  • the forming die 11/4 has cheeks 45, 46 which protrude toward the punch-side forming member 24/4 of the forming die 11/4 along the lifting axis 14 to the forming die 12, not shown, and thereby projections 47, 48 of the forming die 11/4 training.
  • the metal sheet 15 previously worked on and the forming tool 13/4 are positioned relative to one another in such a way that, in the case of a machining stroke carried out by the forming punch 11/4 towards the forming die 12, the connecting web 23 to be formed between the projections 47, 48 of FIG Umformstempel 11/4 comes to rest.
  • the projections 47, 48 of the forming die 11/4 With their end faces leading along the stroke axis 14, rest on the contact surface 29 of the forming die 12.
  • the projection of the projections 47, 48 relative to the punch-side forming member 24/4 is dimensioned such that at stroke end position of Umformstempels 11/4 the end face of the punch-side forming member 24/4 of the end face of the die-side forming member 25 along the lifting axis 14 has a distance , which corresponds to the desired residual thickness of the pressure-formed connecting web 23.
  • the stroke end position of the forming die 11/4 engages over the formed connecting web 23 portal-like.
  • the projections 47, 48 of the forming die 11/4 are laterally adjacent to the connecting web 23 in the manner of portal supports.
  • the executed by the forming die 11/4 relative to the forming die 12 processing stroke is force-controlled.
  • the programmable numerical control of the machine tool 1 is for this purpose in FIG. 13 suggestively illustrated stroke control device 49 integrated for the lifting drive of the forming tool 13/4.
  • the stroke control device 49 comprises a force-measuring device 50, an evaluation device 51 and an actuating device 52.
  • the force-measuring device 50 By means of the force-measuring device 50, the amount of the supporting force with which the forming punch 11/4 of the forming tool 13/4 is supported along the lifting axis 14 on the forming die 12 is measured.
  • the evaluation device 51 the measured actual amount of the supporting force is compared with a stored in the stroke control device 49 limit amount of the supporting force. If the measured actual amount of the supporting force reaches the predetermined limit, this indicates that the forming punch 11/4 reaches its stroke end position along the lifting axis 14 Has.
  • the evaluation device 51 then generates a switching signal for the actuating device 52.
  • the actuating device 52 actuates the lifting drive of the forming tool 13/4 to the effect that the processing die of the forming punch 11/4 directed towards the forming die 12 terminates and engages Return stroke of the forming die 11/4 is initiated in the opposite direction of the machining stroke.
  • FIG. 14 FIG. 12 illustrates a process step performed in the processing of the sheet 15 in the illustrated example case before the pressure forming of the connecting webs 23.
  • 23 incompletely separated from each other sheet metal parts are edged on the bottom by separating processing while leaving elastic connecting webs.
  • a forming roller 53 which is loaded in the lower tool holder 10 at the forming station 6 of the machine tool 1.
  • the forming roller 53 acts in the processing of the sheet metal parts of a previously separated processed sheet with a in FIG. 14 Not shown counter-pressure roller together, which is loaded into the upper tool holder 9 of the machine tool 1 and which bears against the top of the machined sheet with a cylindrical outer surface.
  • the forming roller 53 is provided with a biconical bead 54, which has two conical forming surfaces 55, 56.
  • the sheet metal parts in the example according to FIG. 2 the sheet metal parts 19, 20, 21, 22 of the machined plate 15, from the associated skeleton grid (skeleton grid 18 in FIG. 2 ) solved. Due to the cross-sectional reduction of the connecting webs 23, shaking of the machined sheet is sufficient for this purpose. Due to the load acting thereupon, the connecting webs 23 break into the fracture zones produced by pressure forming, wherein, due to the geometry of the punch-side forming members 24, 24/1, 24/2, 24/3, 24/4 and the associated die-side forming members of the forming tools 13, 13 / 1, 13/2, 13/3, 13/4 remain on the sheet metal parts no or at most minimal traces of the connecting webs 23.
  • the diameter-reduced projections of the connecting webs 23 are set back in the interior of the sheet metal parts, so also protrude on the sheet metal parts remains the connecting webs 23 not over the created before the pressure forming of the connecting webs 23 separating surfaces of the sheet metal parts.
