Abstract

Es wird ein hydraulisch betriebenes Setzgerät (S) mit Hydraulikaggregat (10) sowie ein Fügeverfahren zum Verbinden von mindestens zwei Bauteilen (B) mithilfe des hydraulisch betriebenen Setzgeräts (S) beschrieben. Durch die gezielte Ausnutzung von Volumenströmen an Hydraulikflüssigkeit in der Vorhubkammer (34) und der Rückhubkammer (36) des Kolbens (32) in Verbindung mit dem Stempel (38) sowie der Niederhalterkammer (44) in Verbindung mit dem Tauchkolben (42) und dem Niederhalter (48) werden gezielt die Taktzeiten im Vergleich zu üblichen Fügeverfahren reduziert.

Figure imgaf001
A hydraulically operated setting device (S) with hydraulic unit (10) and a joining method for connecting at least two components (B) using the hydraulically operated setting device (S) are described. Through the targeted utilization of volume flows of hydraulic fluid in the Vorhubkammer (34) and the Rückhubkammer (36) of the piston (32) in conjunction with the punch (38) and the hold-down chamber (44) in conjunction with the plunger (42) and the hold-down (48) the cycle times are reduced in a targeted manner compared to conventional joining methods.
