An wenigstens einer unbesetzten Werkzeugstufe oder an einer Zwischenstation bzw. Zwischenablage (zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Werkzeugstufen), an der die Blechwerkstücke quasi eine Warteposition einnehmen, ist erfindungsgemäß wenigstens eine Messvorrichtung für die automatisierte geometrische Überprüfung der hergestellten Blechformteile angeordnet bzw. positioniert. An dieser Messvorrichtung sollen insbesondere Abweichungen von einer Sollgeometrie erfasst werden. Ferner können insbesondere auch Ausschnitte und Löcher in den Blechformteilen überprüft werden (bspw. hinsichtlich Geometrie und Position). Ferner können auch gezielt einzelne Werkstück- bzw. Blechformteilbereiche, die bspw. Designelemente beinhalten, überprüft werden. Die Messvorrichtung weist wenigstens einen Messplatz für ein Blechformteil auf. Es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Messvorrichtung mehrere Messplätze aufweist, an denen zeitgleich bzw. parallel mehrere Blechformteile (bspw. eine rechte und eine linke Fahrzeugtür) gemessen werden können.According to the invention, at least one measuring device for the automated geometric checking of the formed sheet metal parts is arranged or positioned at at least one unoccupied tool stage or at an intermediate station or clipboard (between two successive tool stages) at which the sheet metal workpieces quasi assume a waiting position.

In diesem Fall können trotzdem alle hergestellten Blechformteile die Messvorrichtung durchlaufen, ohne dass Messwerte erfasst oder ausgewertet werden.It may be sufficient that not every produced sheet metal part is checked, but for example only every 3rd, 5th, 10th, etc., or a random check is carried out. In this case, all of the formed sheet metal parts produced can nevertheless pass through the measuring device without measuring values being recorded or evaluated.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die erfindungsgemäße Pressenstraße mehrere mit dem Transfersystem verketten Pressen aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Messvorrichtung werkzeugartig ausgebildet und in einer der Pressen, insbesondere in der letzten Presse (bezüglich der Werkstückdurchlaufrichtung), angeordnet.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Fertigungslinie 100 eine Messvorrichtung 200 aufweist, mit der im Takt der Fertigungslinie 100 die Geometrie der hergestellten Blechformteile überprüft werden kann. Die Messvorrichtung 200 ist anstelle eines Herstellungswerkzeugs in der letzten Presse 170 angeordnet, so dass jedes hergestellte Blechformteil im Takt der Fertigungslinie 100 mit dem Transfersystem 110 in die Messvorrichtung 200 eingelegt und nach der taktweisen Überprüfung wieder entnommen werden kann. Die werkzeugartig ausgebildete Messvorrichtung 200 ist auf einem Pressenwechseltisch 175 angeordnet. Die Ausschleusung der hergestellten und überprüften Blechformteile erfolgt in Durchlaufrichtung DR, also gemäß Darstellung nach links. Die Entnahme der hergestellten Blechformteile aus der letzten Presse 170 kann auch durch einen Entnahmeroboter oder dergleichen erfolgen, wobei dieser Entnahmeroboter Bestandteil des Transfersystems sein kann.According to the invention, it is provided that the
In
Die Messvorrichtung 200 weist mehrere beispielhaft als Messtaster ausgebildete Messsensoren 251 bis 255 auf, die gegen definierte Referenzpunkte an der Unterseite eines abgelegten Blechformteils 300 messen und hierdurch relevante Geometriedaten des Blechformteils 300 erfassen können, wobei die von den Messtastern 251 bis 255 registrierten Werte zur Auswertung und Weiterverarbeitung an eine nicht gezeigte Computereinrichtung übermittelt werden. Die geometrische Überprüfung des abgelegten Blechformteils 300 kann sofort nach dem Ablegen in der Messvorrichtung 200 erfolgen.The measuring
Anstatt der Messtaster 251 bis 255 oder ergänzend hierzu können auch berührungslose Messsensoren, wie bspw. Lasersensoren oder Laserscanner, vorgesehen sein, wie obenstehend erläutert.Instead of the measuring
Veränderungen und Abweichungen von der Sollgeometrie können noch innerhalb der Fertigungslinie bzw. Pressenstraße 100 in Echtzeit erfasst werden, wobei alle hergestellte Blechformteile 300 im Takt der Fertigungslinie 100 überprüft werden können. Eine zeitnahe Aussage zur Blechformteilgeometrie im Rahmen einer Inline-Überprüfung ist somit möglich, so dass bei unzulässigen Toleranzabweichungen (bzw. bei Nicht-Einhaltung von vorgegebenen Fertigungstoleranzen) und/oder Fehlern sofort in den Herstellungsprozess eingegriffen werden kann. Insbesondere können auch kleinste sukzessive Veränderungen erfasst und dokumentiert werden, so dass auch hierauf reagiert werden kann. Ferner kann eine bauteilindividuelle Dokumentation der Überprüfung erfolgen. Die Überprüfung aller hergestellten Blechformteile ermöglicht zudem weitergehende Auswertungen, wie bspw. eine Korrelationsanalyse zwischen erfassten geometrischen Werten und Pressen- und Materialparametern. Ferner werden auch statistische Auswertungen ermöglicht, die auf Basis bislang durchgeführter Stichproben nicht möglich sind.Changes and deviations from the target geometry can still be recorded within the production line or
Die Messvorrichtung 200 ist als Ablagevorrichtung bzw. Ablagestation (bzw. Messablage) ohne aktive Bewegungs- und/oder Stelleinrichtungen konzipiert. Das Ablegen und Entnehmen der zu überprüfenden Blechformteile bzw. Karosseriebauteile 300 erfolgt mit Hilfe des zur Fertigungslinie 100 gehörenden Transfersystems 110. Die Entnahme kann auch durch einen Entnahmeroboter oder dergleichen erfolgen, wobei dieser Entnahmeroboter Bestandteil des Transfersystems sein kann.The measuring
