Definitions
- the present invention relates to a machine tool for punching processing of plate-like workpieces, preferably of sheet metal, comprising: a punching tool with a punch and a punching die, a drive unit for moving the punch and the punching die relative to each other along a stroke axis for punching the plate-like workpiece, as well as a along the lifting axis movable hold-down with a scraper, which abuts the punching punch on a top of the workpiece when punching the workpiece, a detection device for detecting a reference position of the blank holder along the stroke axis, wherein the scraper rests against the top of the workpiece, and a control device for positioning the scraper at a predetermined distance from the reference position along the lifting axis.
- the invention also relates to a method for pushing out a workpiece part on a machine tool for punching processing of plate-like workpieces, in particular sheets.
- a machine tool in which a scraper before the punching machining of the workpiece is arranged at a predetermined distance from the top of the workpiece, is from the EP 0 417 836 A1 known.
- the cut-free workpiece part can be moved along the support plane on a workpiece table, for example so that it tilts over the edge of the workpiece table.
- the workpiece part can be positioned for discharging but also over a part flap provided on the workpiece table, etc.
- a so-called hold-down is often provided in punching the workpiece end facing a so-called - plate-like - scraper mounted during the punching stroke, more precisely during the punch or a punching blade the workpiece punched, rests on the top of the workpiece to hold down this punching.
- the blank holder or the scraper can be used for discharging a workpiece part, as shown in the EP2184118A1 is shown, which describes a punching machine and a method for removing sheet metal parts from punching machines.
- a punching tool is used, which has a so-called remote hold-down with a bottom with a first and second surface, which are not in a common plane. Through the first surface of a separated from a residual sheet section is clamped while the remaining sheet is not clamped by the second surface. To remove the separated sheet metal section from the punching machine, the unclamped residual sheet can be moved while the separated, clamped sheet metal section is securely held or moved independently of the residual sheet.
- a workpiece part can also be discharged by the (residual) workpiece is moved along the support plane, wherein the cut workpiece part is taken from the rest of the workpiece and ejected.
- the hold-down device or more precisely for the wiper, to no longer rest on the upper side of the workpiece during the sliding movement.
- the distance of the blank holder when pushing out the workpiece part be so small that the researcherschiebende workpiece part can not slide over the remainder of the workpiece orologyschiebende workpiece part does not jam between the scraper and the rest of the workpiece.
- a positioning of the scraper at a predetermined distance from the top of the workpiece is required.
- the position of the scraper or hold-down can only be determined indirectly (eg by a displacement measurement of the punch).
- the component tolerances of hold-down and wiper are, however, typically so great that positioning of the wiper at a defined distance from the top of the workpiece in this way can not be guaranteed.
- a punch head assembly for a punch press to which a hydraulically operated scraper device is mounted with a scraper plate to hold down the workpiece during retraction of the punch.
- the placement of the stripper plate at the top of a punching die can be detected by an abrupt increase in pressure in an impression cylinder associated with the stripper device which is hydraulically coupled to a plunger of the stamping head assembly.
- the position of the plunger when placing the stripper plate can be determined by means of a path measuring device. This position can be compared with the position of the plunger, which this occupies when placing the Abstreiferplatte on an inserted between plunger and punching workpiece to determine the thickness of the workpiece.
- JP10-286636A a punch press is described in which a contact time of a scraper with the workpiece is detected and a position signal supplied by a device for determining the position of the stripper is used to determine the wall thickness of the workpiece.
- the ejection device can be a coordinate guide with a linear drive with which the tool clamped by means of collets can be moved or displaced over the support plane of a workpiece table.
- the scraper For positioning the scraper at a desired distance above the workpiece, it is proposed to determine the position of the scraper or the blank holder, in which the scraper rests against the top of the workpiece and to set the desired distance, typically not larger, starting from this position is than the thickness of the plate-like workpiece, so that the scraper can serve as a guide while preventing the cut workpiece part from sliding over the remainder workpiece and between the scraper and the remainder workpiece jammed.
- the machine tool has a carrier device for the movement coupling of the movement of the blank holder with the movement of the punch during the lifting of the scraper from the top of the workpiece.
- the control means for positioning the scraper in the predetermined distance from the workpiece, the drive unit of the punch for the positioning of the scraper at the desired distance to the top of the workpiece use. It is understood that in the event that the hold-down device has its own e.g. hydraulic drive unit, the control device for positioning the scraper can drive the drive unit of the blank holder.
- control device is designed to detect the onset of the movement coupling by comparing the positions of the blank holder and the punch along the stroke axis.
- the position of the blank or the scraper during punching of the workpiece does not change, while the position of the punch varies along the stroke axis to punch through the workpiece can. Only when the upward movement after retraction of the punch or the punching blade from the workpiece, the movement of punch and hold down runs synchronously. After the start of the simultaneous upward movement, the punch and thus also the hold-down can be stopped after a predetermined path length at which the scraper reaches the desired distance from the top of the workpiece (i.e., its push-out position).
- the detection device has a measuring device for determining the position of the hold-down device along the lifting axis.
- the measuring device can be designed as a path measuring device and has, for example, an optical sensor in order to detect the position of the blank holder along the lifting axis.
- a scale with equidistant position marks can be attached to the hold-down device, which can be detected with the aid of the optical sensor.
- (distance) measuring devices based on other measuring principles can be used, for example Measuring devices based on the principle of magnetostriction.
- a waveguide made of a ferromagnetic material is typically used as a measuring element as a measuring element and a movable permanent magnet is used as a position sensor, as described in detail in a retrievable under "www.mtssensors.de” article entitled “magnetostriction” ,
- the hold-down device is connected to the punch by a biasing device which aligns a lower edge of the punch and a lower edge of the scraper flush with each other in a rest position.
- the hold-down on the punch is typically spring-mounted, wherein the hold-down and the punch are moved synchronously and motion coupled along the lifting axis, provided that the biasing means, typically a spring, is not deflected from the rest position.
- the movement of the biasing means from its rest position typically occurs when the underside of the wiper abuts the punching stroke at the top of the workpiece as it forms an abutment so that the force applied to the punch or biasing means increases and compresses the biasing means becomes.
- the detection device is designed to detect the reference position of the blank holder by a force exerted by the punch on a drive unit force effect when placing the punch on the top of the workpiece.
- the punching force increases as the punch reaches the top of the workpiece.
- the case on the drive unit, such as a plunger, exerted increased Force can be detected, for example, as in the above-cited EP1281455B1 is described with respect to this aspect by reference to the content of this application. Since the lower edge of the scraper and the lower edge of the punch terminate flush, the position at which the lower edge of the punch rests against the upper side of the workpiece corresponds to the reference position of the scraper.
- control device is designed to specify the distance of the scraper from the upper side of the workpiece as a function of a thickness of the workpiece to be machined.
- the distance of the scraper from the top side of the workpiece should not be too large for reliable ejection, in order to avoid that the workpiece part to be ejected is jammed between the residual workpiece and the scraper.
- the control device can remove the thickness of the machined workpiece from a storage device. But it is also possible to measure the thickness of the workpiece during the execution of a punching stroke, for example, those in the above-cited EP1281455B1 described way.
- a positioning of the scraper at a distance of half the thickness of the workpiece has been found to be particularly favorable for the ejection of workpiece parts.
- the scraper can also be positioned in a different (usually thickness-dependent) distance, wherein a positioning at a distance that is greater than the thickness of the workpiece should be avoided as a rule (it should apply: 0 xd ⁇ distance ⁇ 1.0 xd).
- the distance can also be specified independently of the thickness of the workpiece. This is especially the case when a distance is given that is so small (eg, about 0.2 mm or less) that it is smaller than the workpiece thickness regardless of the type of workpiece to be machined.
- the detection device for detecting the reference position has a sensor attached to the wiper.
- the sensor can be an optical sensor which is covered by the workpiece when the stripper abuts against the workpiece and therefore does not detect any radiation. If the stripper abuts against the workpiece or if it is lifted off the workpiece, the area detected by the optical sensor changes Radiation performance clearly, so that the reference position of the scraper can be detected.
- the wiper is an electrically conductive (metallic) component, and also the workpiece (typically a metal sheet) is electrically conductive. The reference position can therefore also be determined by a resistance measurement or a voltage measurement, since the lifting of the scraper from the workpiece interrupts the electrical contact between the two components.
- the invention also relates to a method for pushing out a workpiece part on a machine tool for punching plate-like workpieces, which may be formed as described above, the method comprising: moving a punch and a punching die relative to each other along a stroke axis for cutting free the workpiece part from a punching machined workpiece, wherein during the punching of the workpiece by means of the punch a scraper attached to a hold on a top of the workpiece, detecting a reference position of the blank along the stroke axis, wherein the scraper rests against the surface of the workpiece, positioning the scraper in a predetermined distance from the reference position, and pushing out of the cut workpiece part by moving the workpiece part together with the workpiece along a support plane.
- the cut workpiece part is pushed out by a movement of the (residual) workpiece along a support plane, wherein the workpiece part is taken from the (residual) workpiece.
- the workpiece part can In this case, a removal position of the machine tool can be spent, which can be provided, for example, on a part flap, an edge of the workpiece support or possibly on a parts slide. From the discharge position, the workpiece part can be removed from the machine tool manually or by means of suitable transport devices.
- the distance between the scraper and the upper side of the workpiece is predetermined as a function of a thickness of the workpiece. As has been shown above, it is typically favorable if the distance between the lower edge of the scraper and the upper side of the workpiece is not greater than the thickness of the workpiece, so that the distance should be adjusted as a function of the thickness of the workpiece the distance should typically be smaller than the workpiece thickness.
- the distance corresponds to at least half the thickness of the workpiece, in order to ensure, in particular for thin workpieces with a thickness of less than 1 mm, that the workpiece part is not clamped between the scraper and the die when pushed out becomes.
- the distance may possibly only amount to at least a quarter or at least one third of the thickness of the workpiece; in any case, the distance should be greater than zero to prevent jamming.
- the hold-down device and the punch are motion-coupled during the lifting of the scraper from the top of the workpiece.
- the punch is moved along the stroke axis relative to the scraper, which bears against the workpiece and is therefore stationary.
- the hold-down and the punch are motion-coupled by means of a (mechanical) driving device.
- the insertion of the movement coupling by comparing the positions of the blank holder and the punch detected along the stroke axis. As soon as the coupled movement starts, the two positions change synchronously, ie the distance between the two positions remains constant, which can be detected by means of suitable position or displacement measuring devices for the blank holder and the punch.
- the hold-down device is connected to the punch by a biasing device, which aligns a lower edge of the punch and a lower edge of the scraper flush with each other in a rest position.
- the reference position of the blank holder is detected by a force exerted on a drive unit of the punching force on placement of the punch on the top of the workpiece.
- the biasing means is deflected, whereby the force exerted on the drive unit or the ram force increases, so that the position at which the scraper and the lower edge of the punch rests against the top of the workpiece , can be detected.
- the desired distance can be adjusted after the punching of the workpiece by moving the punch from this reference position by an appropriate value, e.g. is moved by half the sheet thickness, upwards in order to push out the workpiece part process reliable.

- a position P of the blank holder 24 is defined along the lifting axis 15 by the lower end (front side), to which the plate-shaped scraper 25 is attached.
- Fig. 2b As in Fig. 2b is shown when punching the workpiece 4 of the attached to the hold-down 24 scraper 25 (with its underside) on the upper side 4a of the workpiece 4.
- the position of the blank holder 24 shown below will be referred to as the reference position PR of the blank holder 24.
- the punch 9 is moved further down than the scraper 25 so that the punch 9a passes through the opening in the scraper 25 to machine the workpiece 4.
- the stamped slug formed in this process is replaced by the (in Fig. 2b not shown) die 11 discharged down.
- the hold-down 24 thus remains stationary while the punch 9 changes its position S along the lifting axis 15.
- Fig. 2c the punch 9 in the opening of the blank holder 24 is pulled back so far that the two paragraphs (see. Fig. 2b ) abut each other, wherein the hold-down 24 is still in its reference position PR.
- the position P of the scraper 25 along the lifting axis 15 is determined by a Weg messengercardi 27, 28, which is part of an in Fig. 1 indicated detection device 26 is.

- the detection device 26 itself is in signal communication with the control device 19.
- the control device 19 compares the position P of the blank holder 24 detected with the aid of the detection device 26 with the position S of the punch 9. The comparison makes it possible to determine whether the stripper 25 still rests on the upper side 4 a of the workpiece 4 (position S of the punch 9) changes, position P of the blank holder 24 remains the same).
- the control device 19 stops the punch 9 as soon as it has covered a path along the stroke axis (z-direction), which corresponds to half the thickness d / 2 of the workpiece 4 (with thickness d). Since during the upward movement of the hold-down 24 (and thus the scraper 25) is taken along with the punch 9, and the scraper 25 is in one position stopped or delivered, which corresponds to half the thickness d / 2 of the workpiece 4, ie between the workpiece 4 and the scraper 25 forms a gap with a gap width corresponding to half the workpiece thickness d.

- the cut-free workpiece part 4b is thereby pushed out with the aid of the (residual) workpiece 4.
- the scraper 25 is in this case lifted from the top 4a of the workpiece 4, so that this or the workpiece part 4b can not jam between the scraper 25 and the workpiece table 3. Since the gap formed between the scraper 25 and the workpiece 4 is smaller than the thickness d of the workpiece 4, the workpiece part 4b can not slide over the workpiece 4 during insertion and thus possibly jam or prevent the ejection.
- the knowledge of the thickness d of the punched machined workpiece 4 is required because the distance is usually dependent on the workpiece thickness d and not larger than the thickness d of the workpiece 4 should be selected.
- the thickness d of the workpiece 4 is stored in the control device 19 or in the storage means 20.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Werkzeugmaschine zum stanzenden Bearbeiten von plattenartigen Werkstücken, vorzugsweise von Blechen, umfassend: ein Stanzwerkzeug mit einem Stanzstempel und einer Stanzmatrize, eine Antriebseinheit zur Bewegung des Stanzstempels und der Stanzmatrize relativ zueinander entlang einer Hubachse zum Durchstanzen des plattenartigen Werkstücks, sowie einen entlang der Hubachse bewegbaren Niederhalter mit einem Abstreifer, der beim Durchstanzen des Werkstücks mittels des Stanzstempels an einer Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt, eine Detektionseinrichtung zur Detektion einer Referenzposition des Niederhalters entlang der Hubachse, bei welcher der Abstreifer an der Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt, sowie eine Steuerungseinrichtung zum Positionieren des Abstreifers in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von der Referenzposition entlang der Hubachse. Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Ausschieben eines Werkstückteils an einer Werkzeugmaschine zum stanzenden Bearbeiten von plattenartigen Werkstücken, insbesondere von Blechen.The present invention relates to a machine tool for punching processing of plate-like workpieces, preferably of sheet metal, comprising: a punching tool with a punch and a punching die, a drive unit for moving the punch and the punching die relative to each other along a stroke axis for punching the plate-like workpiece, as well as a along the lifting axis movable hold-down with a scraper, which abuts the punching punch on a top of the workpiece when punching the workpiece, a detection device for detecting a reference position of the blank holder along the stroke axis, wherein the scraper rests against the top of the workpiece, and a control device for positioning the scraper at a predetermined distance from the reference position along the lifting axis. The invention also relates to a method for pushing out a workpiece part on a machine tool for punching processing of plate-like workpieces, in particular sheets.
Eine Werkzeugmaschine, bei welcher ein Abstreifer vor dem stanzenden Bearbeiten des Werkstücks in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von der Oberseite des Werkstücks angeordnet wird, ist aus der
Nach dem stanzenden Bearbeiten eines Werkstücks, bei dem ein Werkstückteil von einem Restwerkstück bzw. Restgitter freigeschnitten wird, ist es erforderlich, das freigeschnittene Werkzeugteil aus dem Bearbeitungsbereich der Werkzeugmaschine bzw. der Auflageebene für das Werkstück zu entfernen. Hierzu kann das freigeschnittene Werkstückteil entlang der Auflageebene auf einem Werkstücktisch bewegt werden, beispielsweise damit dieses über den Rand des Werkstücktischs abkippt. Das Werkstückteil kann zum Ausschleusen aber auch über einer an dem Werkstücktisch vorgesehenen Teileklappe positioniert werden, etc.After punching a workpiece, in which a workpiece part is cut free from a residual workpiece or skeleton, it is necessary to remove the cut tool part from the processing area of the machine tool or the support plane for the workpiece. For this purpose, the cut-free workpiece part can be moved along the support plane on a workpiece table, for example so that it tilts over the edge of the workpiece table. The workpiece part can be positioned for discharging but also over a part flap provided on the workpiece table, etc.
Zum Niederhalten des Werkstücks beim Durchstanzen ist bei Stanzmaschinen häufig ein so genannter Niederhalter vorgesehen, an dessen dem Werkstück zugewandten Ende ein so genannter - typischer Weise plattenförmiger - Abstreifer angebracht ist, der während des Stanzhubs, genauer gesagt während der Stanzstempel bzw. eine Stanzklinge das Werkstück durchstanzt, an der Oberseite des Werkstücks aufliegt, um dieses beim Stanzen niederzuhalten.For holding down the workpiece during punching a so-called hold-down is often provided in punching the workpiece end facing a so-called - plate-like - scraper mounted during the punching stroke, more precisely during the punch or a punching blade the workpiece punched, rests on the top of the workpiece to hold down this punching.
Der Niederhalter bzw. der Abstreifer kann zum Ausschleusen eines Werkstückteils verwendet werden, wie dies in der
Alternativ kann ein Werkstückteil auch ausgeschleust werden, indem das (Rest-) Werkstück entlang der Auflageebene bewegt wird, wobei das freigeschnittene Werkstückteil vom Rest-Werkstück mitgenommen und ausgeschoben wird. Für das prozesssichere Ausschieben ist es erforderlich, dass der Niederhalter, genauer gesagt der Abstreifer, bei der Schiebe-Bewegung nicht mehr an der Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt. Zudem sollte der Abstand des Niederhalters beim Ausschieben des Werkstückteils so gering sein, dass sich das auszuschiebende Werkstückteil nicht über das Rest-Werkstück schieben kann bzw. das auszuschiebende Werkstückteil sich nicht zwischen dem Abstreifer und dem Rest-Werkstück verklemmt. Um einen geeigneten Abstand des Abstreifers vom Werkstück einzustellen, ist eine Positionierung des Abstreifers in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zur Oberseite des Werkstücks erforderlich. Die Position des Abstreifers bzw. Niederhalters kann aber nur indirekt (z.B. durch eine Wegmessung des Stanzstempels) ermittelt werden. Die Bauteiletoleranzen von Niederhalter und Abstreifer sind aber typischer Weise so groß, dass eine Positionierung des Abstreifers in einem definierten Abstand von der Oberseite des Werkstücks auf diese Weise nicht gewährleistet werden kann.Alternatively, a workpiece part can also be discharged by the (residual) workpiece is moved along the support plane, wherein the cut workpiece part is taken from the rest of the workpiece and ejected. For reliable ejection, it is necessary for the hold-down device, or more precisely for the wiper, to no longer rest on the upper side of the workpiece during the sliding movement. In addition, the distance of the blank holder when pushing out the workpiece part be so small that the auszuschiebende workpiece part can not slide over the remainder of the workpiece or auszuschiebende workpiece part does not jam between the scraper and the rest of the workpiece. In order to set a suitable distance of the scraper from the workpiece, a positioning of the scraper at a predetermined distance from the top of the workpiece is required. However, the position of the scraper or hold-down can only be determined indirectly (eg by a displacement measurement of the punch). The component tolerances of hold-down and wiper are, however, typically so great that positioning of the wiper at a defined distance from the top of the workpiece in this way can not be guaranteed.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Werkzeugmaschine und ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass die Prozesssicherheit beim Ausschieben von Werkstückteilen erhöht wird.It is the object of the present invention to further develop a machine tool and a method of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the process reliability during the ejection of workpiece parts is increased.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Werkzeugmaschine der eingangs genannten Art, welche zusätzlich eine Ausschiebeeinrichtung zum Ausschieben eines beim Durchstanzen des Werkstücks freigeschnittenen Werkstückteils durch Bewegen des Werkstückteils gemeinsam mit dem Werkstück entlang einer Auflageebene aufweist.This object is achieved by a machine tool of the type mentioned, which additionally has a Ausschiebeeinrichtung for ejecting a cut-free when punching the workpiece workpiece part by moving the workpiece part together with the workpiece along a support plane.
Als Ausschiebeeinrichtung ist eine Einrichtung verwendet, die der Bewegung des Werkstücks entlang der Auflageebene dient und die ohnehin in der Werkzeugmaschine vorgesehen ist. Beispielsweise kann es sich bei der Ausschiebeeinrichtung um eine Koordinatenführung mit einem Linear-Antrieb handeln, mit der das über Spannzangen eingespannte Werkzeug über die Auflageebene eines Werkstücktisches bewegt bzw. verschoben werden kann.
Zum Positionieren des Abstreifers in einem gewünschten Abstand oberhalb des Werkstücks wird vorgeschlagen, diejenige Position des Abstreifers bzw. des Niederhalters zu bestimmen, bei welcher der Abstreifer an der Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt und ausgehend von dieser Position den gewünschten Abstand einzustellen, der typischer Weise nicht größer ist als die Dicke des plattenartigen Werkstücks, so dass der Abstreifer als Führung dienen kann und gleichzeitig verhindert wird, dass das freigeschnittene Werkstückteil sich über das Rest-Werkstück schiebt und zwischen dem Abstreifer und dem Rest-Werkstück verklemmt.As Ausschiebeeinrichtung a device is used which serves the movement of the workpiece along the support plane and which is provided anyway in the machine tool. For example, the ejection device can be a coordinate guide with a linear drive with which the tool clamped by means of collets can be moved or displaced over the support plane of a workpiece table.
For positioning the scraper at a desired distance above the workpiece, it is proposed to determine the position of the scraper or the blank holder, in which the scraper rests against the top of the workpiece and to set the desired distance, typically not larger, starting from this position is than the thickness of the plate-like workpiece, so that the scraper can serve as a guide while preventing the cut workpiece part from sliding over the remainder workpiece and between the scraper and the remainder workpiece jammed.
In einer Ausführungsform weist die Werkzeugmaschine eine Mitnehmereinrichtung zur Bewegungskopplung der Bewegung des Niederhalters mit der Bewegung des Stanzstempels beim Anheben des Abstreifers von der Oberseite des Werkstücks auf.In one embodiment, the machine tool has a carrier device for the movement coupling of the movement of the blank holder with the movement of the punch during the lifting of the scraper from the top of the workpiece.
Durch die Bewegungskopplung ist die relative Position des Niederhalters zum Stanzstempel beim Anheben des Abstreifers und dem sich anschließenden Teil des Stanzhubs konstant. Daher kann in diesem Fall die Steuerungseinrichtung zum Positionieren des Abstreifers in dem vorgegebenen Abstand vom Werkstück die Antriebseinheit des Stanzstempels für die Positionierung des Abstreifers in dem gewünschten Abstand zur Oberseite des Werkstücks verwenden. Es versteht sich, dass für den Fall, dass der Niederhalter eine eigene z.B. hydraulische Antriebseinheit aufweist, die Steuerungseinrichtung zur Positionierung des Abstreifers die Antriebseinheit des Niederhalters ansteuern kann.Due to the movement coupling, the relative position of the blank holder to the punch during the lifting of the scraper and the subsequent part of the punching stroke is constant. Therefore, in this case, the control means for positioning the scraper in the predetermined distance from the workpiece, the drive unit of the punch for the positioning of the scraper at the desired distance to the top of the workpiece use. It is understood that in the event that the hold-down device has its own e.g. hydraulic drive unit, the control device for positioning the scraper can drive the drive unit of the blank holder.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Steuerungseinrichtung ausgebildet, das Einsetzen der Bewegungskopplung durch einen Vergleich der Positionen des Niederhalters und des Stanzstempels entlang der Hubachse zu erkennen. Hierbei wird ausgenutzt, dass die Bewegungskopplung bzw. die synchrone Bewegung des Stanzstempels und des Niederhalters typischer Weise erst beim Abheben des Niederhalters von der Oberseite des Werkstücks auftritt. Genauer gesagt verändert sich die Position des Niederhalters bzw. des Abstreifers während des Durchstanzens des Werkstücks nicht, während die Position des Stanzstempels entlang der Hubachse variiert, um das Werkstück durchstanzen zu können. Erst bei der Aufwärtsbewegung nach dem Zurückziehen des Stanzstempels bzw. der Stanzschneide aus dem Werkstück verläuft die Bewegung von Stanzstempel und Niederhalter synchron. Nach dem Start der simultanen Aufwärts-Bewegung kann der Stanzstempel und somit auch der Niederhalter nach einer vorgegebenen Weglänge gestoppt werden, bei welcher der Abstreifer den gewünschten Abstand von der Oberseite des Werkstücks (d.h. seine Ausschiebeposition) erreicht.In a further embodiment, the control device is designed to detect the onset of the movement coupling by comparing the positions of the blank holder and the punch along the stroke axis. In this case, use is made of the fact that the movement coupling or the synchronous movement of the punch and the hold-down typically only occurs when lifting the hold-down from the top of the workpiece. More specifically, the position of the blank or the scraper during punching of the workpiece does not change, while the position of the punch varies along the stroke axis to punch through the workpiece can. Only when the upward movement after retraction of the punch or the punching blade from the workpiece, the movement of punch and hold down runs synchronously. After the start of the simultaneous upward movement, the punch and thus also the hold-down can be stopped after a predetermined path length at which the scraper reaches the desired distance from the top of the workpiece (i.e., its push-out position).
Bei einer Weiterbildung weist die Detektionseinrichtung eine Messeinrichtung zur Bestimmung der Position des Niederhalters entlang der Hubachse auf. Die Messeinrichtung kann als Wegmesseinrichtung ausgebildet sein und weist beispielsweise einen optischen Sensor auf, um die Lage des Niederhalters entlang der Hubachse zu detektieren. Für die Wegmessung kann an dem Niederhalter eine Skala mit äquidistanten Positionsmarken angebracht sein, die mit Hilfe des optischen Sensors erfasst werden können. Auch (Weg-)Messeinrichtungen, die auf anderen Messprinzipien beruhen, können verwendet werden, beispielsweise Messeinrichtungen, die auf dem Prinzip der Magnetostriktion beruhen. In diesem Fall wird als Messelement typischer Weise ein Wellenleiter aus einem ferromagnetischen Material als Messelement verwendet und ein beweglicher Permanentmagnet wird als Positionsgeber eingesetzt, wie beispielsweise in einem unter "www.mtssensors.de" abrufbaren Artikel mit dem Titel "Magnetostriktion" im Detail beschrieben wird.In a development, the detection device has a measuring device for determining the position of the hold-down device along the lifting axis. The measuring device can be designed as a path measuring device and has, for example, an optical sensor in order to detect the position of the blank holder along the lifting axis. For the distance measurement, a scale with equidistant position marks can be attached to the hold-down device, which can be detected with the aid of the optical sensor. Also (distance) measuring devices based on other measuring principles can be used, for example Measuring devices based on the principle of magnetostriction. In this case, a waveguide made of a ferromagnetic material is typically used as a measuring element as a measuring element and a movable permanent magnet is used as a position sensor, as described in detail in a retrievable under "www.mtssensors.de" article entitled "magnetostriction" ,
Für die vorliegende Anwendung ist es nicht zwingend erforderlich, die absolute Position des Niederhalters relativ zum ortsfesten Teil (Gehäuse) der Werkzeugmaschine zu bestimmen. Vielmehr genügt es zu erkennen, ob eine synchrone Bewegung von Niederhalter und Stanzstempel bzw. eines auf diesen einwirkenden Stößels erfolgt, oder ob der Niederhalter und der Stanzstempel unabhängig voneinander bewegt werden. Um dies festzustellen ist typischer Weise dem Stanzstempel eine entsprechende Messeinrichtung zur Bestimmung des Weges bzw. der Position des Stanzstempels entlang der Hubachse zugeordnet.For the present application, it is not absolutely necessary to determine the absolute position of the hold-down relative to the stationary part (housing) of the machine tool. Rather, it is sufficient to detect whether a synchronous movement of hold-down and punch or a force acting on this ram, or whether the hold-down and the punch are moved independently. To determine this is typically associated with the punch a corresponding measuring device for determining the path or the position of the punch along the stroke axis.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Niederhalter mit dem Stanzstempel über eine Vorspanneinrichtung verbunden, welche in einer Ruhestellung eine Unterkante des Stanzstempels und eine Unterkante des Abstreifers bündig zueinander ausrichtet. In diesem Fall ist der Niederhalter an dem Stanzstempel typischer Weise gefedert gelagert, wobei der Niederhalter und der Stanzstempel synchron und bewegungsgekoppelt entlang der Hubachse bewegt werden, sofern die Vorspanneinrichtung, typischer Weise eine Feder, nicht aus der Ruhestellung ausgelenkt wird. Die Bewegung der Vorspanneinrichtung aus ihrer Ruhestellung erfolgt typischer Weise, wenn die Unterseite des Abstreifers bei dem Stanzhub an der Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt, da dieses ein Widerlager bildet, so dass die auf den Stanzstempel bzw. auf die Vorspanneinrichtung ausgeübte Krafteinwirkung zunimmt und die Vorspanneinrichtung komprimiert wird.In a further embodiment, the hold-down device is connected to the punch by a biasing device which aligns a lower edge of the punch and a lower edge of the scraper flush with each other in a rest position. In this case, the hold-down on the punch is typically spring-mounted, wherein the hold-down and the punch are moved synchronously and motion coupled along the lifting axis, provided that the biasing means, typically a spring, is not deflected from the rest position. The movement of the biasing means from its rest position typically occurs when the underside of the wiper abuts the punching stroke at the top of the workpiece as it forms an abutment so that the force applied to the punch or biasing means increases and compresses the biasing means becomes.
Bei einer Weiterbildung ist die Detektionseinrichtung ausgebildet, die Referenzposition des Niederhalters durch einen von dem Stanzstempel auf eine Antriebseinheit ausgeübte Kraftwirkung beim Aufsetzen des Stanzstempels auf die Oberseite des Werkstücks zu detektieren. Wie oben dargestellt wurde, nimmt die Stanzkraft zu, sobald der Stanzstempel die Oberseite des Werkstücks erreicht. Die hierbei auf die Antriebseinheit, z.B. auf einen Stößel, ausgeübte erhöhte Krafteinwirkung kann detektiert werden, beispielsweise wie dies in der eingangs zitierten
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Steuerungseinrichtung ausgebildet, den Abstand des Abstreifers von der Oberseite des Werkstücks in Abhängigkeit von einer Dicke des zu bearbeitenden Werkstücks vorzugeben. Wie weiter oben dargestellt wurde, sollte für das prozesssichere Ausschieben der Abstand des Abstreifers von der Oberseite des Werkstücks nicht zu groß gewählt werden, um zu vermeiden, dass sich das auszuschiebende Werkstückteil zwischen Restwerkstück und Abstreifer verklemmt. Die Steuerungseinrichtung kann die Dicke des bearbeiteten Werkstücks aus einer Speichereinrichtung entnehmen. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Dicke des Werkstücks während der Durchführung eines Stanzhubs zu messen, beispielsweise auf die in der eingangs zitierten
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Detektionseinrichtung zur Detektion der Referenzposition einen an dem Abstreifer angebrachten Sensor auf. Bei dem Sensor kann es sich ggf. um einen optischen Sensor handeln, der bei der Anlage des Abstreifers an dem Werkstück vom Werkstück abgedeckt wird und daher keine Strahlung detektiert. Liegt der Abstreifer an dem Werkstück an bzw. wird dieser vom Werkstück abgehoben, verändert sich die von dem optischen Sensor detektierte Strahlungsleistung deutlich, so dass die Referenzposition des Abstreifers detektiert werden kann. Typischer Weise handelt es sich bei dem Abstreifer um ein elektrisch leitendes (metallisches) Bauteil und auch das Werkstück (typischer Weise ein Blech) ist elektrisch leitend ausgebildet. Die Referenzposition kann daher auch durch eine Widerstandsmessung bzw. eine Spannungsmessung ermittelt werden, da das Abheben des Abstreifers vom Werkstück den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den beiden Bauteilen unterbricht.In a further embodiment, the detection device for detecting the reference position has a sensor attached to the wiper. If necessary, the sensor can be an optical sensor which is covered by the workpiece when the stripper abuts against the workpiece and therefore does not detect any radiation. If the stripper abuts against the workpiece or if it is lifted off the workpiece, the area detected by the optical sensor changes Radiation performance clearly, so that the reference position of the scraper can be detected. Typically, the wiper is an electrically conductive (metallic) component, and also the workpiece (typically a metal sheet) is electrically conductive. The reference position can therefore also be determined by a resistance measurement or a voltage measurement, since the lifting of the scraper from the workpiece interrupts the electrical contact between the two components.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Ausschieben eines Werkstückteils an einer Werkzeugmaschine zum stanzenden Bearbeiten von plattenartigen Werkstücken, die wie oben beschrieben ausgebildet sein kann, das Verfahren umfassend: Bewegen eines Stanzstempels und einer Stanzmatrize relativ zueinander entlang einer Hubachse zum Freischneiden des Werkstückteils von einem stanzend bearbeiteten Werkstück, wobei während des Durchstanzens des Werkstücks mit Hilfe des Stanzstempels ein an einem Niederhalter angebrachter Abstreifer an einer Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt, Detektieren einer Referenzposition des Niederhalters entlang der Hubachse, bei welcher der Abstreifer an der Oberfläche des Werkstücks anliegt, Positionieren des Abstreifers in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von der Referenzposition, sowie Ausschieben des freigeschnittenen Werkstückteils durch Bewegen des Werkstückteils gemeinsam mit dem Werkstück entlang einer Auflageebene.The invention also relates to a method for pushing out a workpiece part on a machine tool for punching plate-like workpieces, which may be formed as described above, the method comprising: moving a punch and a punching die relative to each other along a stroke axis for cutting free the workpiece part from a punching machined workpiece, wherein during the punching of the workpiece by means of the punch a scraper attached to a hold on a top of the workpiece, detecting a reference position of the blank along the stroke axis, wherein the scraper rests against the surface of the workpiece, positioning the scraper in a predetermined distance from the reference position, and pushing out of the cut workpiece part by moving the workpiece part together with the workpiece along a support plane.
Das freigeschnittene Werkstückteil wird durch eine Bewegung des (Rest-)Werkstücks entlang einer Auflageebene ausgeschoben, wobei das Werkstückteil von dem (Rest-)Werkstück mitgenommen wird. Das Werkstückteil kann hierbei an eine Ausschleusposition der Werkzeugmaschine verbracht werden, die beispielsweise an einer Teileklappe, einem Rand der Werkstückauflage oder ggf. an einer Teilerutsche vorgesehen werden kann. Von der Ausschleusposition kann das Werkstückteil aus der Werkzeugmaschine manuell oder mittels geeigneter Transporteinrichtungen abtransportiert werden.The cut workpiece part is pushed out by a movement of the (residual) workpiece along a support plane, wherein the workpiece part is taken from the (residual) workpiece. The workpiece part can In this case, a removal position of the machine tool can be spent, which can be provided, for example, on a part flap, an edge of the workpiece support or possibly on a parts slide. From the discharge position, the workpiece part can be removed from the machine tool manually or by means of suitable transport devices.
In einer Variante des Verfahrens wird der Abstand zwischen dem Abstreifer und der Oberseite des Werkstücks in Abhängigkeit von einer Dicke des Werkstücks vorgegeben. Wie weiter oben dargestellt wurde, ist es typischer Weise günstig, wenn der Abstand zwischen der Unterkante des Abstreifers und der Oberseite des Werkstücks nicht größer ist als die Dicke des Werkstücks, so dass der Abstand in Abhängigkeit von der Dicke des Werkstücks eingestellt werden sollte, wobei der Abstand typischer Weise kleiner sein sollte als die Werkstückdicke.In a variant of the method, the distance between the scraper and the upper side of the workpiece is predetermined as a function of a thickness of the workpiece. As has been shown above, it is typically favorable if the distance between the lower edge of the scraper and the upper side of the workpiece is not greater than the thickness of the workpiece, so that the distance should be adjusted as a function of the thickness of the workpiece the distance should typically be smaller than the workpiece thickness.
Es hat sich in der Praxis als günstig erwiesen, wenn der Abstand mindestens der Hälfte der Dicke des Werkstücks entspricht, um insbesondere bei dünnen Werkstücken mit einer Dicke von weniger als 1 mm sicherzustellen, dass das Werkstückteil beim Ausschieben nicht zwischen den Abstreifer und der Matrize geklemmt wird. Es versteht sich aber, dass der Abstand ggf. auch nur mindestens ein Viertel oder mindestens ein Drittel der Dicke des Werkstücks betragen kann; in jedem Fall sollte der Abstand größer als Null sein, um ein Verklemmen zu verhindern.It has proved to be advantageous in practice, if the distance corresponds to at least half the thickness of the workpiece, in order to ensure, in particular for thin workpieces with a thickness of less than 1 mm, that the workpiece part is not clamped between the scraper and the die when pushed out becomes. However, it is understood that the distance may possibly only amount to at least a quarter or at least one third of the thickness of the workpiece; in any case, the distance should be greater than zero to prevent jamming.
Bei einer Variante des Verfahrens werden der Niederhalter und der Stanzstempel beim Anheben des Abstreifers von der Oberseite des Werkstücks bewegungsgekoppelt. Wie oben beschrieben wird beim Durchstanzen des Werkstücks der Stanzstempel entlang der Hubachse relativ zum Abstreifer bewegt, der am Werkstück anliegt und somit ortsfest ist. Beim Abheben des Abstreifers vom Werkstück, d.h. nachdem der Stanzstempel bzw. die Stanzschneide aus dem Werkstück zurückgezogen wurde, werden der Niederhalter und der Stanzstempel mittels einer (mechanischen) Mitnahmeeinrichtung bewegungsgekoppelt.In a variant of the method, the hold-down device and the punch are motion-coupled during the lifting of the scraper from the top of the workpiece. As described above, during punching of the workpiece, the punch is moved along the stroke axis relative to the scraper, which bears against the workpiece and is therefore stationary. When lifting the scraper from the workpiece, i. After the punch or the punching blade has been withdrawn from the workpiece, the hold-down and the punch are motion-coupled by means of a (mechanical) driving device.
In einer Weiterbildung dieser Variante wird das Einsetzen der Bewegungskopplung durch einen Vergleich der Positionen des Niederhalters und des Stanzstempels entlang der Hubachse detektiert. Sobald die gekoppelte Bewegung einsetzt, ändern sich die beiden Positionen synchron, d.h. der Abstand zwischen den beiden Positionen bleibt konstant, was mit Hilfe von geeigneten Positions- bzw. Wegmesseinrichtungen für den Niederhalter und den Stanzstempel detektiert werden kann.In a further development of this variant, the insertion of the movement coupling by comparing the positions of the blank holder and the punch detected along the stroke axis. As soon as the coupled movement starts, the two positions change synchronously, ie the distance between the two positions remains constant, which can be detected by means of suitable position or displacement measuring devices for the blank holder and the punch.
Bei einer weiteren Variante ist der Niederhalter mit dem Stanzstempel über eine Vorspanneinrichtung verbunden, die in einer Ruhestellung eine Unterkante des Stanzstempels und eine Unterkante des Abstreifers bündig zueinander ausrichtet. Die Referenzposition des Niederhalters wird durch eine auf eine Antriebseinheit des Stanzwerkzeugs ausgeübte Kraftwirkung beim Aufsetzen des Stanzstempels auf die Oberseite des Werkstücks detektiert. Beim Aufsetzen des Stanzstempels bzw. des Abstreifers auf das Werkstück wird die Vorspanneinrichtung ausgelenkt, wodurch sich die auf die Antriebseinheit bzw. den Stößel ausgeübte Kraft erhöht, so dass die Position, bei welcher der Abstreifer und die Unterkante des Stanzstempels an der Oberseite des Werkstücks anliegt, detektiert werden kann. Der gewünschte Abstand kann nach dem Durchstanzen des Werkstücks eingestellt werden, indem der Stanzstempel ausgehend von dieser Referenzposition um einen geeigneten Wert, z.B. um die halbe Blechdicke, nach oben bewegt wird, um das Werkstückteil prozesssicher ausschieben zu können.In a further variant, the hold-down device is connected to the punch by a biasing device, which aligns a lower edge of the punch and a lower edge of the scraper flush with each other in a rest position. The reference position of the blank holder is detected by a force exerted on a drive unit of the punching force on placement of the punch on the top of the workpiece. When placing the punch or the scraper on the workpiece, the biasing means is deflected, whereby the force exerted on the drive unit or the ram force increases, so that the position at which the scraper and the lower edge of the punch rests against the top of the workpiece , can be detected. The desired distance can be adjusted after the punching of the workpiece by moving the punch from this reference position by an appropriate value, e.g. is moved by half the sheet thickness, upwards in order to push out the workpiece part process reliable.

Für die Positionierung des Abstreifers 25 bzw. die Festlegung des Abstandes zwischen der Oberseite 4a des Werkstücks 4 und dem Abstreifer 25 ist typischer Weise die Kenntnis der Dicke d des stanzend bearbeiteten Werkstücks 4 erforderlich, da der Abstand in der Regel von der Werkstückdicke d abhängig ist und nicht größer als die Dicke d des Werkstücks 4 gewählt werden sollte. Typischer Weise ist die Dicke d des Werkstücks 4 in der Steuerungseinrichtung 19 bzw. in den Speichermitteln 20 hinterlegt. Gegebenenfalls kann auch während der Bearbeitung eine Messung der Dicke d des Werkstücks 4 erfolgen. Die Wahl des Abstandes bei der halben Dicke d des Werkstücks 4 zu wählen hat sich zwar in der Praxis bewährt, es versteht sich aber, dass der Abstand d grundsätzlich in einem Wertebereich zwischen 0 x d und 1,0 x d variieren kann, wobei der Abstand typischer Weise zwischen ca. 0,01 x d und 1,0 x d, bevorzugt zwischen ca. 0,1 x d und 1,0 x d beträgt.For the positioning of the
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann zur Detektion der Referenzposition PR bzw. zur Detektion des Abhebens des Abstreifers 25 von der Oberseite 4a des Werkstücks 4 auch ein Detektor bzw. eine Sensoreinrichtung verwendet werden, die in den Abstreifer 25 integriert ist, beispielsweise in Form eines optischen Sensors oder ggf. durch eine Widerstandsmessung bzw. eine Spannungsmessung ermittelt werden, da das Abheben des Abstreifers 25 vom Werkstück 4 den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den beiden Bauteilen unterbricht.Alternatively or additionally, for detecting the reference position PR or for detecting the lifting of the

Bei dem dort gezeigten Stanzwerkzeug 12 bilden der Stanzstempel 9 und der Niederhalter 24 eine gemeinsame Baueinheit, genauer gesagt ist der Stanzstempel 9 mit dem Niederhalter 24 über eine Schraubenfeder 32 verbunden. Das untere Ende des Stanzstempels 9 ist in einer Durchgangsöffnung des im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Niederhalter 24 geführt. Die Schraubenfeder 32 ist zwischen einer das dem Werkstück 4 abgewandte Ende des Stanzstempels 9 bildenden Kopfplatte und einem dem Werkstück 4 abgewandten stirnseitigen Ende des Niederhalters 24 angebracht. Die Federwirkung der Schraubenfeder 32 ist hierbei derart eingestellt, dass in einer Ruhestellung, d.h. ohne eine äußere Krafteinwirkung auf den Stanzstempel 9 bzw. den Niederhalter 24 eine Unterkante 9b des Stanzstempels 9 und eine Unterkante 25a des am unteren Ende des Niederhalters 24 gebildeten plattenförmigen Abstreifers 25 bündig abschließen.

Wenn die Schraubenfeder 32 ihre Ruhestellung erreicht hat, wird der Niederhalter 24 und mit diesem der Stanzstempel 9 durch die Wirkung der Federkraft der weiteren, am Gehäuse 2 vorgesehenen Schraubenfeder 33 nach oben gedrückt, bis der Stanzstempel 9 seine in
Zum Ausschieben eines Werkstückteils kann bei der Aufwärtsbewegung der Stanzstempel 9 bzw. der Stößel 13a in einer Position zugestellt werden, bei welcher der Abstreifer 25 einen Abstand d/2 zur Oberseite des Werkstücks 4 einnimmt, welcher der halben Dicke d des Werkstücks 4 entspricht. Hierzu greift die Steuerungseinrichtung 19, welcher die Position des Stößels 13a entlang der Hubachse 15 aufgrund einer (nicht gezeigten) Wegmesseinrichtung bekannt ist, auf die anhand der Kraftmessung in
Zusammenfassend kann durch das Zustellen des Abstreifers 25 in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von der Oberseite 4a des Werkstücks 4 beim Ausschieben eines Werkstückteils die Prozesssicherheit beim Ausschieben von Werkstückteilen deutlich erhöht werden, da die Einstellung des vorgegebenen Abstandes relativ zur Position der Oberseite 4a des Werkstücks 4 in Richtung der Hubachse 15 erfolgt.In summary, by delivering the
