  • the drawing ring ensures during a feed movement ironing of the cylinder wall area patiian the preform during the ironing two attack in the cylindrical side wall of the preform axial compressive stress generating tool elements, and towards the end face of the cylindrical side wall of the preform a first tool element in the form of an axially movable, as a cylindrical pressure sleeve formed plunger is arranged such that it acts during ironing on the end face with the axial force.
  • an axially movable counter-holder is arranged such that it acts during ironing on the underside of the bottom of the preform with a counter-holding force.
  • the counter-holder can have a circular pressure surface pointing in the direction of the underside of the base, which acts essentially on the entire bottom region, or an annular pressure surface, which is adapted to the width of the cylinder wall of the preform and aligned substantially flush with it, and onto the edge region of the preform Bottom of the bottom of the preform acts.
  • the pressure stamp is axially movable in the direction of the advancing movement of the drawing ring by a movement corresponding to the ironing length of the preform.
  • the axial lifting movement of the plunger during ironing can be regulated as a function of its axial force.
  • the plunger is mounted axially movable via a hydraulic piston.
  • the device may advantageously be integrated in a hydraulic press, consisting of a press table and a press ram.
  • the mandrel is arranged axially fixed on the press table and mounted on the mandrel, axially displaceable via a hydraulic piston, the plunger.
  • the plunger At the press ram of the pull ring are preferably fixed to the frame and the counter-holder preferably arranged axially movable via a hydraulic piston.
  • the plunger is preferred as a cylindrical. Pressure sleeve formed. The distance of the pressure surface of the plunger to the end face of the mandrel adapted to the length of the preform is e.g. adjustable via spacer rings.
  • the mandrel For ejecting the workpiece, the mandrel is rotatably mounted when producing a helical toothing.
  • one or both sides can be arranged at the end of the workpiece, a material overflow.
  • the material overflow is provided for example in the counter-holder or can be formed in the adapter in which the plunger is mounted.
  • the production of the workpiece with internal teeth characterized in that a cup-shaped preform, having a bottom and a substantially cylindrical side wall, over a mandrel, which has the outer profile corresponding to the internal teeth to be generated, is reduced in its outer diameter, so that material of Cylinder wall portion flows into the outer profile of the mandrel, wherein according to the invention reducing the outer diameter by ironing done by means of a draw ring and during the ironing additional axial pressure is applied to the cylindrical side wall of the preform.
  • the axial pressure is generated by two acting on both sides of the region of the cylindrical side wall tool elements, wherein in the direction of the end face of the cylindrical side wall of the preform a first tool element in the form of an axially movable, designed as a cylindrical pressure sleeve, plunger during Abstreck horrs on the end face with a force acts.
  • axial compressive stresses are applied to the cylindrical side wall of the preform by the axial pressure so that the flow of material into the profile of the mandrel is promoted.
  • a counter-holder acts on the underside of the floor to avoid deformations in the floor area and to apply an opposing force.
  • the counter-holding force of the counter-holder and the force of the plunger should be mutually adjustable so that during the entire Abstreckvorganges a flow of material is ensured in the radial direction to completely fill the contour of the mandrel.
  • the plunger performs an axial stroke movement corresponding to the ironing length of the preform in the direction of the advancing movement of the drawing ring, which is regulated as a function of its pressure force.
  • the counter-holding force of the counter-holder and the force of the plunger are in this case adjustable in relation to one another such that a material foot in the radial direction is ensured for the complete filling of the contour of the mandrel during the entire ironing process
  • the productivity can be increased by 4 to 6 times in comparison to the spin forming.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 the basic structure of the device integrated in a press is shown.
  • the lower tool part 2 On the press table 1, the lower tool part 2 is arranged, which has a first hydraulic piston 3.
  • a punch 4 of the mandrel 5 On the lower tool part 2 is axially fixed on a punch 4 of the mandrel 5 is fixed, which has an outer profile 6.
  • the hydraulic piston 3 is mounted on an adapter 8 of the printing sleeve designed as a pressure piston 9 axially movable. The axial position of the plunger 9 can be changed over distances 10, the between adapter 8 and plunger 9 are attached.
  • the tool upper part 11 is arranged on the press ram P and has a counter-holder 12, which is axially adjustable via a second hydraulic piston 13.
  • the drawing ring 14 is further fixed to the frame via an adapter 15.
  • Gem. Fig. 1 the cup-shaped preform N was inserted with the cylindrical side wall N1 down over the mandrel 5, so that the end face N2 in the direction of the plunger 9 and the bottom of the bottom N3 in the direction of the anvil 12 has.
  • the hydraulic piston 13 moves the counter-holder 12 in the direction of the tool lower part until the counter-holder 12 rests against the underside of the base N3.
  • the frame-mounted on the press ram P frame 14 moves in the forward stroke with the press ram P in the direction of the press table 1, simultaneously the first hydraulic piston 3 is pressurized and presses the plunger 9 with the force F1 against the end face N2 of the preform N (Fig. 2).
  • the counter-holder 12 exerts a counterhold force F2 on the bottom of the cup.
  • the plunger 9, corresponding to the ironing of the preform N makes a movement in the direction of the preliminary stroke of the drawing ring 14, the pressure acting on the side wall N1 being maintained by the forces F1 and F2.
  • the material flow is favored so that material flows reliably into the profile 6 of the mandrel 5. This ensures excellent quality of the internal teeth.
  • After completion of the ironing pulls the tool upper part 11 upwards and the workpiece is released via the ejector 7 from the mandrel 5, which is rotatably supported at a helical toothing.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 in the counter-holder 12 provide a material overflow 12.2.
  • the counter-holder 12 has in the direction of the preform N a pressure piece 12.1, which is also reduced in the direction of the preform N in diameter, so that between pressure piece 12.1 and adapter 15 creates a gap into which the excess material can flow and thus serves as a material overflow 12.2.
  • FIG. 5 it is also possible, in addition to the material overflow 12.2 provided in FIGS. 3 and 4, to arrange a further material overflow 12.3 at the end of the cylindrical side wall N1.
  • the gap between the outer diameter of the plunger 9 and the inner diameter of the draw ring 14 are used.
  • an increased axial pressure is exerted for calibrating in order to achieve a better filling and a higher accuracy of the internal toothing. The possibly excess material can flow off as described above.
  • the increased pressure can now be applied, for example, by the pressure piston 9 being connected to a threaded ring G1 via an intermediate piece Z which has threads G at its outer diameter and which in turn is connected to the cylinder 3.1 and thus via the lower tool part 2 the press table 1 is supported.
