Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Blechbearbeitungsmaschine, mit einem Tisch zur Aufnahme auswechselbarer Biegematrizen, einer darüber heb- und senkbar angeordneten Oberwange zur Aufnahme auswechselbarer Biegestempel und einer in Bearbeitungsrichtung verfahrbaren Anschlagvorrichtung.The invention relates to a sheet metal working machine, with a table for receiving interchangeable bending dies, an over which can be raised and lowered disposed upper cheek for receiving replaceable punch and a movable in the machine direction stop device.

Blechbiegeteile, die sowohl Rundungen als auch Abkantungen aufweisen, sind aus modernen Konstruktionen nicht mehr wegdenkbar. Für die Herstellung solcher Blechbiegeteile werden bisher mindestens zwei verschiedene Maschinen benötigt, nämlich eine Abkantpresse und eine Einrollmaschine. Je nach Komplexität der Umformung muss das Blechbiegeteil (Werkstück) mehrfach zwischen den Maschinen hin und her tranportiert werden. Dies ist zeitaufwendig und kostenintensiv. Außerdem muss das Blechbiegeteil jedesmal in der Maschine neu positioniert werden.Bent sheet metal parts, which have both curves and bends, are no longer thinkable from modern designs. For the production of such bent sheet metal parts so far at least two different machines are needed, namely a press brake and a curler. Depending on the complexity of the forming, the sheet metal part (workpiece) has to be transported back and forth several times between the machines. This is time consuming and costly. In addition, the sheet metal part must be repositioned each time in the machine.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, das Blechbiegeteil durch Vielfachabkantungen mittels einer Abkantpresse zu runden. Die Rundung wird dementsprechend durch einen Polygonzug angenähert. Zwar muss das Blechbiegeteil in der Maschine nur einmal positioniert werden und auch der Transport zwischen den unterschiedlichen Maschinen entfällt, doch die Vielfachabkantungen sind auf polierten und geschliffenen Oberflächen deutlich zu erkennen, was häufig unerwünscht ist. Darüberhinaus ist diese Methode sehr zeitaufwendig. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieses Verfahrens besteht darin, dass z.B. elliptische Formen nicht durch Vielfachabkantungen herstellbar sind.Another possibility is to round the sheet metal part by Mehrfachabkantungen means of a press brake. The rounding is accordingly approximated by a polygon. Although the sheet metal bending part only has to be positioned once in the machine and also eliminates the transport between the different machines, but the Mehrfachabkantungen are clearly visible on polished and ground surfaces, which is often undesirable. Moreover, this method is very time consuming. Another disadvantage of this method is that, for example, elliptical shapes can not be produced by multiple edging.

Die DE 37 45 067 C2 offenbart eine Blechbiegemaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The DE 37 45 067 C2 discloses a plate bending machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die DE 32 08 851 A1 offenbart eine Dreiwalzen-Biegepresse mit zwei unteren Walzen in einer ortsfesten Position sowie einer oberen Walze. Die obere Walze ist an beiden Enden mit Hilfe von Lenkverbindungen, die durch zwei Paare von hydraulischen Kolben betätigt werden, hin und her bewegbar.The DE 32 08 851 A1 discloses a three-roll bending press with two lower rolls in a fixed position and an upper roll. The upper roller is reciprocable at both ends by means of steering joints actuated by two pairs of hydraulic pistons.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Blechbearbeitungsmaschine der angegebenen Gattung zu schaffen, die geeignet ist Blechbiegeteile, die Abkantungen und Rundungen aufweisen, effizient zu fertigen.The invention has for its object to provide a sheet metal working machine of the specified type, which is suitable sheet metal parts having bends and curves to produce efficiently.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch eine Blechbearbeitungsmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a sheet metal working machine with the features of claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen darin, dass das Blechbiegeteil nicht mehr zwischen zwei verschiedenen Maschinen transportiert werden und das Blechbiegeteil im Regelfall nur einmal in der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine positioniert werden muss. Die erfindungsgemäße Integration der für die verschiedenen Bearbeitungsschritte notwendigen Werkzeuge d.h. einer Abkant- und Einrollvorrichtung in eine Maschine, ermöglicht eine rasche Produktion von Blechbiegteilen mit hoher Oberflächengüte, die sowohl Rundungen als auch Abkantungen aufweisen.The advantages achieved by the invention are that the sheet metal bent part is no longer transported between two different machines and the sheet metal part usually has to be positioned only once in the machine according to the invention. The integration according to the invention of the tools necessary for the various processing steps, i. a Abkant- and curl into a machine, allows rapid production of bent sheet metal parts with high surface quality, which have both curves and folds.

Die in Anspruch 2 beschriebene vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ermöglicht eine genaue Überwachung des Einrollvorgangs. Sind sowohl Ober- als auch das Unterwerkzeug mit je einem Wegmessgeber ausgestattet, kann die Maschinensteuerung Schlupf zwischen den Rollen und dem Biegeteil erkennen und als Folge daraus die Steuerung der Maschine anpassen, indem z.B. der durch die Oberwange ausgeübte Druck geändert wird.The advantageous embodiment described in claim 2 allows accurate monitoring of the rolling process. If both upper and lower tools are each equipped with a position transducer, the machine controller can detect slippage between the rollers and the bending part and as a result adjust the control of the machine, e.g. the pressure exerted by the upper cheek is changed.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform ermöglicht das Einrollen von Trichtern. Hierzu ist die Oberwange schräg absenkbar, und die Anschlagvorrichtung weist mindestens zwei Anschlagpunkte auf, die mindestens in der Breite und der Tiefe unabhängig voneinander verfahrbar sind.A further advantageous embodiment allows the curling of funnels. For this purpose, the upper beam is lowered obliquely, and the stop device has at least two attachment points, which are independently movable at least in width and depth.

Die weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung in Patentanspruch 3 ermöglicht es, die Arbeitsbreite der Einrollvorrichtung dem Blechbiegeteil anzupassen. Werden die Rollen nicht kraftschlüssig verbunden, verläuft die Bewegung des Blechbiegeteils nicht orthogonal zu den Rollenachsen der Einrollvorrichtung.The further advantageous embodiment in claim 3 makes it possible to adjust the working width of the curl the sheet metal part. Are the rollers not frictional connected, the movement of the sheet metal part is not orthogonal to the roller axes of the retractor.

Im Anspruch 4 ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Art die Rollenmodule zu verbinden beschrieben. Klauenkupplungen und Hirtverzahnungen erlauben bei einfacher Kuppelbarkeit die Übertragung hoher Drehmomente.In claim 4, a particularly advantageous way to connect the roller modules is described. Jaw clutches and Hirtverzahnungen allow the transmission of high torques with ease Kuppelbarkeit.

Der Patentanspruch 5 betrifft eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform. Der höhenverstellbare Anschlagtisch hält die Anschlagvorrichtung im ständigen Kontakt mit dem Werkstück. Dadurch kann ein unerwünschtes Durchhängen des Blechbiegeteils durch die Schwerkraft verhindert werden. Im Falle einer NC-Achsen gesteuerten Anschlagvorrichtung, welche mit der Maschinensteuerung verbunden ist, erlaubt diese Ausführungsform eine Änderung der Einrollradien nach einem vorgegebenen Programm.The claim 5 relates to a further advantageous embodiment. The height-adjustable stop table holds the stop device in constant contact with the workpiece. Thereby, an undesirable sagging of the sheet metal bent part by gravity can be prevented. In the case of an NC-axis controlled stop device which is connected to the machine control, this embodiment allows a change of the Einrollradien according to a predetermined program.

Der Anspruch 6 beschreibt eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform. Die Anschlagvorrichtung kann unterstützend wirken, wenn zum Verformen des Blechbiegeteils so hohe Kräfte notwendig sind, daß der Schlupf zwischen den Rollen und dem Bechbiegeteil groß wird, da mittels des Greifers Vorschub-, insbesondere Zugkräfte vom Antrieb der Anschlagvorrichtung auf das Blechbiegeteil übertragen werden können. Ist die Anschlagvorrichtung NC gesteuert, so ermöglicht dies ein sehr genaues Steuern des Einrollvorgangs.The claim 6 describes a particularly advantageous embodiment. The stop device can act as a support if so high forces are necessary for deforming the sheet-metal bent part, that the slip between the rollers and the Bechbiegeteil becomes large, since by means of the gripper feed, in particular tensile forces can be transmitted from the drive of the stop device on the sheet metal bending part. If the stop device NC controlled, this allows a very accurate control of the rolling process.
