Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 24 12 260 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden und Positionieren von Platinen in Pressen bekannt, die mit einer Schnitteinrichtung mit nach oben schneidenden Schnittstempel ausgerüstet ist und taktgleich damit angetriebene Mittel zur Aufnahme und Übergabe der Platinen an ein Transportsystem der Presse. Diese Lösung umfasst Pressen mit mehreren in Fertigungsrichtung aufeinander folgenden Arbeitsstufen. Die Schnitteinrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einer ortsfesten Matrize mit einer in Form und Abmessungen den auszuschneidenden Platinen angepassten Ausnehmung und einem auf- und abwärts bewegten Schnittstempel, der beim Aufwärtshub schneidet. Die Schnitteinrichtung ist in einer um einen Winkel gegenüber der Fertigungsrichtung gedrehten Lage angeordnet. Die Mittel zur Platinenaufnahme und Übergabe an ein Transportsystem umfassen eine Station zur Drehung der Platinen aus der durch die Anordnung der Schnitteinrichtung gegebenen Winkellage in die Fertigungsrichtung. Ein taktgleich, jedoch gegenläufig mit dem Schnittstempel auf- und abwärts bewegter Platinenabnehmer ist drehbar ausgebildet. Die ausgeschnittenen Platinen liegen schräg zur Längsachse des Band- oder Streifenmaterials, so die gesamte Breite des Materials ausgenutzt werden kann.From the DE 24 12 260 A1 a device for cutting and positioning of boards in presses is known, which is equipped with a cutting device with up-cutting cutting punch and at the same time driven means for receiving and transferring the boards to a transport system of the press. This solution includes presses with several successive stages of production. The cutting device consists essentially of a stationary die with a recess in the form and dimensions of the cut-to-size cutout and an up and down moving cutting punch that cuts on the upstroke. The cutting device is arranged in a position rotated by an angle relative to the production direction. The means for Card receiving and transfer to a transport system comprise a station for rotation of the boards from the given by the arrangement of the cutting angle angular position in the production direction. A clock-like, but in opposite directions with the cutting punch up and down moving sinker is rotatably formed. The cut-out boards lie obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the strip or strip material, so that the entire width of the material can be utilized.

Folgeverbundwerkzeuge nutzende Lösungen erreichen einen geringen Materialabfall durch den Entwurf eines Layouts, in dem die gestanzten Formen auf dem metallischen Band in einer zueinander passenden Lage orientiert sind, so dass die geschnittenen Formen ineinander verschachtelt angeordnet sind ( DE 42 32 211 A1 ) . Bei all diesen Lösungen sind je nach Teilegeometrie so genannte Freischnitte für die Umformoperation nötig und außerdem entsprechende Anbindestellen zum Transport des Teils mit dem Materialstreifen durch das Werkzeug erforderlich. Freischnitte und Anbindestellen bedeuten Materialverlust.
Ein materialverbrauchsoptimiertes Streifenlayout kann im Folgeverbundwerkzeug zu einem Auseinanderfallen des Streifens führen und darum unter Umständen gar nicht anwendbar, oder erhöht die Störanfälligkeit.
Follow-on tooling solutions achieve low material waste by designing a layout in which the stamped shapes are oriented on the metallic strip in a mating position so that the cut shapes are nested ( DE 42 32 211 A1 ). In all these solutions, depending on the geometry of the parts, so-called free cuts are required for the forming operation and, in addition, corresponding attachment points are required for transporting the part with the material strip through the tool. Free cuts and attachment sites mean material loss.
A material consumption-optimized strip layout can result in the follow-on composite tool falling apart of the strip and therefore may not be applicable, or increases the susceptibility.

Andere bekannte Lösungen (siehe DE 27 43 981 A1 , EP 1 197 275 A1 , EP 1 316 373 A1 ) realisieren zwischen den Teilen eine gemeinsame Schnittlinie, so dass praktisch kein Schrottabfall anfällt. Dieser Vorteil kann in der Regel nur bei ganz bestimmten Teilegeometrien genutzt werden.Other known solutions (see DE 27 43 981 A1 . EP 1 197 275 A1 . EP 1 316 373 A1 ) realize between the parts a common cutting line, so that virtually no scrap scrap is generated. This advantage can usually be used only for very specific part geometries.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Bei diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und ein System zum Herstellen von Blechteilen beliebiger geometrischer Form, insbesondere Platinen, aus Band- oder Streifenmaterial derart zu verbessern, dass materialverbrauchsoptimierte Teile hoher Präzision mit einer vergleichsweise großen Ausbringleistung bei einfach aufgebautem Werkzeug kostengünstig zur Verfügung gestellt werden können.In this prior art, the present invention seeks to improve a method and a system for producing sheet metal parts of any geometric shape, in particular circuit boards, of strip or strip material such that material consumption-optimized parts of high precision with a relatively large Ausbringleistung with simply constructed Tool can be provided inexpensively.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Gattung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und durch ein System mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method of the type mentioned above with the characterizing features of claim 1 and by a system having the characterizing features of claim 8.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens und des Systems sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.Advantageous embodiments of the method and the system can be taken from the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die ausgeschnittenen Platinen bereits in der Schneidplatte gestapelt und entstapelt werden, so dass ein kompaktes Schneidwerkzeug entsteht, welches einen gleichmäßigen Platinentransport zu dem in derselben Presse nachfolgenden Umformwerkzeugen sichert und aufwändige separate Entnahme- bzw. Entstapeleinrichtungen entfallen können.The inventive solution is characterized in that the cut-out boards are already stacked and unstacked in the cutting plate, so that a compact cutting tool is created, which ensures a uniform platinum transport to the subsequent forming tools in the same press and expensive separate removal or destacking can be omitted ,

Von den im Schneidplattendurchbruch der Schneidplatte übereinander zu einem leicht verkeilten Stapelblock gestapelten Platinen wird taktweise eine ausgeschnittene Platine an der Gratseite der unteren Platine des Stapelblocks leicht verkeilend angefügt und eine obere Platine des Stapelblocks vom Stapelblock gelöst und aus dem Schneidplattendurchbruch verschoben, wobei folgende Arbeitschritte zum Lösen und Entnehmen der Platine (n-1) ausgeführt werden:

  1. a) Anfahren einer Kante der oberen Platine durch die Hubbewegung des Stapelblocks im geklemmten Werkzeug an eine Abweisschräge zum Erzeugen einer in der Ebene der oberen Platine wirkenden horizontalen Schubkraft PS und eine den Stapelblock entgegen der Hubbewegung fixierenden Vertikalkraft PV;
  2. b) Lösen der oberen Platine aus ihrer Verkeilung vom Stapelblock durch die Schubkraft gemäß Schritt a) und Verschieben der Platine in die Öffnung des Schiebers und Verkeilen der vom Schneidstempel ausgeschnittenen Platine an das untere Ende des Stapelblocks;
  3. c) Halten des Stapelblocks im Schneidplattendurchbruch und Ausschieben der gelösten Platine mit dem Schieber aus dem geöffneten Werkzeug nach Ausfedern der Schneidplatte und der Abstimmplatte.
From the boards stacked in the cutting plate opening of the cutting plate one above the other to form a slightly wedged stacking block, a cut-out board is intermittently cut on the ridge side of the lower board Slightly wedging the stacking block is released and an upper board of the stacking block is released from the stacking block and moved out of the cutting board opening, the following work steps for releasing and removing the board (n-1) are carried out:
  1. a) approaching an edge of the upper board by the lifting movement of the stacking block in the clamped tool to a Abweisschräge for generating a acting in the plane of the upper board horizontal thrust force PS and the stacking block against the lifting motion fixing vertical force PV;
  2. b) releasing the upper board from its wedging from the stacking block by the pushing force in step a) and sliding the board into the opening of the slider and wedging the board cut by the cutting punch to the lower end of the stacking block;
  3. c) holding the stacking block in the cutting plate breakdown and pushing the dissolved board with the slide from the open tool after rebounding of the cutting plate and the tuning plate.

Um die ausgeschnittenen Platinen im Schneidplattendurchbruch der Schneidplatte stapeln zu können, ist der Schneidplattendurchbruch als Stapelraum ausgelegt und mit Mitteln, beispielsweise lokale, vertikal in die Wand des Schneidplattendurchbruchs geschnittene Stege, zum Halten des Stapelblocks auch bei geöffnetem Werkzeug versehen. Die Schneidplatte mit Abstimmplatte ist gefedert ausgeführt, um entsprechende Dickentoleranzen der zu stapelnden Platinen auszugleichen und sicherzustellen, dass die obere Platine des Stapelblocks nach dem Lösen vollständig in den Schieber zu liegen kommt und der Schieber frei ist.In order to stack the cut-out boards in the cutting plate breakdown of the cutting plate, the cutting plate breakthrough is designed as a stacking space and provided with means, such as local, vertically cut into the wall of the cutting plate breakthrough webs to hold the stacking block even with the tool open. The insert with tuning plate is sprung to compensate for corresponding thickness tolerances of the boards to be stacked and to ensure that the upper board of the stacking block comes to lie completely in the slide after loosening and the slider is free.

Dem Stapelraum ist eine Abweisschräge zugeordnet, die entweder im Schieber oder an der Abstimmplatte angeordnet ist. Mit dieser Abweisschräge gelingt es in einfacher Weise, eine horizontale Schubkraft zu erzeugen, mit der es möglich wird, die oberste Platine vom Stapelblock problemlos zu lösen. Der Schieber nimmt die gelöste Platine auf und bewegt diese aus dem Werkzeugraum. Dies geschieht im Takt mit dem Anfügen einer neuen Platine an die untere Platine des Stapelblocks.The stacking space is associated with a Abweisschräge, which is arranged either in the slide or on the tuning plate. With this Abweisschräge succeeds in a simple manner to produce a horizontal thrust, with which it is possible to easily solve the top board from the stacking block. The slider picks up the loosened board and moves it out of the tool room. This is done in time with the addition of a new board to the lower board of the stacking block.

Die freie Wählbarkeit der Lage der Platinen in Bezug zur Längsachse des Bandes führt zu einer Verbreiterung bzw. Erweiterung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Feinschneid- und Umformvorgängen bei gleichzeitiger Optimierung des Materialeinsatzes auch bei Teilen hoher Präzision und Komplexität. Die Platinen können in Bezug auf die Längsachse des Band- oder Streifenmaterials eine beliebige Lage einnehmen, beispielsweise können die beiden Platinen zueinander um 180° gedreht sein oder die Platinen liegen schräg, längs oder quer zur Längsachse des Band- oder Streifenmaterials gleich bzw. gegengleich entsprechend verschachtelt ausgerichtet.The free selectability of the position of the boards in relation to the longitudinal axis of the belt leads to a broadening or expansion of the applications of fineblanking and forming operations while optimizing the use of materials, even with parts of high precision and complexity. The boards can take any position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the strip or strip material, for example, the two boards can be rotated 180 ° to each other or the boards are obliquely, longitudinally or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the strip or strip material equal or equivalent nested aligned.

Schneidwerkzeug und Transferwerkzeug innerhalb des erfindungsgemäßen Systems sind durch eine Übergabestation miteinander gekoppelt, wobei eine programmierbare Greifereinrichtung die Platine der Übergabestation zuführt, letztere in der gewünschten Lage positioniert und ein Greifertransfer die übergebene entsprechend positionierte Platine dem Transferwerkzeug zuführt.
Dies ist mit dem außerordentlichen Vorteil verbunden, dass kurze Transportwege innerhalb des erfindungsgemäßen Systems realisiert werden können. Dies führt in der Konsequenz zu einem kompakten Aufbau des Systems mit hoher Modularität und Wartungsfreundlichkeit, was einen flexibleren Einsatz bei Umrüstung des Systems auf unterschiedliche Teilegeometrien oder -formen ermöglicht. Zweckmäßigerweise lassen sich eine Vielzahl von Komponenten des erfindungsgemäßen Systems, beispielsweise das Schneidwerkzeug, das Transferwerkzeug, die Greifereinrichtung oder der Greifertransfer modular ausführen und als kompaktes Modul einbauen und auswechseln.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren sollen Umformteile 1 aus Blech, vorzugsweise Bremsbelagträger, hergestellt werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist jedoch nicht auf solche Teile eingeschränkt und die Teile können auch andere geometrische Formen aufweisen. Zur Herstellung der Umformteile 1 werden zunächst aus einem Band bzw. Streifenmaterial 6 Blechplatinen 9, 9.1 ausgeschnitten, die in weiteren Umform- und Schneidvorgänge ihre Endgeometrie erhalten.The method according to the invention is intended to produce formed parts 1 from sheet metal, preferably brake lining carriers. However, the method according to the invention is not limited to such parts and the parts may also have other geometric shapes. To produce the formed parts 1 , sheet metal blanks 9, 9.1 are first cut out of a strip or strip material 6 , which receive their final geometry in further forming and cutting operations.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen das erfindungsgemäße System, mit dem das Verfahren ausgeführt wird. Das System besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Presse 2 mit zwei separat angetriebenen Stößeln 3 und 4, einer Coilanlage 5 für das Bandmaterial 6, einer Richteinheit 7 zum Richten des Bandmaterials 6, einem Bandvorschub 7.1, einem Schneidwerkzeug 8 zum Ausschneiden von Platinen 9 aus dem Bandmaterial 6, einem Abfalltrenner 18, einem Greifermodul 12 zur Aufnahme und Weitergabe der Platine 9 zu einer Übergabestation 11 einem Greifertransfer 10, der die Platinen 9 in einer vorbestimmte Lage durch das Transferwerkzeug verbringt, und einem modular aufgebauten Transferwerkzeug 13 zur Ausführung von Feinschneid- und Umformvorgängen an der zugeführten Platine 9. Der Stößel 3 wirkt vertikal nach oben auf das, zwischen Stößel 3 und Pressentisch 14 befestigte Schneidwerkzeug 8 und der Stößel 4 vertikal nach unten auf das auf dem Pressentisch 14 fixierten Transferwerkzeug 13. Anstelle der Coilanlage 5, der Richteinheit 7, des Bandvorschubs 7.1 kann auch ein Streifenanleger vorgesehen werden.The Fig. 1 and 2 show the system according to the invention, with which the method is carried out. The system essentially consists of a press 2 with two separately driven rams 3 and 4, a coil system 5 for the tape material 6, a straightening unit 7 for directing the strip material 6, a tape feeding 7.1, a Cutting tool 8 for cutting boards 9 from the strip material 6, a waste separator 18, a gripper module 12 for receiving and passing the board 9 to a transfer station 11 a gripper transfer 10, which spans the boards 9 in a predetermined position by the transfer tool, and a modular constructed transfer tool 13 for performing blanking and forming operations on the supplied board 9. the plunger 3 acting vertically upwards on the, between the plunger 3 and the press table 14 fixed cutting tool 8 and the slide 4 vertically downward onto the fixed to the press bed 14 transfer tool 13. Instead of the coil unit 5, the straightening unit 7, the tape feed 7.1 also a strip feeder can be provided.

Der Ablauf des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist in den Fig. 3a bis 3h dargestellt.
Das Schneidwerkzeug 8 setzt sich - wie in Fig. 3a gezeigt-aus einem Werkzeugoberteil 15 und einem Werkzeugunterteil 16 zusammen, wobei das Schneidwerkzeug 8 durch eine vertikale Bewegung nach unten geöffnet und eine vertikale Verfahrbewegung nach oben geschlossen wird.
Das Werkzeugoberteil 15 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Schneidplatte 17, einer Nachschleifplatte 18, einer Abstimmplatte 19, einem Schieber 20 und einer oberen Druckplatte 23 und das Werkzeugunterteil 16 aus einer Führungsplatte 21, einem Schneidstempel 22 und einer unteren Druckplatte 24. Schneidplatte 17, Nachschleifplatte 19 und Abstimmplatte 19 sind gefedert ausgebildet.
The course of the method according to the invention is in the Fig. 3a to 3h shown.
The cutting tool 8 is - as in Fig. 3a shown from a tool upper part 15 and a lower tool part 16 together, wherein the cutting tool 8 is opened by a vertical movement downwards and a vertical movement movement is closed upwards.
The tool upper part 15 consists essentially of a cutting plate 17, a regrinding plate 18, a tuning plate 19, a slider 20 and an upper pressure plate 23 and the lower tool part 16 of a guide plate 21, a cutting punch 22 and a lower pressure plate 24. Cutting plate 17, regrinding plate 19th and tuning plate 19 are sprung.

Die Schneidplatte 17 und die Abstimmplatte 19, welche zur Kompensation der Schneidplattenhöhe beim Nachschleifen dient, sind dadurch nach oben beweglich. Zwischen der Abstimmplatte 19 und der oberen Druckplatte 23 ist der Schieber 20 geführt. Während des Schneidvorganges dient der Schieber 20 zugleich als Abstützung von Schneidplatte 17 und Abstimmplatte 19. Der Schieber 20 besitzt eine Aufnahmeöffnung 27 für die formschlüssige Aufnahme der ausgeschnittenen Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1.
In geschlossener Stellung des Schneidwerkzeugs 8 ist das Streifen- oder Bandmaterial 6 zwischen Werkzeugunterteil 16 und Werkzeugoberteil 15 geklemmt.
The cutting plate 17 and the tuning plate 19, which to compensate for the insert height Regrinding serves, are thereby movable upwards. Between the tuning plate 19 and the upper pressure plate 23 , the slider 20 is guided. During the cutting process, the slider 20 also serves as a support of cutting plate 17 and tuning plate 19. The slider 20 has a receiving opening 27 for the positive reception of the cut-out boards 9 and 9.1.
In the closed position of the cutting tool 8 , the strip or strip material 6 between the lower tool part 16 and upper die 15 is clamped.

Das Schneidwerkzeug 8 schneidet aus dem zugeführten Streifen-oder Bandmaterial 6 jeweils zwei Platinen 9 und 9.1 pro Hub aus. Es versteht sich, dass das Schneidwerkzeug auch so auslegbar ist, dass mehr als zwei Platinen pro Hub ausgeschnitten werden können. Die beiden Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 werden mit dem unten liegenden Stempel 22 nach oben in die Schneidplatte 17 geschnitten und in den Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 der Schneidplatte 17 geschoben. Die Schneidplatte 17 ist so ausgelegt, dass der Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 einen Stapelraum 26 für eine Anzahl n ausgeschnittener Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 bildet und letztere aufnehmen kann.The cutting tool 8 cuts from the supplied strip or strip material 6 two boards 9 and 9.1 per stroke. It is understood that the cutting tool is also interpretable so that more than two boards per stroke can be cut out. The two boards 9 and 9.1 are cut with the bottom punch 22 up in the cutting plate 17 and pushed into the cutting plate opening 25 of the cutting plate 17 . The cutting plate 17 is designed so that the cutting plate opening 25 includes a stacking space 26 forms and for a number n of cut boards 9 and 9.1 can accommodate the latter.

Zum Halten der in den Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 eingeschobenen Platinen sind Stege 28 vorgesehen, die an lokalen Stellen der Wandung des Schneidplattendurchbruchs 25 vertikal abstehen und eine Verengung des Schneidspalts 29 bilden, so dass die Platinen einer lokalen Klemmwirkung im Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 unterliegen und von diesen gehalten werden. Die Stege 28 sind dabei so angeordnet, dass sie in einem Teil der Außenkontur der Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 zu liegen kommen, die entweder nachgeschnitten werden müssen oder keine Qualitätsanforderungen stellen (siehe Fig. 3b).To hold the inserted into the cutting plate opening 25 boards webs 28 are provided which protrude vertically at local locations of the wall of the Schneidplatturchbruchs 25 and form a constriction of the cutting gap 29 , so that the boards of a local clamping effect in the cutting plate opening 25 are subject to and held by them. The webs 28 are arranged so that they in a part of the outer contour of the board 9 and 9.1 to lie that either have to be recut or do not have quality requirements (see Fig. 3b ).

Mit jedem Hub des Schneidstempels 22 wird eine Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 ausgeschnitten (siehe Fig. 3f) und mit ihrer Einzugsseite ES an die Gratseite GS der zuvor ausgeschnittenen Platine herangeschoben, so dass ein Stapelblock 30 aus einer Anzahl n miteinender leicht verkeilter Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 entsteht.
Fig. 3d zeigt einen solchen Stapelblock 30 aus den Platinen 9. Die Gratseite GS der Platinen 9 liegt dem Schneidstempel 22 zugewandt, d.h. unten. Der obere Teil der Platine, d.h. die Einzugsseite ES, ist oben.
With each stroke of the cutting punch 22 , a board 9 or 9.1 is cut out (see Fig. 3f ) and pushed with its feed side ES to the ridge side GS of the previously cut-out board, so that a stacking block 30 of a number n miteinender slightly wedged boards 9 and 9.1 is formed.
Fig. 3d shows such a stacking block 30 of the boards 9. The ridge side GS of the boards 9 is the cutting punch 22 facing, ie below. The upper part of the board, ie the feed side ES, is at the top.

Der Schieber 20, mit dem die ausgeschnittenen Platinen 9 bei geöffnetem Werkzeug aus dem Werkzeugraum W herausgeschoben werden, ist mit einer Abweisschräge 31 versehen, die in den inneren Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 27 des Schiebers 20 so eingeformt ist, dass ihre obere Kante OK gegenüber ihrer unteren Kante UK einen Öffnungswinkel α von 10 bis 15° einschließt (siehe Fig. 3h). Dies bedeutet, dass die hintere Kante HK der oberen Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 des Stapelblocks 30 die Abweisschräge 31 erreicht, wenn der Stapelblock 30 den Stapelraum 26 vollständig ausfüllt und die obere Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 in die Aufnahmeöffnung 27 des Schiebers 20 eintritt.The slide 20 with which the cut-out boards 9 are pushed out of the tool room W with the tool open, is provided with a Abweisschräge 31 , which is formed in the inner edge of the receiving opening 27 of the slider 20 so that its upper edge OK against its lower Edge UK includes an opening angle α of 10 to 15 ° (see Fig. 3h ). This means that the rear edge HK of the upper board 9 or 9.1 of the stacking block 30 reaches the Abweisschräge 31 when the stacking block 30 completely fills the stacking space 26 and the upper board 9 or 9.1 enters the receiving opening 27 of the slider 20 .

Die Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 werden so im Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 der Schneidplatte 17 übereinander gestapelt und bilden einen leicht verkeilten Stapelblock 30 aus n-Platinen. Taktweise wird eine ausgeschnittene Platine n+1 an der Gratseite der unteren Platine des Stapelblocks leicht verkeilend angefügt und eine obere Platine n-1 vom Stapelblock gelöst (siehe Fig. 3e und 3f). Die gelöste Platine wird aus dem Schneidplattendurchbruch 25 herausbewegt, wobei folgende Arbeitschritte zum Lösen und Entnehmen der Platine n-1 ausgeführt werden:

  1. a) Anfahren einer Kante der Platine n-1 durch die Hubbewegung des Stapelblocks im geklemmten Werkzeug an der Abweisschräge 31 zum Erzeugen einer in der Ebene E der Platine n-1 wirkenden horizontalen Schubkraft PS und eine den Stapelblock 30 entgegen der Hubbewegung fixierenden Vertikalkraft PV;
  2. b) Lösen der Platine n-1 aus ihrer Verkeilung vom Stapelblock 30 durch die Schubkraft PS, Verschieben der gelösten Platine n-1 aus dem Stapelblock 30 in den Schieber 20 und Verkeilen der vom Schneidstempel 22 durchgetrennten Platine n+1 an das untere Ende des Stapelblocks 30;
  3. c) Halten des Stapelblocks im Schneidplattendurchbruch und Ausschieben der gelösten Platine n-1 aus dem geöffneten Werkzeug.
The boards 9 and 9.1 are stacked in the cutting plate opening 25 of the cutting plate 17 and form a slightly wedged stacking block 30 of n-boards. At intervals, a cut-out board n + 1 on the ridge side of the lower board of the stacking block slightly wedged and an upper board n-1 detached from the stacking block (see Fig. 3e and 3f ). The detached board is moved out of the cutting board opening 25 , whereby the following steps for releasing and removing the board n-1 are carried out:
  1. a) approaching an edge of the board n-1 by the lifting movement of the stacking block in the clamped tool on the Abweisschräge 31 for generating a acting in the plane E of the board n-1 horizontal thrust force PS and the stacking block 30 against the lifting movement fixing vertical force PV;
  2. b) releasing the board n-1 from its wedging from the stacking block 30 by the pushing force PS, moving the released board n-1 from the stacking block 30 into the slider 20 and wedging the severed by the cutting punch 22 board n + 1 to the lower end of the Stacking blocks 30;
  3. c) Holding the stacking block in the cutting plate opening and pushing out the dissolved board n-1 from the opened tool.

Wie Fig. 4 alternativ zeigt, kann die Abweisschräge 31 auch an der Abstimmplatte 19 angeordnet sein. Der Öffnungswinkel α der Abweisschräge 28 entspricht dem Winkel der Abweisschräge im Schieber 20. As Fig. 4 alternatively shows, the Abweisschräge 31 may also be arranged on the tuning plate 19 . The opening angle α of the Abweisschräge 28 corresponds to the angle of Abweisschräge in the slide 20th

Die in Schieberichtung liegende Kante der Abstimmplatte 19 ist mit einer Schräge 32 versehen, damit die Gratseite der Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 nicht ansteht bzw. sich verhakt.The lying in the sliding direction edge of the tuning plate 19 is provided with a slope 32 so that the Ridge side of the board 9 or 9.1 is not pending or hooked.

Sobald die obere Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 infolge der Hubbewegung des Stapelblocks 30 die Abweisschräge 31 erreicht, wird in der Ebene E der oberen Platine des Stapelblocks 30 die horizontale Schubkraft PS und entgegen der Hubbewegung eine vertikale Kraftkomponente PV erzeugt. Die horizontale Schubkraft PS löst die leichte Verkeilung der miteinander verkeilten Platinen und ermöglicht es, die gelöste Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 in die Aufnahmeöffnung 27 des Schiebers 20 zu bewegen (siehe Fig. 3e).Once the top board 9 and 9.1 reaches the deflector slope 31 due to the lifting movement of the stacking block 30 in the plane E of the upper plate of the stacking block 30 is generated, the horizontal thrust PS counter to the stroke movement and a vertical force component PV. The horizontal thrust PS solves the slight wedging of the wedged together boards and allows the dissolved board 9 and 9.1 to move into the receiving opening 27 of the slider 20 (see Fig. 3e ).

Fig. 3g zeigt den Arbeitsschritt nach dem Öffnen des Schneidwerkzeugs 8, in dem das Werkzeugunterteil 16 sich nach unten bewegt und die Führungsplatte 21 das Streifen-oder Bandmaterial 6 abgestreift hat, die Schneidplatte 17 ausgefedert und die obere Platine 9 bzw. 9.1 frei ist sowie durch den Schieber 20 aus dem Werkzeugraum W ausgeschoben werden kann. Fig. 3g shows the step after opening the cutting tool 8, in which the tool base 16 moves down and the guide plate 21 has stripped the strip or strip material 6 , the cutting plate 17 springs and the upper board 9 and 9.1 is free and through the slide 20 can be ejected from the tool room W.

Fig. 3h zeigt den Schieber 20 in seiner vollständig aus dem Werkzeugraum W herausgefahrenen Position. Fig. 3h shows the slider 20 in its fully moved out of the tool room W position.

Der Ablauf des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ergibt sich im Grundsätzlichen aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung. Der Schneidstempel 22 bewegt sich angetrieben durch den Stößel 3 der Presse vom unteren Totpunkt UT in Richtung zum oberen Totpunkt OT. Der Schieber 20 befindet sich in seiner hinteren Endlage wie die Fig. 6 zeigt. Der Schneidstempel 22 und die Führungsplatte 21 heben das Band- oder Streifenmaterial 6 an und die Schneidplatte 17 mit Abstimmplatte 19 wird hochgedrückt, d.h. Schneid- und Abstimmplatte federn ein. Der Schieber 20 wird zwischen Nachschleifplatte 18 und oberer Druckplatte 23 geklemmt. In diesem Zustand beginnt das Schneiden (siehe Fig. 3c und 3f). Sobald der Schneidstempel 22 den oberen Totpunkt OT erreicht, bewegt sich dieser mit dem Stößel 3 und der unteren Druckplatte 24 nach unten, d.h. in Richtung Pressentisch bzw. unterer Druckplatte 24. Die Führungsplatte 21 des Schneidstempels 22 federt aus und streift das Band- bzw. Streifenmaterial 6 ab (Fig. 3g). Das Werkzeug ist geöffnet und die Schneidplatte 17, die Abstimmplatte 19 und der Stapelblock 30 federn ebenfalls aus, d.h. bewegen sich nach unten. Der Schieber 20 ist zum Ausschieben frei (siehe Fig. 3h).The course of the method according to the invention results in principle from the following description. The cutting punch 22 moves driven by the plunger 3 of the press from bottom dead center UT toward the top dead center OT. The slider 20 is in its rear end position as the Fig. 6 shows. The cutting punch 22 and the guide plate 21 lift the strip or strip material 6 and the cutting plate 17 with Tuning plate 19 is pushed up, that is cutting and tuning plate springs. The slider 20 is clamped between regrinding plate 18 and upper pressure plate 23 . In this state, cutting begins (see Fig. 3c and 3f ). Once the punch 22 reaches the top dead center TDC , this moves with the plunger 3 and the lower pressure plate 24 downwards, ie in the direction of press table or lower pressure plate 24. The guide plate 21 of the cutting punch 22 springs out and touches the tape or Strip material 6 off ( Fig. 3g ). The tool is open and the cutting plate 17, the tuning plate 19 and the stacking block 30 also spring out, ie move down. The slider 20 is free for pushing out (see Fig. 3h ).

In den Fig. 5a und 5 b sind die Bedingungen verdeutlicht, die eingehalten werden müssen, damit auch bei schwankender Blechdicke der Platinen die obere Platine des Stapelblocks 30 frei verschiebbar ist und die im Stapelblock der oberen Platine nächstfolgende Platine beim Lösen der oberen Platine noch im Stapelblock gehalten bleibt.
Unter Berücksichtigung der Blechdickentoleranz muss die Maximal- und Minimalhöhe des Stapelblocks folgenden Bedingungen genügen. a < n - 1 × S min

Figure imgb0001
und z > n - 1 S max - b ,
Figure imgb0002

worin bedeuten:

  • n Anzahl der Platinen im Stapelblock,
  • Smax maximale Blechdickentoleranz,
  • Smin minimale Blechdickentoleranz,
  • b Höhe des Schneidplattendurchbruchs plus Höhe der Abstimmplatte,
  • a Höhe der unteren Kante der Schräge 32 ab Unterkante Schneidplatte,
  • z Federweg von Schneid- und Abstimmplatte.
In the Fig. 5a and 5 b the conditions are clarified that must be complied with, so that even with fluctuating plate thickness of the boards, the upper board of the stacking block 30 is freely displaceable and the next block in the stacking block of the upper board still remains in the stacking block when loosening the upper board.
Taking into account the sheet thickness tolerance, the maximum and minimum height of the stack block must satisfy the following conditions. a < n - 1 × S min
Figure imgb0001
and z > n - 1 S Max - b .
Figure imgb0002

in which mean:
  • n number of boards in stacking block,
  • S max maximum sheet thickness tolerance,
  • S min minimum sheet thickness tolerance,
  • b Height of the cutting plate breakthrough plus height of the tuning plate,
  • a height of the lower edge of the bevel 32 from the lower edge of the insert,
  • z Spring travel of cutting and tuning plate.

Die Höhe der zu wählenden Schneidplatte 17 und Abstimmplatte 19 ist abhängig von der Materialdicke der zu stapelnden Platine 9 bzw. 9.1. Damit die Dickentoleranzen ausgeglichen werden können und der Schieber 20 frei wird, sind die Schneidplatte 17 mit Abstimmplatte 19 gefedert.The height of the cutting plate 17 and tuning plate 19 to be selected depends on the material thickness of the board 9 or 9.1 to be stacked . Thus, the thickness tolerances can be compensated and the slider 20 is free, the cutting plate 17 are sprung with tuning plate 19 .

In Fig. 6 ist das Schneidwerkzeug 8 mit zwei Schneidstempeln 22 gezeigt. Der Schieber 20 befindet sich in der Ausgangsposition und die Laufrichtung L des Band- oder Streifenmaterials 6 liegt senkrecht zur Schieberachse SA des Schiebers 20. Die beiden Schneidstempel 22 sind in Laufrichtung L des Band- oder Streifenmaterials 6 versetzt zueinander angeordnet.In Fig. 6 the cutting tool 8 is shown with two cutting dies 22 . The slider 20 is in the starting position and the running direction L of the strip or strip material 6 is perpendicular to the slide axis SA of the slider 20. The two cutting punch 22 are offset in the direction L of the strip or strip material 6 to each other.

Jedem Schneidstempel 22 ist ein Schieber 20 zum Ausschieben der Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 aus dem Werkzeugraum W zugeordnet, wobei durchaus ein einzelner Schieber für beide Platinen denkbar ist. In diesem Beispiel handelt es sich um einen Linearschieber, der durch einen Antrieb, beispielsweise Schrittschaltgetriebe, Servomotor, Drehzahl- oder Linearmotor bewegt wird und die beiden Platinen in eine Übernahmeposition 33 bringt. Es versteht sich, dass der Schieber 20 auch als Drehschieber ausgeführt sein kann, ohne die Erfindung zu verlassen. Der Drehschieber hat den Vorteil, dass keine Vor- und Rückbewegung nötig ist und somit die Zeit, in der das Werkzeug geöffnet ist, d.h. der Schieber 20 frei ist, kürzer sein kann.Each cutting punch 22 is associated with a slide 20 for pushing out the boards 9 and 9.1 from the tool room W , with quite a single slider for both boards is conceivable. In this example, it is a linear slider, which is moved by a drive, such as stepping gear, servo motor, speed or linear motor and brings the two boards in a takeover position 33 . It is understood that the slider 20 may also be designed as a rotary valve, without departing from the invention. The rotary valve has the advantage that no forward and backward movement is necessary and thus the time in which the tool is open, ie the slide 20 is free, can be shorter.

Für jeden Schieber 20 ist ein an den Bewegungsablauf des Schiebers entsprechend angepasst gesteuerter Ausstosser 34 vorgesehen, der die beiden Platinen 9 bzw. 9.1 in die Greifereinrichtung 12 schiebt (siehe Fig. 7). Die Ausstosser 34 fahren nach dieser Operation in ihre Ausgangslage zurück.For each slide 20 a correspondingly adapted to the movement sequence of the slider controlled ejector 34 is provided, which pushes the two boards 9 and 9.1 in the gripper device 12 (see Fig. 7 ). The ejector 34 go back to its original position after this operation.

Das Greifermodul 12 ist zweckmäßigerweise als ein X-Y-Z-C-Achsmodul (siehe Fig. 8) ausgeführt, deren Positionen frei programmierbar sind, wobei die Achsbewegungen des Moduls zur Bewegung des Pressenstößels 3 einschließlich des Greifertransfers synchronisiert ablaufen.
Das Greifermodul 12 greift die jeweilige Platine, hält letztere kraft- und formschlüssig und positioniert die Platine in der gewünschten Lage auf der Übergabestation 11, von der die Platine dem Transferwerkzeug zur weiteren Umformung zugeführt wird.
The gripper module 12 is expediently designed as an XYZC axis module (see Fig. 8 ), whose positions are freely programmable, wherein the axis movements of the module to move the press ram 3, including the gripper transfer run synchronized.
The gripper module 12 engages the respective board, holds the latter non-positively and positively and positions the board in the desired position on the transfer station 11, from which the board is fed to the transfer tool for further forming.
