contact with the sheet, is considered as a reference value pr. of this parameter.
- a pressure measurement cycle of the sensor assembly + electronic control device lasts approximately 10 ms: from so while the deck goes down at a folding speed vp of the order of 10mm / s, a pressure measurement is performed every 0.1mm; when the descent speed is reduced to the measurement acquisition speed vam, a measurement pressure is applied every 0.01mm.
- the device is therefore able to determine very precisely the moment when the pressure p increases again by an amount ⁇ p, representative of the contact of the punch with the face top of the sheet. You can choose a value of ⁇ p from around 1 bar. This contact can occur at any point between the representative points of sheets of thickness e + ⁇ e and e- ⁇ e respectively.
- the comparison of entry level in contact with level theoretical pinch determines the difference between thickness real and nominal value of the sheet and the control device 7 immediately recalculates a bottom dead center.
- the pressure measured at the level of a sensor 8, 8 After contact, the pressure measured at the level of a sensor 8, 8 'increases according to an S curve up to reach pp value, bending pressure, often from around 300 bars, beyond which it varies little.
- the difference in value pp-pr determines the deformation of amounts and other parts of the press.
- the device control electronics 7 compare the value of pp or (pp-pr) with an algorithm specific to this press brake, stored in memory, establishing the relationship between this value and deformation of the fixed parts of the press, conditioning an error of penetration of the punch dy.
- the punch stroke can then be automatically corrected by consequence: the position of the bottom dead center of the slide (BDC) is thus increased by the value dy at the level of each upright, so as to create an independent folding movement of the press.
- the descent of the apron mobile can be continued at the folding speed, the value de dy which can be calculated and used for a correction of BDC while folding takes place at speed vp.
- the descent speed of the apron re-accelerates from the vam value to the vp value after having traveled a distance 2 ⁇ e at speed vam.
- the distance on which the deck descends at vam speed can also be programmed to a slightly higher value, for example 2xdam.
- the acceleration could also be programmed to intervene as soon as the variation ⁇ p is detected.
- the variation of the speed between points ds and dam can be programmed differently.
- Hydraulic oil pressure at the top of the cylinders is a parameter representative of all the phenomena and easy to measure with known sensors. It presents plus the advantage of being able to be correlated with both the entry of the punch into contact with the sheet and with the maximum deformation of the press brake during operation In progress.

Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de réglage de la course d'une presse-plieuse comportant un tablier mobile supportant un poinçon, un tablier fixe supportant une matrice, des moyens de déplacement du tablier mobile par rapport au tablier fixe, les dits moyens de déplacement s'appuyant sur des montants solidaires du tablier fixe, des règles de mesure pour la mesure du déplacement du tablier mobile par rapport aux montants, au moins un capteur mesurant un paramètre physique variant avec la force exercée par ledit poinçon sur une tôle placée sur ladite matrice et un dispositif électronique de commande du mouvement de pliage commandant la vitesse du dit mouvement de déplacement entre un point mort haut et un point mort bas et pourvu d'un moyen de calcul pour corriger la valeur du dit point mort bas en fonction de la mesure du dit déplacement et du dit paramètre physique.The present invention relates to a method for adjusting the stroke of a press brake comprising a movable deck supporting a punch, a fixed apron supporting a die, means for moving the movable deck relative to the fixed deck, the said means of movement based on fixed amounts of the fixed deck, measurement rules for measuring the displacement of the movable deck relative to at the uprights, at least one sensor measuring a parameter physics varying with the force exerted by said punch on a sheet placed on said matrix and a device folding movement control electronics controlling the speed of said movement of movement between a neutral point high and a bottom dead center and provided with a calculation means for correct the value of said bottom dead center according to the measurement of said displacement and of said physical parameter.
Le brevet CH 686119 du déposant décrit une presse-plieuse de ce type. Lors du pliage d'une tôle, la force subie par les montants d'une presse sous l'effet de la poussée des vérins provoque une flexion des montants, qui peut se traduire par une déformation du cadre jusqu'à 1-2mm. Cette flexion modifie la profondeur de pénétration du poinçon dans la matrice, ce qui crée une erreur de l'angle de pliage obtenu sur la pièce à plier. Dans le procédé de réglage selon CH 686119, on détermine, par exemple à l'aide de capteurs de pression, la force subie par chacun des montants sous l'action des moyens de déplacement du tablier mobile et l'on compare chacune des valeurs obtenues avec un diagramme prédéterminé établissant la relation entre la force subie par le montant respectif et la flexion du montant, et l'on augmente la course du coulisseau de façon à compenser les erreurs de pliage dues aux déformations de la presse, en particulier dues à la flexion des montants.Applicant's patent CH 686119 describes a press brake of this type. When bending a sheet, the force undergone by the amounts of a press under the effect of the thrust of the jacks causes amounts to bend, which can result in frame deformation up to 1-2mm. This bending changes the depth of penetration of the punch into the die, this which creates an error in the bending angle obtained on the part to be to fold. In the adjustment process according to CH 686119, we determines, for example using pressure sensors, the force undergone by each of the amounts under the action of the means movement of the movable deck and we compare each of the values obtained with a predetermined diagram establishing the relationship between the force undergone by the respective amount and the bending of the upright, and the slide stroke is increased so as to compensate for bending errors due to press deformations, particularly due to bending amounts.
Un autre paramètre susceptible d'engendrer une erreur de l'angle de pliage est la variabilité de l'épaisseur de la tôle traitée. L'épaisseur nominale de la tôle est un des paramètres introduits dans l'électronique de commande de la presse-plieuse lors du réglage initial de la course.Another parameter likely to generate an error of the bending angle is the variability of the thickness of the sheet processed. One of the parameters is the nominal thickness of the sheet. introduced in the press brake control electronics during the initial stroke adjustment.
L'épaisseur réelle de la tôle doit être mesurée en principe à chaque fois par l'opérateur. En effet, les fabricants de tôle d'acier fournissent des tôles dont l'épaisseur réelle présente des variations pouvant aller jusqu'à 10 % de la valeur nominale de l'épaisseur. Si une tôle d'épaisseur nominale de 2mm doit par exemple être pliée à 90° dans une ouverture en V de 12mm, une variation de l'épaisseur de ±10 % induira, si elle n'est pas corrigée, une variation de l'angle de pliage entre 88° et 92°.The actual thickness of the sheet must be measured in principle every time by the operator. Indeed, the sheet steel manufacturers supply sheets of which the actual thickness varies from up to up to 10% of the nominal thickness value. If a sheet nominal thickness of 2mm must for example be bent at 90 ° in a 12mm V-shaped opening, a variation in thickness of ± 10% will induce, if it is not corrected, a variation of the folding angle between 88 ° and 92 °.
L'opérateur devrait donc avant chaque opération de pliage mesurer l'épaisseur réelle de la tôle qu'il va traiter et introduire cette donnée dans l'électronique de commande de la presse-plieuse pour que celle-ci corrige la course du coulisseau.The operator should therefore before each folding operation measure the actual thickness of the sheet it will process and enter this data into the control electronics of the press brake so that it corrects the stroke of the slide.
L'expérience montre que cette mesure préliminaire est malheureusement souvent négligée par les opérateurs, ce qui provoque la production d'un certain nombre de pièces dont l'angle de pliage est en dehors des normes de tolérance.Experience shows that this preliminary measure is unfortunately often overlooked by operators, which causes the production of a certain number of parts including the folding angle is outside tolerance standards.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un procédé de réglage de la course d'une presse-plieuse tenant compte des variations de l'épaisseur réelle des tôles traitées, sans nécessiter une intervention de l'opérateur.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of adjusting the stroke of a holding press brake account for variations in the actual thickness of the sheets processed, without requiring operator intervention.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un procédé tel que défini d'entrée, dans lequel la différence entre l'épaisseur réelle de la tôle et la valeur de consigne de l'épaisseur de la tôle est mesurée par le dispositif électronique de commande de la presse en comparant la position réelle du déplacement, à laquelle se produit une variation prédéterminée d'un paramètre physique variant avec la force exercée par le poinçon sur la tôle placée sur la matrice, avec la position théorique du déplacement où cette variation prédéterminée devrait se produire, et dans lequel le dispositif électronique de commande calcule une correction du point mort bas en tenant compte de cette différence d'épaisseur.To this end, the invention provides a method such as defined input, in which the difference between the thickness sheet metal and the set value of the thickness of the sheet is measured by the electronic control device of the press by comparing the actual position of the displacement, to which occurs a predetermined variation of a parameter physics varying with the force exerted by the punch on the sheet placed on the matrix, with the theoretical position of the displacement where this predetermined variation should occur produce, and in which the electronic device of command calculates a correction for the bottom dead center taking account for this difference in thickness.
De préférence, pour détecter de manière plus précise ladite position réelle de déplacement où se produit la variation Δp, la vitesse du mouvement de déplacement est réduite à une vitesse d'acquisition de mesure (vam), inférieure à une vitesse de pliage (vl) prédéterminée, lorsque le poinçon est à une distance prédéterminée du niveau théorique de pincement de la tôle supérieure à la tolérance d'épaisseur Δe de fabrication de ladite tôle, et la vitesse du mouvement de déplacement augmente jusqu'à ladite vitesse de pliage après détection de ladite variation prédéterminée Δp du dit paramètre physique (p).Preferably, to detect more precisely said actual displacement position where the variation Δp, the speed of movement is reduced to a measurement acquisition speed (vam), lower than a predetermined folding speed (vl), when the punch is at a predetermined distance from the level theoretical plate pinching greater than the tolerance of thickness Δe for manufacturing said sheet, and the speed of movement increases to said speed of folding after detection of said predetermined variation Δp of said physical parameter (p).
Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, le déplacement du tablier mobile s'effectue à vitesse d'approche depuis le point mort haut jusqu'à une distance de sécurité prédéterminée par rapport au niveau théorique de pincement, c'est-à-dire le niveau atteint par le tablier pendant sa descente, où la tôle commence à être pincée entre poinçon et matrice, distance où la vitesse est réduite à une vitesse de pliage; la vitesse de déplacement du tablier est à nouveau réduite jusqu'à une vitesse d'acquisition de mesure, à une distance d'acquisition de mesure, c'est-à-dire à une distance par rapport à ce niveau théorique de pincement égale ou supérieure à la tolérance d'épaisseur de fabrication de la tôle; la vitesse est maintenue à cette vitesse d'acquisition de mesure sur une distance de déplacement au moins égale au double de la distance d'acquisition de mesure; la vitesse de déplacement est ensuite augmentée à nouveau jusqu'à la vitesse de pliage. Elle est enfin réduite et ramenée à zéro à l'approche du point mort bas (ou BDC, Bottom Dead Center).According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the movement of the movable platform takes place at approach speed from top dead center to a safety distance predetermined with respect to the theoretical level of pinching, that is to say the level reached by the deck during its lowering, where the sheet begins to be pinched between punch and matrix, distance where the speed is reduced to a speed of folding; the speed of movement of the deck is again reduced to a measurement acquisition speed, to a measurement acquisition distance, i.e. at a distance relative to this theoretical level of equal pinch or greater than the manufacturing thickness tolerance of the sheet metal; the speed is maintained at this acquisition speed of measurement over a displacement distance at least equal to double the measurement acquisition distance; the speed of displacement is then increased again up to speed folding. It is finally reduced and brought back to zero at approaching bottom dead center (or BDC, Bottom Dead Center).
Pendant que la vitesse du déplacement du tablier mobile est réduite à la vitesse d'acquisition de mesure, le système peut effectuer un grand nombre de cycles de mesure du paramètre physique par unité de longueur de déplacement et peut donc détecter de manière précise le début de la variation de ce paramètre, ainsi que la position précise où la variation du paramètre excède une valeur prédéterminée, ce qui signifie que le poinçon est entré en contact avec la tôle et commence à pincer celle-ci.While the speed of movement of the movable deck is reduced to the measurement acquisition speed, the system can perform a large number of measurement cycles of the physical parameter per unit of travel length and can therefore accurately detect the start of the variation of this parameter, as well as the precise position where the variation of the parameter exceeds a predetermined value, which means that the punch has come into contact with the sheet and is starting to pinch it.
L'électronique de commande détermine l'épaisseur réelle de la tôle pendant que le tablier descend à la vitesse réduite d'acquisition de mesure et recalcule les paramètres de l'opération de pliage, notamment une correction du point mort bas (BDC).Control electronics determine actual thickness sheet metal while the deck descends at reduced speed of measurement acquisition and recalculates the parameters of the folding operation, in particular a correction of the neutral point low (BDC).
La correction du point mort bas comporte une correction géométrique de niveau due à la sur- ou sous-épaisseur de la tôle. De plus, l'épaisseur de la tôle est un paramètre qui détermine dans une large mesure la force de réaction subie par la presse, notamment les montants, lors du pliage, et, partant, la déformation de la presse et l'erreur de pénétration du poinçon qui en résulte. A partir d'essais préliminaires, on peut établir un abaque ou algorithme reliant épaisseur réelle et déformation de la presse et corriger l'erreur de pénétration à partir de la seule mesure de l'épaisseur réelle.The correction of the bottom dead center includes a correction level geometry due to the over- or under-thickness of the sheet metal. In addition, the thickness of the sheet is a parameter which largely determines the reaction force experienced by the press, in particular the uprights, during folding, and, consequently, the distortion of the press and the error of penetration of the resulting punch. From tests preliminary, we can establish an abacus or algorithm linking actual thickness and deformation of the press and correct the penetration error from the single measurement of the actual thickness.
Il est cependant possible de mesurer pendant une opération de pliage à la fois l'épaisseur réelle de la tôle lorsque le pincement commence et la force de réaction subie par la presse au cours du pliage proprement dit et de procéder à la correction de point mort bas à partir de ces deux mesures distinctes.It is however possible to measure during a folding operation both the actual thickness of the sheet when the pinch begins and the reaction force undergone by the press during the actual folding and proceed to the bottom dead center correction from these two measurements separate.
Deux paramètres différents peuvent être utilisés pour déterminer les variations d'épaisseur de la tôle et la flexion subie par un montant. Two different parameters can be used to determine variations in sheet thickness and bending suffered by an amount.
Si l'on choisit, pour déterminer les variations d'épaisseur de la tôle, un paramètre physique qui est également représentatif des déformations géométriques de la presse, ce même paramètre permet à la fois de corriger les variations d'épaisseur de tôle, par la détection d'une variation initiale Δp du paramètre, et la déformation de la presse, par la mesure de la variation maximale du paramètre en cours de pliage.If one chooses, to determine the variations sheet thickness, a physical parameter which is also representative of the geometric deformations of the press, this same parameter allows both to correct the variations in sheet thickness, by detecting a initial variation Δp of the parameter, and the deformation of the press, by measuring the maximum variation of the parameter in folding course.
De préférence, la force subie par les montants sous l'action des moyens de déplacement du tablier est déterminée pendant l'opération de pliage par la mesure du même paramètre physique et comparée avec un diagramme établissant la relation entre force subie par un montant et flexion du dit montant, et la course du coulisseau est également augmentée de façon à compenser les erreurs de pliage dues aux déformations de la presse à partir de cette mesure, en plus de la correction des erreurs dues aux variations d'épaisseur de la tôle.Preferably, the force undergone by the amounts under the action of the means of moving the deck is determined during the folding operation by measuring the same parameter physical and compared with a diagram establishing the relation between force undergone by an amount and bending of said amount, and the slide stroke is also increased so that compensate for bending errors due to deformation of the press from this measurement, in addition to correcting errors due to variations in sheet thickness.
Si les moyens de déplacement de la presse-plieuse comprennent deux vérins hydrauliques associés respectivement à deux montants, la valeur du paramètre physique peut être mesurée au niveau de chaque montant et le dispositif de commande électronique peut corriger indépendamment la course de chaque vérin jusqu'à son point mort bas, ou encore recalculer une valeur de correction commune à partir de ces deux zones de mesure.If the means of movement of the press brake include two hydraulic cylinders associated respectively with two amounts, the value of the physical parameter can be measured at the level of each amount and the electronic control can independently correct the stroke each cylinder to its bottom dead center, or recalculate a common correction value from these two measurement zones.
Le paramètre physique choisi peut être la pression hydraulique régnant dans la partie supérieure d'un vérin.The physical parameter chosen can be the pressure hydraulic prevailing in the upper part of a cylinder.
Le paramètre physique peut également être la contrainte mécanique qu'un vérin exerce sur le tablier mobile.The physical parameter can also be the constraint mechanical that a cylinder exerts on the movable deck.
Le paramètre physique peut également être la distance entre un point de la partie haute et un point de la partie basse du cadre de la presse. The physical parameter can also be the distance between a point in the upper part and a point in the part low of the press frame.
Le paramètre physique peut également être une contrainte mécanique que subit une partie du cadre de la presse.The physical parameter can also be a constraint mechanical that undergoes part of the press frame.
D'autres particularités et avantages de la présente
invention apparaítront dans la description ci-dessous d'un
mode d'exécution en se référant aux figures qui
l'accompagnent, parmi lesquelles
La figure la montre que pour une tôle dont l'épaisseur réelle e+Δe est supérieure à l'épaisseur nominale e, le poinçon P entre en contact plus tôt que ne le prévoit le réglage initial. Si le point mort bas n'est pas corrigé, en l'occurrence vers le haut, le pliage est excessif, comme l'illustre la figure 1b montrant que le pliage réel aboutit à un angle r supérieur à l'angle t théorique d'une tôle d'épaisseur nominale, représentée en lignes pointillées.The figure shows that for a sheet whose thickness real e + Δe is greater than the nominal thickness e, the punch P comes into contact sooner than expected initial setting. If the bottom dead center is not corrected, occurrence upward, folding is excessive, as illustrated in Figure 1b showing that the actual folding results in an angle r greater than the theoretical angle t of a sheet nominal thickness, shown in dotted lines.

détecter la pression à la partie supérieure de chacun d'eux.
Le dispositif de commande électronique est agencé de façon à
traiter les signaux a1 et a2 issus respectivement de chacun
des capteurs de pression et de traiter également deux signaux
b1 et b2 issus des règles de mesure 9 et 9' et représentatifs
des déplacements du tablier mobile par rapport à chacun des
montants 6 et 6'.The press brake shown in Figure 2 has a
movable deck 1 supporting a
Le diagramme de la figure 3 illustre le procédé selon
l'invention. Il montre la vitesse de descente v du tablier
mobile et montre en même temps la variation de la pression
hydraulique p mesurée au niveau d'un capteur de pression 8 ou
8'. La descente s'effectue dans un premier temps à une vitesse
d'approche élevée v1 jusqu'à atteindre une distance
prédéterminée par rapport au niveau où le poinçon vient
théoriquement pincer la tôle, dite distance de sécurité ds. A
ce moment, la vitesse est diminuée jusqu'à une vitesse de
pliage vp, imposée par la composition et l'épaisseur nominale
de la tôle ainsi que par les caractéristiques du pliage
souhaité, angle de pliage et profil d'outil. Cette vitesse
peut être typiquement de l'ordre de 10mm/s. Si l'on désigne
l'épaisseur nominale de la tôle par e, la tolérance sur
l'épaisseur par Δe, l'épaisseur réelle de la tôle sera
comprise dans l'intervalle e ± Δe. Lorsque le poinçon se
trouve à une distance, dite distance d'acquisition de mesure,
dam, du niveau théorique de pincement, légèrement supérieure à
Δe, la vitesse de descente est réduite à une vitesse
d'acquisition de mesure, vam, qui est de l'ordre du 10eme de
la vitesse de pliage vp, soit typiquement 1mm/s.The diagram in Figure 3 illustrates the process according to
the invention. It shows the speed of descent v of the deck
mobile and at the same time shows the variation in pressure
hydraulic p measured at a
Pendant toute la descente, les capteurs de pression 8 et
8' mesurent la pression hydraulique p au niveau de chacun des
vérins 5 et 5' et le dispositif de commande 7 l'enregistre et
la traite. La variation de la pression est représentée (en
unités arbitraires) sur le diagramme de la figure 3. La
réduction de la vitesse v de descente, de la vitesse
d'approche v1 à la vitesse de pliage vp, s'accompagne d'une
légère augmentation de pression concomitante dpl. La valeur de
la pression atteinte alors, pendant la phase de descente à la
vitesse de pliage et avant l'entrée en contact avec la tôle,
est considérée comme valeur de référence pr. de ce paramètre.
Un cycle de mesure de pression de l'ensemble capteur +
dispositif électronique de commande dure environ 10 ms: de la
sorte, pendant que le tablier descend à une vitesse de pliage
vp de l'ordre de 10mm/s, une mesure de la pression est
effectuée tous les 0,1mm; lorsque la vitesse de descente est
réduite à la vitesse d'acquisition de mesure vam, une mesure
de la pression est effectuée tous les 0,01mm. Le dispositif
est donc en mesure de déterminer de manière tres précise le
moment où la pression p augmente à nouveau d'un montant Δp,
représentatif de l'entrée en contact du poinçon avec la face
supérieure de la tôle. On peut choisir une valeur de Δp de
l'ordre de 1 bar. Cette entrée en contact peut se produire à
n'importe quel point situé entre les points représentatifs
respectivement de tôles d'épaisseur e+Δe et e-Δe. La
comparaison du niveau d'entrée en contact avec le niveau
théorique de pincement détermine la différence entre épaisseur
réelle et nominale de la tôle et le dispositif de commande 7
recalcule immédiatement un point mort bas.During the entire descent, the
Après l'entrée en contact, la pression mesurée au niveau
d'un capteur 8, 8' augmente selon une courbe en S jusqu'à
atteindre une valeur pp, pression de pliage, souvent de
l'ordre de 300 bars, au-delà de laquelle elle varie peu. La
différence de valeur pp-pr détermine la déformation des
montants et autres parties de la presse. Le dispositif
électronique de commande 7 compare la valeur de pp ou de (pp-pr)
avec un algorithme spécifique à cette presse-plieuse,
enregistré en mémoire, établissant la relation entre cette
valeur et la déformation des parties fixes de la presse,
conditionnant une erreur de pénétration du poinçon dy. La
course du poinçon peut alors être automatiquement corrigée en
conséquence: la position du point mort bas du coulisseau (BDC)
est ainsi augmentée de la valeur dy au niveau de chaque
montant, de façon à créer un mouvement de pliage indépendant
de la charge de la presse.After contact, the pressure measured at the level
of a
Une fois que le niveau du point réel d'entrée en contact du poinçon avec la tôle est acquis, la descente du tablier mobile peut être poursuivie à la vitesse de pliage, la valeur de dy pouvant être calculée et utilisée pour une correction de BDC pendant que le pliage s'effectue à la vitesse vp.Once the level of the actual point of contact punch with the sheet is acquired, the descent of the apron mobile can be continued at the folding speed, the value de dy which can be calculated and used for a correction of BDC while folding takes place at speed vp.
Sur le diagramme de la figure 3, la vitesse de descente
du tablier re-accélère de la valeur vam à la valeur vp après
avoir parcouru une distance 2 Δe à la vitesse vam. La distance
sur laquelle le tablier descend à la vitesse vam peut
également être programmée à une valeur légèrement supérieure,
par exemple 2xdam. L'accélération pourrait également être
programmée pour intervenir dès que la variation Δp est
détectée. L'homme du métier comprendra aisément que le
mouvement du tablier décrit ci-dessus peut être programmé
selon de nombreuses variantes sans sortir du cadre de
l'invention: la variation de la vitesse entre les points ds et
dam peut être programmée différemment. La vitesse peut par
exemple passer directement de la vitesse d'approche rapide v1
à la vitesse lente d'acquisition de mesure vam sans être
maintenue à une valeur constante intermédiaire vp. En d'autres
termes, dans ce cas, ds=dam.In the diagram in Figure 3, the descent speed
of the apron re-accelerates from the vam value to the vp value after
having traveled a
La pression hydraulique de l'huile au sommet des vérins est un paramètre représentatif de l'ensemble des phénomènes et aisé à mesurer avec des capteurs en soi connus. Il présente de plus l'avantage de pouvoir être corrélé à la fois avec l'entrée en contact du poinçon avec la tôle et avec la déformation maximale de la presse-plieuse pendant l'opération en cours.Hydraulic oil pressure at the top of the cylinders is a parameter representative of all the phenomena and easy to measure with known sensors. It presents plus the advantage of being able to be correlated with both the entry of the punch into contact with the sheet and with the maximum deformation of the press brake during operation In progress.
Toutefois, l'homme du métier comprendra aisément que d'autres paramètres physiques mesurables peuvent représenter l'ensemble ou une partie du processus. Pendant la descente du tablier mobile, avant l'entrée en contact avec la tôle, le tablier et le poinçon sont suspendus et exercent du fait de leur poids une force dirigée vers le bas sur le cadre de la presse. Au moment de l'entrée en contact avec la tôle, la résultante des forces change de sens du fait de la force de réaction.However, those skilled in the art will readily understand that other measurable physical parameters may represent all or part of the process. During the descent of movable deck, before coming into contact with the sheet, the apron and punch are suspended and exert due to their weight a force directed downward on the frame of the hurry. At the time of contact with the sheet, the resulting from the forces changes direction due to the force of reaction.
A titre d'exemples non limitatifs de paramètres mesurables, on peut citer:
- la contrainte mécanique qu'un vérin exerce sur le tablier mobile peut être mesurée à l'aide de jauges de contrainte. Cette contrainte présente un saut de valeur lorsque le poinçon entre en contact avec la tôle, qui se traduit par une variation mesurable de quelques mV, pour atteindre ensuite une valeur maximale, de l'ordre du Volt, qui peut être corrélée à la déformation de la presse.
- La distance entre un élément de la partie haute et un élément de la partie basse du cadre de la presse peut être mesurée par des capteurs électromécaniques, en soi connus, capables de détecter des variations de distance de l'ordre du um. Le début de la variation du signal électrique est représentatif de l'entrée en contact du poinçon avec la tôle.
- On peut également mesurer par jauges de contrainte, la contrainte mécanique que subit une partie du cadre, plutôt que de mesurer la contrainte mécanique entre vérins et tablier mobile.
- the mechanical stress that a cylinder exerts on the movable deck can be measured using strain gauges. This constraint presents a jump in value when the punch comes into contact with the sheet, which results in a measurable variation of a few mV, to then reach a maximum value, of the order of Volt, which can be correlated with the deformation of the press.
- The distance between an element in the upper part and an element in the lower part of the press frame can be measured by electromechanical sensors, known per se, capable of detecting variations in distance of the order of µm. The start of the variation of the electrical signal is representative of the entry into contact of the punch with the sheet.
- It is also possible to measure, by strain gauges, the mechanical stress which a part of the frame undergoes, rather than measuring the mechanical stress between jacks and movable bulkhead.
