Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a bending machine, wherein a fed Biegegut, in particular tubular Biegegut, is directed with a straightening unit of the bending machine and is meandered plastically deformed at a bending station of the bending machine with a plurality of bending units,
  • the Biegegut For meandering plastic deformation of pipes or other Biegegut the Biegegut is typically initially unwound from a wound stock ("coil") of a supply reel (reel). The Biegegut has after unwinding a considerable curvature, which must first be eliminated. The removal of this curvature is referred to as "straightening” and typically involves a process of flexing along the flexure in two orthogonal directions.
  • the directional (non-curved, straight) Biegegut is then subjected to the actual bending process.
  • the Biegegut is usually taken with three bending units (bending heads), and at least a portion of the bending heads moves with the Biegegut, so that the Biegegut is plastically deformed.
  • the bending heads alternate between a first working position in which the straight Biegegut is taken, and a second working position in which the deformed Biegegut is released, back and forth.
  • Known bending machines comprise a stationary straightener and a bending station, wherein the bending material is guided by the straightener in the bending station.
  • the bending material is pulled through the straightening unit; This movement of the bending material is used to carry out the straightening process on the bending material.
  • the bending material In order for the straightening process to be carried out properly, the bending material must only pass the straightener at a relatively low speed. The speed with which the bending units move from the first working position to the second working position is correspondingly to the requirements set the straightening process.
  • the straightening process therefore determines the cycle time in meandering plastic deformation of bending material in known bending machines.
  • the DE 101 10 217 A1 writes a tube bending process in which a meandering bending material is formed by means of a three-part bending station. During the bending process Biegegut is tracked by a stationary roller straightening.
  • the invention has for its object to increase the cycle time in the meandering plastic deformation of Biegegut.
  • the relative movement of the material to be bent and the straightening unit required for the straightening process is decoupled from the (absolute) advancement of the material to be bent, which is predetermined at the bending station in the course of the bending process.
  • the fact that the straightening unit is movable relative to the bending station or along and against the normal feed direction of the Biegeguts the relative movement between Biegegut and Straightening unit on the travel speed of the straightening unit to be influenced.
  • times that were previously inaccessible to a straightening process can be used for a straightening process.
  • the straightening process can be partially or completely shifted to times other than the bending process.
  • non-productive times for example times of clamping processes or threading-in and threading-out processes
  • a straightening process in which the Straightening unit applies the required relative speed by its own process.
  • the bending process does not have to be tuned to the straightening process, the bending process can proceed much faster than with known bending machines or known operating methods.
  • the speed of the bending process is essentially limited only by the drive of the bending units. As a result, the cycle time can be shortened considerably.
  • the invention can be used to deform Biegegut different types, in particular tubular Biegegut or rod-shaped (full material) Biegegut.
  • Tubular Biegegut typically has a circular cross-section; but there are also other pipe profiles, such as oval or square pipe profiles possible.
  • the Biegegut is typically unwound from a supply reel (reel), usually via a dancer.
  • a variant of the operating method according to the invention which provides that is directed during the return movement of the bending units at the bending station from the second working position to the first working position with the moving straightening unit Biegegut, in particular, wherein the straightening unit is moved away from the bending station.
  • the retraction of the bending units requires considerable time, which can be used for straightening, so that less (or no) bending time needs to be used for straightening.
  • During the return movement of the bending units is usually no (absolute) feed of the Biegeguts.
  • Equally advantageous is a method variant in which bending material is directed with the moving straightening unit, while at least part of the bending units is currently in a clamping process, threading process, Entklemmrea or Ausfädelvon with respect to the Biegeguts, in particular with the straightening unit is moved away from the bending station.
  • These processes also take considerable time, which can be used for judging.
  • a straightening with the moving straightening unit can also take place during further processes on the bending machine, in which no transport (feed) of bending material takes place, for example during a calibration of pipe ends.
  • a preferred variant of the method provides that the material to be bent is held clamped between the bending station and the straightening unit, in particular with a separating unit or a notching unit, while bending goods are directed with the moving straightening unit.
  • the bending units are mechanically relieved at the bending station.
  • the notch and separation units can also be used in straightening in this variant.
  • Particularly preferred is a variant of the method in which the bending material rests relative to the bending station at least during a part of the time in which the moving straightening unit is oriented. This will create new times for the Straightening process opens, and the cycle time for the production of meandering deformed Biegegut is considerably shortened.
  • bending material is directed with the moving straightening unit, in particular wherein the straightening unit is to be moved to the bending station.
  • the bending material is preferably used by the bending station at high speed; by the movement of the straightening unit to the bending station (ie in the direction of the feed of the Biegeguts), the relative speed of Biegegut and straightening unit can be reduced so much that a main time-parallel straightening process is possible.
  • the scope of the present invention also includes a bending machine for the meandering plastic deformation of bending material, comprising a straightening unit and a bending station with a plurality of bending units, in particular wherein at least a part of the bending units at the bending station between a first working position, in which the bending material before deformation can be taken, and a second working position in which the bending material can be released after deformation, is movable, which is characterized in that the straightening unit to the bending station to and from the bending station is movable away, so that bending material can be directed while the straightening unit will move away from the bending station or onto the bending station.
  • the movability of the straightening unit opens up the possibility of performing straightening processes independently of the advance of the bending material caused by the bending station. As a result, in particular, the bending process can be accelerated (in particular with a higher feed than the maximum relative straightening speed of the straightening unit).
  • the straightening unit is designed to be movable by a motor.
  • a motor Alternatively, other drive systems are possible.
  • the straightening unit is moved synchronized to the preferably motor-driven bending units.
  • the bending machine has a guide on which the straightening unit can be moved to the bending station to and from the bending station, in particular wherein at least one of the bending units can also be moved on the guide.
  • the guide simplifies the process of the straightening unit and possibly the bending unit.
  • the guide typically runs straight.
  • a separation unit and a notching unit are arranged, which are each also designed to clamp the Biegeguts.
  • the separating unit and the notching unit are typically also motor-driven. With the clamping function, the straightening process can be supported.
  • a handling unit can be offset with the deformed Biegegut in the direction of the straightening unit away.
  • the handling unit can, in particular, offset the bending material by a meander distance in order to allow the shaping of the next meander loop.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1i the sequence of an operating method according to the invention for operating a bending machine according to the invention is illustrated by way of example.
  • the bending machine 1 has a bending station 2 and a straightening unit 3.
  • the straightening unit 3 is mounted on a straight guide 4 (in Fig. 1 a) to the left and right, ie to the bending station 2 to and from this away, movable (this direction is also referred to as x-direction). Parallel to the guide 4 and a Biegegut 5, such as copper pipe, out.
  • the Biegegut 5 is on the in Fig. 1a provided on the right side of a coil (not shown) and supplied by the straightening unit 3 of the bending station 2.
  • the bending station 2 has (here) three bending units (bending heads) 6a, 6b, 6c.
  • the left bending unit 6a is stationary here, the right bending unit 6b is movable on the guide 4.
  • the middle bending unit 6 c is in a vertical plane (in the plane of FIG Fig. 1a , xz plane; x, y, z form an orthogonal system).
  • the bending units 6a, 6b, 6c can each take bending material 5 during a bending process (see below).
  • a separation unit 8 and a notching unit 9 are further movable, each of which can also clamp the Biegegut 5. Separating unit 8 and notching unit 9 are arranged between the bending station 2 and the straightening unit 3.
  • the movabilities of the bending units 6b, 6c, the separation unit 8, the notching unit 9 and the straightening unit 3 are arranged, for example, by NC motors.
  • Fig. 1a is shown a starting position at the beginning of the production of a meandering body of the Biegegut 5; all units 6b, 6c, 8, 9, 3 have moved all the way to the left.
  • the notching unit 9 (with open clamping) and the straightening unit 3 move at a directional speed (ie a speed at which the straightening process on the bending material 5 can still take place properly, this speed depends in particular on the material of the bending material 5) to the right; the straightening unit 3 directs the overrun bending material 5.
  • the separation unit 8 has closed its clamping.
  • the notching unit 9 for a bending process is sufficiently far away from the bending station 2 ("in position"), cf. Fig . 1c , stops the notching unit 9 and closes its clamping.
  • the straightening unit 3 continues to travel to the right at the directional speed and thereby directs the material to be bent 5.
  • the bending units 6b and 6c move to the first working position AP1 in which they grip the bending material 5 at the beginning of a bending process; the bending units 6b, 6c can do so with their maximum (limited only by their drive) speed.
  • the separation unit 8 has opened its clamp and simultaneously moves to the right to clear the way for the bending units 6b, 6c.
  • a first meander 10 is pulled up with the bending units 6a, 6b, 6c.
  • the bending units 6b and 6c can move with their (limited only by their drive and the resistance of the Biegeguts 5 against the bending deformation) maximum speed, see. Fig. 1d .
  • the bending units 6a, 6b, 6c finally reach the second working position AP2.
  • the separation unit 8 has closed its clamping and drives synchronously with the bending unit 6b. Bending material 5 (in Fig. 1d to the left) from the coil ("feed" of the Biegeguts 5).
  • the straightening unit 3 typically travels to the left synchronously with the bending unit 6b (whereby no relative movement occurs between the bending stock 5 and the straightening unit 3) without straightening.
  • the first meander 10 is threaded (during this Ausfädelreaes could already clamped again with the notching unit 9 and with the straightening unit 3 directing to the right be moved, not shown).
  • the clamping of the separation unit 8 is then opened, and with a handling unit, not shown, the first meander 10 (and thus also the Biegegut 5 total) a meander distance MA moved to the left, see.
  • Fig. 1e The notching unit 9 (with closed clamping) and the straightening unit 3 are moved synchronously to the left.
  • the second meander 11 is pulled, cf. Fig. 1h (which processes analog Fig. 1d illustrated).
  • the clamping of the separating unit 8 closes, and the bending units 6b, 6c move at maximum speed to the second working position AP2, wherein the separating unit 8 moves synchronously with the bending unit 6b.
  • the clamping of the notching unit 9 is open, and the straightening unit 3 either moves to the left without being directed synchronously with the bending unit 6b, or the straightening unit 3 moves to the left at a reduced speed in a judging manner, cf. Position 3 '.
  • the straightening of the bent material takes place in parallel to the bending back of the bending units from the second to the first working position and during threading processes, as well as possibly during a bending process running at maximum speed.
  • a maximum relative speed between Biegegut and straightening unit limits the speed of the bending process, whereby the cycle time of meandering can be significantly reduced.
  • the maximum straightening speed is particularly slow, so that the decoupling of bending according to the invention from straightening allows a particularly strong reduction of cycle time.
