Abstract

A method of operating a bending press, in particular an edging press, and a bending press for carrying out this method. For each drive of a drive arrangement, the actual pressing force is detected for the displaceable press beam during a bending process for the workpiece and a relative position of the pressing tool or tools by reference to the longitudinal extension of the press beams is determined on the basis of a force ratio. Different displacement paths of the drives and the displaceable press beam at the respective force-application point of the drive are then determined in an evaluation and/or computer unit, which is provided with a data memory for production and machine data, and corresponding control signals for the drive system are generated in the control unit and actuator elements of the drives are displaced by the displacement paths determined for each drive.

Aus dem Dokument JP 06-328137 A ist eine Abkantpresse mit einem feststehenden und einem über zumindest zwei insbesonders durch Hydraulikzylinder gebildete Antriebe verstellbaren mit Biegewerkzeugen bestückbaren Pressenbalken bekannt. Weiters weist die bekannte Abkantpresse eine Steuer- und Regelvorrichtung und Erfassungsmittel auf, mittels der eine exzentrische Belastung, die eine unsymmetrische Verformung der Biegebalken hervorruft, ermittelt wird und aus dieser Belastung gemäß der Steuer- und Regeleinrichtung bzw. in einem Speicher hinterlegter maschinenbezogenen Daten, das Ausmaß der Verformung mittels dieser Daten ermittelt und der Verstellvorgang unter Berücksichtigung der durch die Verformung kalkulierten Abweichung auf eine zur Erzielung eines vorgegebenen Biegewinkels am Werkstück, also auf eine theoretisch vorgegebene Eintauchtiefe der Biegewerkzeuge durchgeführt, wobei Korrekturmaßnahmen in der Verstellung des verstellbaren Biegebalkens während des Umformvorganges, also in Realzeit, von der Steuer- und Regelvorrichtung und den dementsprechend angesteuerten Antrieben vorgenommen werden. Nach dieser bekannten Ausbildung wird der verstellbare Biegebalken mit den Biegewerkzeugen in Bezug auf den mit den Biegewerkzeugen bestückten feststehenden Biegebalken auf eine theoretische Eintauchtiefe verstellt.From the document JP 06-328137 A, a press brake with a fixed and an over at least two especially formed by hydraulic cylinder drives adjustable equipped with bending tools press bar is known. Furthermore, the known press brake on a control and regulating device and detection means, by means of which an eccentric load, which causes an asymmetrical deformation of the bending beam, is determined and from this load according to the control and regulating device or stored in a memory machine-related data, the Determining the extent of deformation by means of these data and the adjustment process taking into account the deviation calculated by the deformation to a given to achieve a predetermined bending angle on the workpiece, ie a theoretically predetermined immersion depth of the bending tools, with corrective measures in the adjustment of the adjustable bending beam during the forming process, So in real time, be made by the control and regulating device and the accordingly driven drives. According to this known embodiment of the adjustable bending beam is adjusted with the bending tools with respect to the fitted with the bending tools fixed bending beam to a theoretical immersion depth.

Aus der DE 693 09 610 T2 sind ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Messen und Einstellen der Preßkräfte an einer Presse bekannt. Nach diesem Verfahren und der Vorrichtung werden Preßkraftwerte gemessen und eingestellt, um eine vorbestimmte lokale Lastverteilung zu erreichen, um die gewünschte örtliche Belastungsverteilung ungeachtet der spezifischen Kenndaten der Presse festzusetzen.From DE 693 09 610 T2 a method and an apparatus for measuring and adjusting the pressing forces on a press are known. According to this method and apparatus, pressing force values are measured and adjusted to achieve a predetermined local load distribution to set the desired local load distribution regardless of the specific characteristics of the press.

Allgemeiner Stand der Technik ist es weiters, zur Erzielung exakter Umformwinkel an einem auf einer Biegepresse, insbesondere auf einer Abkantpresse gefertigten Werkteil mittels Meßverfahren nach erfolgtem Umformen das Werkteil insbesondere den Biegewinkel zu messen und nach der mittels eines Wegemeßsystems erfaßten Eintauchtiefe der Preßwerkzeuge eine erforderliche Korrektur des Biegewinkels durch Veränderung der Eintauchtiefe vorzunehmen, um damit für nachfolgende Umformvorgänge den vorgegebenen Biegewinkel zu erreichen. Nach einer derartigen Vorgangsweise, bei der das Wegemeßsystem zur Berücksichtigung der kraftabhängigen Auffederung der C-förmigen Maschinen-Seitenständer auf einem eigenen Hilfsrahmen angeordnet ist, fallen Produktionsmängel durch das ebenfalls kraftbedingte und von der Position des Arbeitsbereiches am Pressenbalken abhängige Biegeverhalten der Pressenbalken an.In order to achieve exact forming angles on a work piece produced on a bending press, in particular on a press brake, the work piece is to measure the bending angle, in particular, by means of measuring methods after the forming has been completed, and after the insertion depth of the pressing tools detected by a distance measuring system, a necessary correction of the Bending angle by changing the immersion depth in order to allow for subsequent forming operations the predetermined bending angle to reach. After such an approach, in which the Wegemeßsystem is arranged to take into account the force-dependent springing of the C-shaped machine side stand on its own subframe, fall production defects due to the force-related and dependent on the position of the working area on the press bar bending behavior of the press bars.

Aus der DE 39 21 034 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Vermeidung von Ungenauigkeiten bei der Produktion, bedingt durch das Biegeverhalten der Pressenbalken, bekannt, durch die die auftretenden Biegelinien der zusammenwirkenden Pressenbalken in etwa zum Zeitpunkt der maximalen, für den Biegewinkel des Werkteiles erforderlichen Eintauchtiefe der Werkzeuge in etwa parallel bzw. konzentrisch zueinander verlaufen. Damit kann jedoch eine durch eine außermittige Belastung unsymmetrische Biegelinie nicht berücksichtigt werden, wodurch es zu Produktionsausfällen durch Ausschuß kommen kann oder aber vorteilhafte Fertigungsmöglichkeiten, die vielfach bei einem außermittigen Einsatz der Preßwerkzeuge gegeben sind, ausscheiden.From DE 39 21 034 A1 discloses a device for preventing inaccuracies in the production, due to the bending behavior of the press beams, known by the occurring bending lines of the cooperating press bars approximately at the time of maximum, required for the bending angle of the workpiece submergence depth of Tools in approximately parallel or concentric to each other. However, this can not take into account unbalanced bending stress due to an eccentric load, which can lead to production losses due to rejects or to eliminate advantageous production possibilities which are often given in the case of off-center use of the pressing tools.

Aufgabe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es, Verstellwege einer zumindest zwei Antriebe aufweisenden Antriebsanordnung in Abhängigkeit von durch die Preßkräfte bedingten Verformungen sowohl des Maschinengestells wie auch der zusammenwirkenden Pressenbalken zu steuern.The object of the method according to the invention is to control adjustment paths of a drive arrangement having at least two drives as a function of deformations of both the machine frame and the interacting press beams caused by the pressing forces.

Diese Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Der überraschende Vorteil dabei ist, daß unabhängig von der relativen Lage des Arbeits- bzw. Umformbereiches in bezug auf die Längserstreckung der Pressenbalken und der damit auftretenden ungleichmäßigen Verteilung der Preßkräfte auf die Antriebe die asymmetrische Biegelinien der Pressenbalken, aber auch unterschiedliche Auffederungen der zueinander distanzierten und die Antriebe aufweisenden Seitenständer zur Folge haben, diese die Fertigungsqualität beeinflussenden Faktoren durch Regelung des Verstellweges für den jeweiligen Antrieb in Abhängigkeit dieses belastungsspezifischen Verformungsverhaltens ausgeglichen werden und die für die Qualität der Umformung maßgebende, über einen gesamten Umformbereich gleichmäßig verlaufende Eintauchtiefe der Preßwerkzeuge erreicht wird.This object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1. The surprising advantage is that regardless of the relative position of the working or forming area with respect to the longitudinal extent of the press beams and the resulting uneven distribution of the compressive forces on the drives the asymmetric bending lines of the press bars, but also different suspensions of each distanced and have the drives having side stand result, these production quality affecting factors are compensated by regulating the adjustment for the respective drive in response to this load-specific deformation behavior and the decisive for the quality of deformation, uniform over a whole forming range immersion depth of the dies is achieved.

Vorteilhaft ist dabei eine Ausbildung nach Anspruch 2, weil dadurch eine rasche Anpassung von Verstellwegen in den Antrieben zur Korrektur einer auftretenden winkeligen Lage der Biegewerkzeuge zueinander erreicht wird.In this case, an embodiment according to claim 2 is advantageous, because a rapid adaptation of adjustment paths in the drives for correcting an angular position that occurs is advantageous Bending tools is achieved to each other.

Vorteilhaft ist aber auch eine Ausbildung nach Anspruch 3, weil dadurch die effektiven Belastungszustände in einer Realberechnung in Maßnahmen zur Verstellung der Antriebe umgesetzt werden und Ungenauigkeiten, die sich aufgrund einer Abstufung in einer Matrix ergeben, ausgeschaltet werden.But also advantageous is an embodiment according to claim 3, because thereby the effective load conditions are implemented in a real calculation in measures for adjusting the drives and inaccuracies resulting from a gradation in a matrix are turned off.

Möglich ist auch eine Maßnahme, wie im Anspruch 4 beschrieben, weil dadurch werkstoffspezifische Daten zur Verfügung stehen und damit eine Anpassung der Fertigungsparameter an die jeweils zu bearbeitenden Werkstoffe rasch erfolgt.Also possible is a measure as described in claim 4, because this material-specific data are available and thus an adaptation of the manufacturing parameters to the respective materials to be processed quickly.

Vorteilhaft sind auch Maßnahmen nach den Ansprüchen 5 und 6, wodurch maschinenspezifische Daten direkt in die Bestimmung der Verstellwege der Antriebe eingehen und damit ein Ausgleich der Maschinenverformung erfolgt.Also advantageous are measures according to claims 5 and 6, which machine-specific data received directly into the determination of the adjustment of the drives and thus takes place a compensation of the machine deformation.

Vorteilhaft sind weiters Maßnahmen, wie in den Ansprüchen 7 und 8 beschrieben, womit die Ermittlung der Verstellwege je Antrieb über Momentanwertberechnung erfolgt, wodurch umfangreiche Dateien, die zeitaufwendige Suchvorgänge nach sich ziehen, vermieden werden und die Ergebnisse darüber hinaus den effektiv auftretenden Belastungen und den damit verbundenen Verformungen des Maschinenständers, Pressenbalken, also den kraftbedingten Auswirkungen auf die Biegepresse entsprechen.Further measures are advantageous, as described in claims 7 and 8, whereby the determination of the adjustment paths per drive via instantaneous value calculation, whereby extensive files, the time-consuming searches entail, be avoided and the results beyond the effectively occurring loads and thus associated deformations of the machine stand, press beams, so correspond to the force-related effects on the bending press.

Gemäß der vorteilhaften, im Anspruch 9 beschriebenen Maßnahme wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, nach den Ergebnissen der Verformungsmessungen an wesentlichen Maschinenteilen, wie den Ständer-Seitenwangen, die Kräfteaufteilung auf die Antriebe zu ermitteln und damit die daraus resultierenden und zu erwartenden Verformungen und mit den hinterlegten Maschinendaten oder nach rechnerischen Methoden mit den vorgegebenen Algorithmen die erforderlichen Steuerfunktionen, wie z. B. Bestimmung der unterschiedlichen Verstellwege je Antrieb zu generieren.According to the advantageous measure described in claim 9, the possibility is created, based on the results of the deformation measurements on essential machine parts, such as the stator side walls, to determine the distribution of forces on the drives and thus the resulting and expected deformations and the stored machine data or by computational methods with the given algorithms, the required control functions, such. B. to determine the different adjustment paths per drive.

Nach den weiteren vorteilhaften Maßnahmen, wie in den Ansprüchen 10 und 11 beschrieben, wird eine permanente Überwachung mit Gegenkontrolle des gesamten Fertigungsablaufes durch den Ist-/Sollvergleich der wesentlichsten, für die Fertigungsqualität maßgebenden Einflüsse erreicht.According to the further advantageous measures, as described in the claims 10 and 11, a permanent monitoring with counter-control of the entire manufacturing process by the actual / target comparison of the most essential, decisive for the manufacturing quality influences is achieved.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es auch, eine Biegepresse zu schaffen, bei der Maschinenverformungen, wie sie kraftbedingt bei einem Umformvorgang auftreten, durch geeignete Gegenmaßnahmen ausgeglichen werden, um die Fertigungsqualität zu steigern.The object of the invention is also to provide a bending press, are compensated by suitable countermeasures in the machine deformation, as they occur due to the force in a forming process to increase the quality of manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 12 gelöst. Der überraschende Vorteil dabei ist, daß abhängig von der Position der Umformwerkzeuge und der damit unterschiedlichen Belastungsverteilung des Maschinengestells Verstellwege der Antriebe unabhängig voneinander verfahren werden und damit der verstellbare Pressenbalken beim Arbeitshub Abweichungen in der Position der zusammenwirkenden Preßwerkzeuge, die sich durch eine Maschinenverformung ergibt, ausgleicht.This object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 12. The surprising advantage of this is that depending on the position of the forming tools and thus different load distribution of the machine frame adjustment paths of the drives are moved independently of each other and thus the adjustable press bar during the working stroke compensates for deviations in the position of the cooperating press tools, which results from a machine deformation ,

Schließlich sind auch Ausbildungen, wie in den Ansprüchen 13 und 14 beschrieben vorteilhaft, wodurch eine Überwachung der Istwerte der Verstellwege zu Sollwerten aus der Vorgabe erreicht wird und Korrekturmaßnahmen gesetzt und bei nachfolgenden Arbeitsoperationen zur Optimierung des Fertigungsprozesses vorliegen.Finally, embodiments as described in claims 13 and 14 are advantageous, whereby a monitoring of the actual values of the adjustment paths to target values from the specification is achieved and set corrective action and present in subsequent operations to optimize the manufacturing process.

To achieve the highest possible product quality, a number of factors dependent on the production device 1 are to be taken into account. The quality of the forming depends decisively from a over the entire Umformlänge or a tool length uniformly extending immersion depth of the cooperating tools, which is influenced by force-induced deformation of the manufacturing device 1, such as a springing or bending deformation of essential parts of the press brake 2.

Ein Maschinengestell 5 der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei parallel und im Abstand zueinander angeordneten, C-förmig gestalteten Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7, die z.B. bei besonderen Aufstellungsbedingungen zur Schwingungsdämpfung über Dämpfungselemente oder vorwiegend direkt auf einer Aufstandsfläche 9 abgestützt oder, wie auch möglich, auf einer gemeinsamen Bodenplatte 10 befestigt, insbesondere mit dieser verschweißt sind. Weiters sind die Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 miteinander in einem Abstand 11 durch zu einer Mittelebene 12 senkrecht verlaufende Wandteile 13 verbunden.A machine frame 5 of the production device 1 consists essentially of two parallel and spaced apart, C-shaped stator side cheeks 6, 7, which are e.g. in particular installation conditions for vibration damping via damping elements or predominantly supported directly on a footprint 9 or, as possible, attached to a common base plate 10, in particular welded to this. Furthermore, the stator side walls 6, 7 are connected to one another at a distance 11 by wall parts 13 running perpendicular to a center plane 12.

In bezug auf eine zu der Aufstandsfläche 9 parallel verlaufenden Arbeitsebene 14 weist die Fertigungseinrichtung 1 zwei einander gegenüberliegende Pressenbalken 15, 16 auf, die sich über eine Länge 17 erstrecken, die generell von der vorgesehenen Maschinengröße bzw. der vorgesehenen Arbeitslänge für das Biegen der Blechteile 3, z.B. zu den Gehäuseteilen 4, festgelegt ist.With respect to a working plane 14 extending parallel to the footprint 9, the manufacturing device 1 comprises two opposing press beams 15, 16 which extend over a length 17, generally of the intended machine size or working length for bending the sheet metal parts 3 , eg to the housing parts 4, is fixed.

Der der Aufstandsfläche 9 zugewandte Pressenbalken 15 ist über eine Stütz- und/oder Befestigungsanordnung 19 am Maschinengestell 5, bevorzugt direkt an Stirnflächen 20 von der Bodenplatte 10 zugeordneten Schenkeln 21 der C-förmigen Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 durch Schraubbolzen oder Schweißung befestigt. An Stirnflächen 22 der von der Aufstandsfläche 9 beabstandeten Schenkeln 23 sind gegebenenfalls zur Aufstandsfläche 9 in einer senkrechten Ebene verlaufende Schildplatten 24 angeordnet, die bevorzugt durch Schweißnähte mit den Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 verbunden sind. Diese Schildplatten 24 bzw. die Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 sind mit Führungsanordnungen 25 versehen, über welche der weitere, dem Pressenbalken 15 in bezug auf die Arbeitsebene 14 gegenüberliegende Pressenbalken 16 - gemäß einem Doppelpfeil 26 - mittels einer Antriebsanordnung 27 verstellbar gelagert ist. Die Antriebsanordnung 27 besteht im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei jeweils in Endbereichen 28, 29 des Pressenbalkens 16 anwirkende Antriebe 30, z.B. mit einem Druckmedium, insbesondere einem Hydrauliköl, beaufschlagbare, doppelt wirkende Zylinder, die einerseits auf den Schildplatten 24 befestigt und Stellelemente 31, z.B. Kolbenstangen, mit dem Pressenbalken 16 in einer Antriebsverbindung, insbesondere über Gelenklager 32, bewegungsverbunden sind. Die Erfindung ist allerdings nicht auf die hier im Detail beschriebene Antriebsanordnung 27 mit den durch Zylinder gebildeten Antrieben 30 beschränkt. Selbstverständlich können anstelle der zwei gezeigten Antriebe 30 auch mehrere derartige Antriebe 30 zur Verstellung des Pressenbalkens 16 eingesetzt sein, wie auch die Antriebe 30 durch andere Arten von Linearantrieben, z.B. mittels elektrisch oder hydraulisch angetriebener Spindeltriebe, gebildet sein, wie auch Exzentertriebe möglich sind.The contact surface 9 facing the press beam 15 is attached via a support and / or mounting assembly 19 on the machine frame 5, preferably directly to end faces 20 of the bottom plate 10 associated legs 21 of the C-shaped stator side walls 6, 7 by bolts or welding. At the end faces 22 of the spaced apart from the footprint 9 legs 23 shield plates 24 are optionally arranged to the footprint 9 in a vertical plane, which are preferably connected by welds with the stator side walls 6, 7. These shield plates 24 and the stator side walls 6, 7 are provided with guide assemblies 25, via which the other, the press beam 15 with respect to the working plane 14 opposite press beams 16 - according to a double arrow 26 - is mounted adjustable by means of a drive assembly 27. The drive assembly 27 consists in the illustrated embodiment of two in each case in end regions 28, 29 of the press bar 16 acting actuators 30, for example with a pressure medium, in particular a hydraulic oil, acted upon, double-acting cylinder, on the one hand mounted on the shield plates 24 and adjusting elements 31, eg piston rods , are connected to the press bar 16 in a drive connection, in particular via spherical plain bearings 32, for movement. However, the invention is not limited to the drive arrangement described in detail herein 27 restricted with the drives 30 formed by cylinders. Of course, instead of the two drives 30 shown, a plurality of such drives 30 can be used for adjusting the press bar 16, as well as the drives 30 by other types of linear drives, for example by means of electrically or hydraulically driven spindle drives, be formed, as well as eccentric are possible.

Einander zugewandte und zur Arbeitsebene 14 parallel verlaufende Stirnflächen 33, 34 der Pressenbalken 15, 16 weisen Werkzeugaufnahmen 35 zur Abstützung und lösbaren Befestigung von Biegewerkzeugen 36, 37 auf. Wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, bilden diese Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 im allgemeinen ein Biegegesenk 39 und einen Biegestempel 40 aus. Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es weiters bekannt, die Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 in Sektionen zu unterteilen, wodurch sich eine leichte Variierbarkeit für eine Werkzeuglänge 41 ergibt, um diese den jeweiligen Erfordernissen anpassen zu können bzw. auch, um die Umrüstung der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 oder den Austausch der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 einfacher vornehmen zu können.Facing one another and extending parallel to the working plane 14 end faces 33, 34 of the press beams 15, 16 have tool holders 35 for supporting and releasable attachment of bending tools 36, 37. As is known from the prior art, these bending tools 36, 37 generally form a bending die 39 and a bending punch 40. From the prior art, it is also known to divide the bending tools 36, 37 into sections, resulting in an easy variability for a tool length 41, in order to adapt to the respective requirements can or to the conversion of the manufacturing device 1 or the exchange of bending tools 36, 37 easier to make.

Die Werkzeugaufnahmen 35 in den Pressenbalken 15, 16 sind einerseits zur lösbaren Befestigung der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 ausgebildet, andererseits bilden sie Stützflächen 42 zur Übertragung der Biegekräfte - gemäß Pfeile 43 - aus.The tool holders 35 in the press beams 15, 16 are on the one hand designed for releasably securing the bending tools 36, 37, on the other hand they form support surfaces 42 for transmitting the bending forces - according to arrows 43 - from.

Der unterhalb der Arbeitsebene 14 angeordnete Pressenbalken 15 ist direkt an den Stirnflächen 20 der der Bodenplatte 10 zugeordneten Schenkel 21 befestigt, wodurch sich in bezug auf die Mittelebene 12 eine symmetrische Verankerung des Pressenbalkens 15 am Maschinengestell 5 ausbildet und sich ein konstruktiv einfacher und materialsparender Aufbau ergibt. Bei der nur beispielhaft beschriebenen Ausbildung einer zu einer lösbaren Befestigung des feststehenden Pressenbalkens 15 wird die Stütz- und/oder Befestigungsanordnung 19 z.B. durch massive, mit den Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 verschweißte Bolzen 44 gebildet, auf die der Pressenbalken 15 mit in diesem angeordneten Bohrungen aufgeschoben und z.B. mittels Gewindemuttern 45 festgespannt wird. Als Stütz- und/oder Befestigungsanordnung 19 ist jedoch auch eine Schweißverbindung anzusehen, über die der Pressenbalken 15 unlösbar mit den Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 verbunden sein kann.The arranged below the working plane 14 press beam 15 is attached directly to the end faces 20 of the bottom plate 10 associated leg 21, whereby with respect to the center plane 12, a symmetrical anchoring of the press beam 15 on the machine frame 5 forms and results in a structurally simple and material-saving construction , In the exemplary embodiment of forming a releasable attachment of the stationary press beam 15, the support and / or mounting assembly 19 is e.g. formed by solid, bolted to the stator side walls 6, 7 bolt 44, on which the press beam 15 is pushed with arranged in this holes and, for. is tightened by means of threaded nuts 45. However, as a support and / or mounting arrangement 19, a welded connection is also to be considered, via which the press beam 15 can be connected inseparably to the stator side cheeks 6, 7.

Wie bereits erwähnt, wird im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel die Antriebsanordnung durch ein hydraulisches Energieversorgungssystem 46 und die Antriebe 30 durch doppelt wirkende Hydraulikzylinder 47 gebildet. Weiters weist die Fertigungsanlage 1 eine mit einer Energiequelle 48, z.B. einem Stromnetz, leitungsverbundene Steuereinrichtung 49 und eine mit dieser leitungsverbundene Meßeinrichtung 50 auf, an die externe Erfassungsmittel 51, z.B. Kraftmeß-, Druckmeß-, Energiemeß-, Dehnungsmeß-Sensoren etc., angeschlossen sind. Zur Versorgung mit einem Druckmedium weist die Fertigungseinrichtung 1, wie schematisch dargestellt, ein Hydraulikaggregat 52 bestehend aus einem Tank 53 für das Druckmedium, eine Hydraulikpumpe 54 und erforderliche Steuer- und Schalteinrichtungen 55 auf. Die Steuereinrichtung 49 umfaßt weiters eine mit einem Datenspeicher 56 bestückte Auswerte- und/oder Recheneinheit 57. Selbstverständlich ist weiters mit der Steuereinrichtung 49 leitungsverbunden ein bevorzugt externes, mit Eingabe- und/oder Melde- und/oder Überwachungsmittel bestücktes Steuerterminal 58 vorgesehen.As already mentioned, in the exemplary embodiment described, the drive arrangement is formed by a hydraulic energy supply system 46 and the drives 30 by double-acting hydraulic cylinders 47. Furthermore, the manufacturing plant 1 with a Power source 48, such as a power grid, line-connected control device 49 and a line connected to this measuring device 50, to the external detection means 51, eg Kraftmeß-, Druckmeß-, Energiemeß-, Dehnungsmeß sensors, etc., are connected. For the supply of a pressure medium, the production device 1, as shown schematically, a hydraulic unit 52 consisting of a tank 53 for the pressure medium, a hydraulic pump 54 and required control and switching devices 55 on. The control device 49 further includes an evaluation and / or arithmetic unit 57 equipped with a data memory 56. Of course, a control terminal 58, preferably externally equipped with input and / or signaling and / or monitoring means, is further provided with the control device 49.

Anhand der in den Fig. 1 und 2 beispielhaft beschriebenen erfindungsgemäßen Fertigungseinrichtung 1 wird nachfolgend das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Betrieb der Fertigungseinrichtung 1, insbesondere der Abkantpresse 2, als ein bevorzugtes Verfahren beschrieben.The method according to the invention for operating the production device 1, in particular the press brake 2, will be described below as a preferred method with reference to the production device 1 according to the invention described by way of example in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Für die Optimierung eines Fertigungsvorganges für die Umformung des Blechteiles 3 zu einem Gehäuseteil 4 ist es vielfach zweckmäßig, die Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37, sofern die Werkzeuglänge 41 kleiner ist als die Länge 17 der Pressenbalken 15, 16, außermittig, also zur Mittelebene 12 seitlich versetzt anzuordnen. Damit wird vielfach eine leichtere Bedienbarkeit und damit ein schnelleres Handling in der Fertigung erreicht.For the optimization of a manufacturing process for the transformation of the sheet metal part 3 to a housing part 4, it is often useful, the bending tools 36, 37, provided that the tool length 41 is smaller than the length 17 of the press beams 15, 16, off-center, so laterally offset to the center plane 12 to arrange. This is often easier usability and thus faster handling in production achieved.

Dadurch bedingt treten bei der Umformung des Blechteils 3 außermittige Belastungen an der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 ein, die durch unterschiedlich große Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59,60 - entstehen. Entsprechend der Kräfte-Momentberechnung errechnen sich die Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - aus einer erforderlichen Umformkraft - gemäß Pfeil 61 - für die Umformung des Blechteiles 3 und dem Verhältnis der Abstände der Wirkungslinien der Preßkräfte zur Wirkungslinie der Umformkraft.As a result, occur during the deformation of the sheet metal part 3 off-center loads on the manufacturing facility 1, which by differently sized pressing forces - according to arrows 59,60 - arise. According to the force-moment calculation, the pressing forces - according to arrows 59, 60 - calculated from a required forming force - according to arrow 61 - for the deformation of the sheet metal part 3 and the ratio of the distances of the lines of action of the pressing forces to the line of action of the forming force.

Die für die Umformung des Blechteils 3 aufzuwendende Umformkraft - gemäß Pfeil 61 - kann einerseits empirisch oder rechnerisch ermittelt und damit vorgegeben sein oder aber, wie bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 und des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens während der Umformung durch die Erfassungsmittel 51 im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel, im Energieversorgungssystem 46 und konkret in Zuleitungen 62 für das Druckmedium zu den Hydraulikzylindern 47 als Erfassungsmittel 51 vorgesehene Drucksensoren 63 ermittelt werden. Damit ist es möglich, die effektiv auftretenden Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - unmittelbar bei Vornahme des Umformvorganges festzustellen und diese in der Auswerte- und/oder Recheneinheit 57 zu digitalisieren und damit in einer im Datenspeicher 56 hinterlegten Belastungs-Verformungsmatrix die belastungsabhängigen Auswirkungen auf das Maschinengestell 5, insbesondere die Auffederung der Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 und die Verformung der Pressenbalken 15, 16 zu zuordnen.The forming force to be used for forming the sheet-metal part 3 -according to arrow 61 -can on the one hand be determined empirically or mathematically and thus predetermined or, as in the case of the inventive construction of the production device 1 and of the method according to the invention during the transformation by the detection means 51 in the described embodiment, in the power supply system 46 and concretely in supply lines 62 for the pressure medium to the hydraulic cylinders 47 provided as detection means 51 pressure sensors 63 are determined. This makes it possible, the effectively occurring pressing forces - according to Arrows 59, 60 - determine immediately when the forming process and digitizing them in the evaluation and / or arithmetic unit 57 and thus in a stored in the data memory 56 load-deformation matrix, the load-dependent effects on the machine frame 5, in particular the springing of the stator side walls 6, 7 and the deformation of the press beams 15, 16 to assign.

Diese Belastungs-Verformungsmatrix kann sowohl rechnerisch als auch empirisch für die jeweilige Type der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 als maschinenabhängige Datei erstellt werden und enthält die jeweiligen Verformungswerte bzw. unmittelbare Korrekturfaktoren für die Verstellwege der Antriebe zum Ausgleich und zur Erzielung einer parallelen Lage der Biegewerkzeuge. Diese Korrekturfaktoren sind nach den belastungsabhängigen Verformungen erstellt und berücksichtigen im wesentlichen die jeweilige relative Lage der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 in bezug auf die Längserstreckung der Pressenbalken 15, 16, die aus dem Verhältnis der Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - ermittelt wird, und eine wirksame Werkzeuglänge bzw. eine für das Umformen des Blechteiles 3 bekannte Umformlänge 64. Diese Korrekturfaktoren generieren Steuersignale für eine von der Steuer- und Schalteinrichtung 55 umfaßte Wegesteuer- und Regelvorrichtung 65, z.B. eine proportionale Wegesteuerung, welche jedem der Antriebe 30 den entsprechenden Verstellweg zum Ausgleich der Verformungen und Erzielung einer über die gesamte Umformlänge 64 gleichmäßigen Eintauchtiefe der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 zuweist.This load-deformation matrix can be created both mathematically and empirically for the respective type of production device 1 as a machine-dependent file and contains the respective deformation values or direct correction factors for the adjustment paths of the drives to compensate for and achieve a parallel position of the bending tools. These correction factors are created according to the load-dependent deformations and take into account substantially the respective relative position of the bending tools 36, 37 with respect to the longitudinal extent of the press beams 15, 16, which is determined from the ratio of the pressing forces - according to arrows 59, 60 - and a effective tool length or a known for forming the sheet metal part 3 forming length 64. These correction factors generate control signals for one of the control and switching device 55 encompassed way control and regulating device 65, eg a proportional path control, which assigns each of the drives 30 the corresponding adjustment path to compensate for the deformations and achieving a uniform over the entire forming length 64 immersion depth of the bending tools 36, 37.

Nach einer weiteren Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es möglich, anstelle der im Datenspeicher hinterlegten Belastungs-Verformungsmatrix nach in der Auswerte- und/oder Recheneinheit 57 hinterlegten Algorithmen die kraftbedingten Verformungen, wie Auffederung der Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 und Biegung der Pressenbalken 15, 16 für die jeweils auftretenden Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - und Position der Biegewerkzeuge rechnerisch zu ermitteln und den Verstellweg je Antrieb 30 zum Ausgleich der belastungsbedingten Verformungen zu bestimmen, wonach über die Wegesteuer- und Regelvorrichtung 65 die Verstellung der Antriebe 30 veranlaßt wird.According to a further variant of the method according to the invention, instead of the load-deformation matrix stored in the data memory according to algorithms stored in the evaluation and / or arithmetic unit 57, the force-induced deformations, such as springing of the stator side cheeks 6, 7 and bending of the press beams 15, 16 for the respective compressive forces occurring - according to arrows 59, 60 - and to determine the position of the bending tools and to determine the adjustment path per drive 30 to compensate for the load-related deformations, after which via the Wegesteuer- and control device 65, the adjustment of the drives 30 is caused.

Selbstverständlich besteht weiters die Möglichkeit, die Fertigungseinrichtung 1 mit einem Wegemeßsystem 66 auszurüsten, wozu verschiedene, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Möglichkeiten, wie z.B. elektro-optische Wegemeßeinrichtungen, Laser- Wegemeßeinrichtungen etc., angewendet werden können, um damit die vorgegebenen bzw. ermittelten Verstellwege zu vergleichen, um gegebenenfalls in einem Regelkreis Nachsteuerungsmaßnahmen zu veranlassen. Wichtig bei derartigen Wegemeßeinrichtungen 66 ist die Ausschaltung von Meßfehlern, bedingt durch die Verformung, d.h., daß eine derartige Wegemeßeinrichtung 66 die Realwerte ermittelt.Of course, there is also the possibility of equipping the manufacturing device 1 with a Wegemeßsystem 66, including various known from the prior art options, such as electro-optical Wegemeßeinrichtungen, Laser Wegemeßeinrichtungen, etc., can be applied to order the predetermined or determined Adjust adjustment paths, if necessary in a control loop readjustments to induce. Important in such Wegemeßeinrichtungen 66 is the elimination of measurement errors due to the deformation, ie, that such Wegemeßeinrichtung 66 determines the real values.

Eine weitere Ausführungsvariante bzw. zusätzliche Möglichkeiten zur Erfassung der Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - besteht in der Anordnung von Dehnungsmeß-Sensoren 67, z.B. an den Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7.A further embodiment or additional possibilities for detecting the pressing forces - according to arrows 59, 60 - consists in the arrangement of strain gauges 67, e.g. on the stator side walls 6, 7.

In der Fig. 3 ist schematisch und überzeichnet die Situation, wie sie sich aufgrund der kraftbedingten Durchbiegung der Pressenbalken 15, 16 bei außermittiger Anordnung der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 bei einer Abkantpresse 2 ergibt, dargestellt. Bei einer derartigen Anordnung treten ausgehend von der erforderlichen Umformkraft - gemäß Pfeil 61 - die nach dem Momentensatz zu errechnenden Preßkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - in unterschiedlicher Größe auf, die von den Antrieben 30 aufzubringen sind. Dies ergibt einerseits eine unterschiedliche Auffederung der C-förmigen Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7, an denen die Antriebe 30 befestigt sind. Weiters ergibt sich dadurch eine unsymmetrische Durchbiegung der Pressenbalken 15, 16, wie sie in Fig. 3 sehr überzeichnet dargestellt sind. Entsprechend der jeweiligen Biegelinie, die neben den Dimensionen und Materialkennwerten der Pressenbalken 15, 16 von der Umformkraft und Lage der Biegewerkzeuge und der Werkzeuglänge abhängig ist, wird die Lage der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 zueinander und damit die Stellung aufeinander zugerichteter Arbeitskanten bzw. Arbeitsflächen 68, 69 der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 verändert, sodaß diese winkelig zueinander verlaufen. Die minimalste Abweichung in der Parallelität bewirkt jedoch sofort ein unbefriedigendes Fertigungsergebnis.In Fig. 3 is schematically and oversubscribed the situation as it results due to the force-induced deflection of the press beams 15, 16 at eccentric arrangement of the bending tools 36, 37 in a press brake 2, shown. In such an arrangement, starting from the required forming force - according to arrow 61 - the pressing forces to be calculated according to the torque set - according to arrows 59, 60 - in different sizes, which are applied by the drives 30. On the one hand, this results in a different springing of the C-shaped stator side cheeks 6, 7, to which the drives 30 are fastened. Furthermore, this results in an asymmetrical deflection of the press beams 15, 16, as shown in Fig. 3 are very overdrawn. According to the respective bending line, which in addition to the dimensions and material characteristics of the press beams 15, 16 is dependent on the forming force and position of the bending tools and the tool length, the position of the bending tools 36, 37 to each other and thus the position of mutually aligned working edges or work surfaces 68, 69 of the bending tools 36, 37 changed so that they are at an angle to each other. However, the minimal deviation in the parallelism causes immediately an unsatisfactory manufacturing result.

Um dies zu verhindern, sieht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ausgebildete Abkantpresse 2 vor, in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt ausgehend von den von den Antrieben 30 bzw. deren Stellelementen 31 aufgebrachten Pressenkräften - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - rechnerisch die Position z.B. eines Abstandes 70 der resultierenden Umformkraft - gemäß Pfeil 61 - von der Mittelebene 12 zu bestimmen und deren Größenordnung festzulegen. Neben der Größenordnung der aufzubringenden Umformkraft und der Position der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 auf den Pressenbalken 15, 16 ist die wirksame Werkzeuglänge bzw. die Umformlänge 64 für den umzuformenden Blechteil 3 maßgebend für die sich an den Stirnflächen 33, 34 ausbildenden Biegelinien der Pressenbalken 15, 16.In order to prevent this, the method according to the invention and the press brake 2 designed for carrying out the method provide, in a first method step, based on the pressing forces applied by the drives 30 and their adjusting elements 31, as shown in arrows 59, 60, the position e.g. a distance 70 of the resulting forming force - as indicated by arrow 61 - to be determined by the center plane 12 and determine their magnitude. In addition to the magnitude of the applied forming force and the position of the bending tools 36, 37 on the press beams 15, 16, the effective tool length or the forming length 64 for the sheet metal part 3 to be formed is decisive for the forming at the end faces 33, 34 bending lines of the press beams 15, 16th

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung sieht nunmehrwie bereits vorhergehend beschrieben - einerseits die Möglichkeit vor, daß diese Abhängigkeiten in dem der Auswerte- und/oder Recheneinheit zugeordneten Datenspeicher 56 der Steuer- und Schalteinrichtung 55 (siehe Fig. 1) in Form einer Belastungs-Verformungsmatrix hinterlegt sind und entsprechend diesen Daten jedem der Antriebe 30 ein entsprechender Verstellweg - gemäß Pfeile 71, 72 - zugeordnet wird, um die sich aufgrund der Verformung einstellende winkelige Lage der Arbeitsflächen 68, 69 auszugleichen und um eine über die gesamte Umformlänge gleiche Eintauchtiefe 73 der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 zu erreichen.The inventive method and the device according to the invention now wiewie already described above, on the one hand, the possibility that these dependencies are stored in the data memory 56 of the control and switching device 55 (see FIG. 1) assigned to the evaluation and / or arithmetic unit in the form of a load-deformation matrix and corresponding to this data Drives 30 a corresponding adjustment - according to arrows 71, 72 - is assigned to compensate for the resulting due to the deformation angular position of the work surfaces 68, 69 and to achieve over the entire Umformlänge same immersion depth 73 of the bending tools 36, 37.

Anstelle der im Datenspeicher 56 (siehe Fig. 1) hinterlegten Belastungs-Verformungsdatei ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, bei entsprechender Rechnerkapazität die Auswirkungen der Belastungsverteilung und damit der eintretenden Verformungen, wie eben die Auffederung der Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 und Durchbiegung der Pressenbalken 15, 16 rechnerisch zu ermitteln und den Ausgleich von winkeligen Lagen der Biegewerkzeuge 36, 37 durch Zuordnung entsprechender Verstellwege - gemäß Pfeile 71, 72 - durchzuführen.Instead of the data stored in the data memory 56 (see FIG. 1) load deformation file, it is of course also possible, with appropriate computer capacity, the effects of the load distribution and thus the incoming deformations, just as the springing of the stator side walls 6, 7 and bending of the press bars 15th , 16 to determine mathematically and to compensate for angular positions of the bending tools 36, 37 by assigning corresponding adjustment paths - according to arrows 71, 72 - perform.

Die Ermittlung der Pressenkräfte - gemäß Pfeile 59, 60 - und Wahl der entsprechenden Erfassungsmittel 51 (siehe Fig. 1) hängt selbstverständlich von der Art der gewählten Antriebe 30 ab, die, wie bereits erwähnt, durch Hydraulikzylinder 47, aber auch durch elektrische Antriebe, Linearantriebe etc. gebildet sein können. Die die Verformung bewirkenden Belastungen können andererseits aber auch durch verschiedentlich angebrachte Dehnungsmeß-Sensoren 67, z.B. an den Ständer-Seitenwangen 6, 7 bzw. Pressenbalken 15,16 ermittelt werden.The determination of the pressing forces - according to arrows 59, 60 - and choice of the corresponding detection means 51 (see FIG. 1) of course depends on the type of the selected drives 30, which, as already mentioned, by hydraulic cylinders 47, but also by electric drives, Linear drives, etc. may be formed. On the other hand, however, the strains causing deformation can also be achieved by variously attached strain gauges 67, e.g. be determined on the stator side walls 6, 7 and press beams 15,16.

Der Ordnung halber sei abschließend darauf hingewiesen, daß zum besseren Verständnis der Fertigungseinrichtung 1 dieses bzw. dessen Bestandteile teilweise unmaßstäblich und/oder vergrößert und/oder verkleinert dargestellt wurden.For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the production device 1, this or its components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.

Die den eigenständigen erfinderischen Lösungen zugrundeliegende Aufgabe kann der Beschreibung entnommen werden.The task underlying the independent inventive solutions can be taken from the description.
