Definitions

  • the invention relates to a workpiece guide for a processing machine for elongated workpieces, in particular wire, for guiding a supplied workpiece to a machining tool, with a holder for attachment to the machine tool and with a bracket attached to the bracket, the projecting end portion comprises a tool holder, the the workpiece supplied to it passes through a guide groove and in which a replaceable tool insert is received, which forms the outlet-side end region of the guide groove.
  • Workpiece guides of this type are used on elongated workpieces, such as wire, bar and tube processing machines, for axially guiding the workpiece (such as wire) and dispensing it into the processing space of a downstream processing gear.
  • workpiece guides are generally referred to as “wire guides”, even if they are not used exclusively for wire, but also for other elongated workpieces (rods or tubes).
  • wire guide is used for such a workpiece guide below, even if the relevant workpiece guide is provided for processing machines, which is the processing of workpieces, such as pipes, rods, strips o. ⁇ .
  • the wire guides serve in addition to their function to guide the workpiece in question, but also to serve as a counterpoint when editing (cutting, bending or winding) of the workpiece. In many cases they are exposed to very considerable loads and unavoidable wear. Therefore, the wire guides must be designed according to the specific requirements of the application for which they are intended, and replaced at intervals.
  • JP 08-252645 A is a two-part workpiece guide for a spring manufacturing machine is known, which is supported by a receptacle on the machine.
  • the adjacent two workpiece guide halves are laterally braced against each other and held in this manner.
  • This workpiece guide is relatively long and in turn made of a material with the result that the guide bore over the entire guide length are introduced and thereby the entire workpiece guide must be made of a relatively expensive material.
  • a guide block and between this and a centrally provided in the holder passage opening a two-part guide portion is provided, through which the delivered wire is forwarded to the guide in the guide block.
  • the guide block In its axial central region, the guide block in turn encloses a central axle made of tungsten or another high-speed steel accommodated there, is formed as a tubular body and contains over its axial length a bore which forms the guide groove.
  • a wire guide of the type mentioned is in the DE 10 2009 039 225 B4 described, and forms the basis for the preamble of claim 1.
  • the wire guide consists of a receptacle and one or more tool inserts, which are designed as sliding blocks. In this case, a very high accuracy of the inserts is required, and the fixation of the inserts in the receptacle is expensive.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop a workpiece guide of the type mentioned that while maintaining the limitation of the proportion of high-priced materials while avoiding high passport requirements a simple regrinding excluding the actual wear part as well as a particularly simple production and assembly allowed.
  • the tool holder comprises two receiving parts which support the tool insert on both sides and engage it on its underside over a lateral edge region away with a projecting leg, wherein between two legs over the entire length an intermediate space is formed, within which the tool insert is fixed on its underside on the boom.
  • the tool insert presses in its lateral edge regions on there each under him cross, projecting legs of the two receiving parts of the tool holder and presses them against their assigned in the tool holder bottom , At the same time a tension of the tool insert between the two receiving parts is effected.
  • the design of the individual parts which occur here in the overall arrangement in mutual operative connection, requires neither elaborate designs, nor high fitting accuracies, so that the items, once you see the attachment of the guide in the workpiece holder, are neither expensive in the production , still require a difficult assembly.
  • the tool insert the special requirements (in terms of wear, hardness, impact load, toughness, heat, etc.) of the respective application (such as cutting, forming, friction, etc.) are designed accordingly, as well as for different workpiece geometries (cross sections, diameter), so that a particularly rapid change of the tool insert is possible.
  • the materials of the receiving parts and the tool insert can be chosen in any desired meaningful combination and the use of costly materials are limited to use in the tool insert.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the workpiece guide according to the invention is that the two receiving parts of the tool holder are partially embedded in the boom of the upper side and overlap it with their projecting above each section after the respective outer side. This leads to a particularly large support surface between the arrangement of the tool holder and the boom and thus to a particularly good support of the same at this.
  • the tool insert can be secured to the boom by any suitable fastening means, but most preferably the attachment is by screws or bolts.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the workpiece guide according to the invention also consists in the fact that the two receiving parts of the tool holder below the tool insert are fastened to each other by transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tool holder extending screws or bolts, which in the assembled state additionally causes a tension of the two receiving parts against each other, creating a Particularly good lateral fixation of the tool insert is created.
  • the configuration of the two receiving parts of the tool holder can be made in the invention in any suitable form. However, it is especially advantageous if the two receiving parts of the tool holder formed in mirror image to each other and are also arranged in mirror image to each other on the boom.
  • a favorable embodiment of the invention can also be achieved in that the receiving parts of the tool holder made of PM steel and the tool insert made of hard metal is formed.
  • the tool insert is divided centrally in the longitudinal direction.
  • the two resulting inserts could be formed of different materials, so that z. B. one side (eg., Tungsten carbide) for winding and the other side (7. B. PM steel) used for wire cutting.
  • a lateral recess is provided on each of the legs of the receiving parts, through which the tool insert on the boom can be fixed by a respective fastening means.
  • Fig. 1 shows a section of a (otherwise not shown) wire processing machine, which is associated with a holder 1 or to be attached thereto.
  • a boom 2 On the holder 1, a boom 2 is mounted, which carries a workpiece guide 4 at its front end portion.
  • a workpiece 6 in the form of a wire is conveyed, fed to the workpiece guide 4, by a guide groove 7 formed in the tool insert 8 (cf. FIGS. 2 and 3 ) and then fed to a downstream processing tool (in the case shown: a knife 3).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 For a closer view of the workpiece guide 4 is now on the representations of FIGS. 2 and 3 referenced, wherein Fig. 2 a perspective view of a workpiece guide 4 in the mounted state (but without representation of the boom 2) and Fig. 3 a front view of the workpiece guide 4 from Fig. 2 shows.
  • Fig. 1 nor workpiece attachment designated by the reference numeral 5 consists of two receiving parts 9, 10, each of which rests on one side of the tool insert 8 at this, wherein the tool insert 8, seen in the longitudinal direction of the supplied wire 6 and the boom 2, over the entire length which consists of the receiving parts 9 and 10 existing tool holder 5.
