Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Rollenumform adopted for reshaping or marking a provided with geometric elements, in particular holes, material according to the preamble of claim 1 (see, for example US-A-4,233,833 ).
  • a roller-forming device is formed with at least one forming roller and at least one counter-element, in particular a counter-roller or a counter table, wherein between the forming roller and the counter-element, a roll gap is formed for passing the material, and wherein the forming roller has on its outer surface an impression structure, the Passing through the material through the nip on the material forms.
  • the further geometric elements produced by the sheet metal forming press undergo the downstream roll forming system. Under certain circumstances, this can result in the further geometric elements being deformed by the subsequent forming operation on the roll forming system.
  • this process chain can limit the freedom of geometry for the additional geometric elements to be introduced, since the further geometric elements for unimpeded passage require corresponding free spaces in the subsequent roller sets on the roll forming system, which is not always possible.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a Rollenumform adopted for forming an elongated metal material, which provides a particularly large amount of freedom geometry available and which allows it in a particularly simple and reliable way to form geometric elements such as embossing, bags, etc. particularly precise.
  • a roller forming device for reshaping or marking a material provided with geometric elements is characterized in that the forming roller is drive-free and has entrainment elements for engagement with the geometric elements, in particular for engagement in the geometric elements of the material passing through the roller gap.
  • a first basic idea of the invention can be seen not to produce the further geometric elements by means of the sheet metal forming press, but to introduce them by a rolling process which can be carried out on a roll forming machine following the sheet metal forming press.
  • this method allows the further geometry elements to be introduced only after the forming steps which would produce a deformation of these elements, so that the further geometric elements can be shaped particularly precisely with a particularly high freedom of geometry.
  • the invention has further recognized that introducing the further geometric elements by means of a driven forming roller running at a constant rotational speed may under certain circumstances bring about an unsatisfactory result.
  • a fluctuating elongation and resulting deviation in the desired rail length is often corrected by an adjustment of the feed to the press, which can lead to variations in the distance of the holes to each other. If in this case a constant rotational speed were used, the variations in the spacing of the holes would lead to an undesired displacement of the further geometric elements to the holes.
  • the invention teaches to provide a drive-free, that is not provided with a drive Umformrolle having driver elements that can engage the first geometric elements, ie in particular the holes, so that the forming roller entrained by the holes in the metal material becomes.
  • the driver elements bring about by contact between the driver element and the trailing edge in the rolling direction of the respective hole a rotation of the entire forming roller according to the passage speed of the material.
  • a mechanical synchronization of the forming roller with the previously introduced hole pattern is realized in a particularly simple manner, which reliably ensures a defined position of the introduced further geometric element to an edge of the hole, without a complex measurement and control technology is required.
  • a plurality of rollers designed according to the invention can also be provided, which can then each interact with a counter-roller.
  • the material may in particular be a metallic material, a flat material and / or a strip material, preferably a sheet metal strip.
  • the driver elements are expediently pin-shaped.
  • the roller forming device is used for reshaping a material provided with a multiplicity of identical geometric elements.
  • the geometric elements are preferably arranged at least approximately equidistantly on the material.
  • the geometry elements may preferably be holes, in particular elongated holes, which extend in the rolling direction.
  • the features may be e.g. also superscript tabs, lateral recesses or notches, be sharp-edged pockets or folds.
  • the invention can advantageously be used in any application in which a subsequent introduction of not freely positionable further geometric elements in a band-shaped material is required, in which a previous process step has already introduced first geometric elements at which catch the inventive forming roller on the driver elements and can synchronize.
  • the driver elements are provided according to the invention in addition to the impression structure. According to the invention, the material provided with the first geometric elements is fed to the roll-converting device, where it is then provided with the further geometric elements by the impression structure.
  • the driver elements are arranged on the lateral surface of the forming roller. This makes it possible, with the forming roller in the areas which are located between the first geometric elements to form further geometric elements.
  • the counter element is a counter-roller and that the counter-roller has at least one recess for the driver elements. As a result, reliable operation is possible even with very long driver elements.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is that the counter-element is a counter-roller and that the counter-roller is mechanically coupled to the forming roller, so that a rotation of the forming roller causes a rotation of the counter-roller.
  • a coupling can be realized for example via gears which are mounted on the front side of the two rollers.
  • the counter-element may be a counter-roller and for the counter-roller to have on its lateral surface an impression structure which, as the material passes through the roller gap, molds it onto the material.
  • geometry elements can be introduced on the material from both sides, so that the freedom of geometry is further increased.
  • the forming roller has at least one passage angle position, in which the forming roller, in particular on its impression structure and on its driver elements, is spaced from the material passing through the roll gap. In this passage angle position, the forming roller is located neither on their impression structure nor on their driver elements in contact with the material passing through.
  • Such a configuration of the forming roller makes it possible to stop or at least slow down the roll rotation in a second manner while the material continues to be moved through the roll gap at a continuous feed rate.
  • the roll forming device according to the invention can also be advantageously used in materials in which the spacings of the first geometric elements, ie in particular the hole spacings, vary over time.
  • a passage angle position in which the forming roller is spaced from the material passing through the nip, can be provided, for example, in that the driver elements are smaller in dimension in the rolling direction than the hole length.
  • a passage of the material relative to the roller may be possible when the driver elements are in the hole, ie in the time interval in which the driver element travels in the hole through the hole.
  • the passage angle position can also be achieved by a sufficiently large Angular spacing of adjacent projections on the lateral surface of the forming roll can be realized.
  • a brake is provided for braking the forming roller.
  • Such a brake can ensure, for example, that the Umformrolle brakes after the unthreading of a driver element from a hole and / or upon reaching the passage angle position continues to rotate unabated due to their inertia, so that, for example, an uncontrolled striking the subsequent driver element in the hole and / or an unwanted premature Intervention of the subsequent impression structure can be prevented.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is that at least one of the driver elements has at its tip a friction reducer for reducing the friction between the driver element and the material.
  • the friction reducer may, for example, comprise at least one sliding element or at least one roller.
  • the forming roller is designed in several parts with at least one first roller part, on which at least a part of the impression structure is arranged, and with at least one second roller part, on which at least a part of the driver elements is arranged, wherein the first roller part and the second roller part are rotatable relative to each other.
  • the two roller parts can be rotated relative to one another about the axis of rotation of the forming roller.
  • the two roller parts may in particular be disc-shaped.
  • the forming roller can also have more than two relatively rotatable roller parts.
  • the invention also relates to a device for forming a material, comprising a device, in particular a press, for introducing geometric elements into the material, and a roller-forming device according to the invention for reshaping the material provided with the geometric elements.
  • the press may be a punch press.
  • the roll forming device according to the invention is downstream of the punch press process.
  • the Rollenumform nails may also have other forming rollers, in particular bending rollers, and be part of a roll forming.
  • the inventive device is preferably used for the production of installation rails.
  • the invention may also comprise a forming arrangement consisting of a material provided with geometric elements according to the invention and the roll forming device according to the invention for forming the material provided with the geometric elements.
  • FIG. 1 The apparatus comprises a straightening machine 80, a press 81 for introducing a plurality of similar geometry elements 7, in particular holes, into the material 6, a roll forming device 82 according to the invention and a separating device 83 for cutting the material 6 to length on.
  • the leveler 80, the press 81, the Rollenumform Sk 82 and the separator 83 are arranged in this order processively behind each other and are run through by the material 6 in this order.
  • a roll conversion device for example for use in a device according to FIG. 1 is in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown, wherein the Rollenumform Stud not only the rollers shown but also other roles, in particular bending rollers may have.
  • the in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown Rollenumform driving has a forming roller 5, which is rotatable about a rotation axis 21. Further, the Rollenumform engaged on a counter-roller 12, which corresponds to the structure of the required forming pressure with the forming roller 5, and which is rotatable about a parallel to the axis of rotation 21 of the forming roller extending axis of rotation. Between the forming roller 5 and the counter-roller 12, a roller gap 20 is formed, through which the band-shaped material 6 is passed.
  • the forming roller 5 is formed in three parts and has two disc-shaped first roller parts 1, 1 'and between the roller parts 1, 1' arranged disc-shaped second roller part 2.
  • the counter-roller 12 has in its outer surface an annular groove-shaped recess 13 which corresponds to the driver elements 3.
  • 20 engage in the region of the nip 20 driver elements 3 of the forming roller 5 formed as a hole geometry elements 7 of the band-shaped material 6 a.
  • the material 6 is moved in the rolling direction 30 through the nip 20, so drag in the rolling direction 30 trailing edges 10 of the holes 7 with the driver elements 3, whereby the forming roller 5 is offset in a synchronized with the hole pattern rotation about the rotation axis 21.
  • the impression structure 4 located on the forming roller 5 brings the desired further geometric elements 9 to a constant and defined position relative to the edge 10 of the hole 7 trailing in the rolling direction.
  • the forming roller 5 is designed so that at certain passage angle positions with respect to the rotation axis 21 no contact between the forming roller 5 and the band-shaped material 6, so that the rotation of the forming roller 5 can be intermittently slower or stop around the axis of rotation 21, while the Material continuously in the rolling direction 30 continues.
  • the slowed or stopped rotation on the one hand enables a compensation of possible fluctuations in the spacing of the geometry elements 7 formed as holes, and on the other hand makes it possible to bridge the smaller thickness of the driver elements 3 compared to the hole length.
  • the individual roller parts 1, 1 ', 2 are made rotatable relative to each other about the axis of rotation 21, so that the angular position of the impression structure 4 relative to the driver elements 3 and thus the position of the second geometry elements 9 formed by the forming roller 5 is variable relative to the first geometry elements 7 formed as holes.
