Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of forming or forming sheets (in particular metal sheets) by longitudinal stretching by means of drawing presses.
  • this machine for forming sheet metal by longitudinal stretching, this machine comprising two drawing heads located on either side of a forming tool for the sheet, which drawing heads each comprise a jaw line secured to a support structure which is associated with drawing means and which is mounted on a frame by means of a tilting axis, and at least one tilt cylinder being interposed between said frame and said support structure, to allow rotation of said support structure about said tilting axis.
  • the machines or longitudinal drawing presses are conventionally constituted by two drawing heads arranged vis-à-vis, each comprising a line of jaws for gripping the edges of width of the sheet that is desired to conform.
  • a forming tool on the active side of which the sheet is intended to be applied by force, for the purpose of shaping.
  • the active face of this forming tool is adapted to the profile of the part that one wishes to obtain.
  • the lines jaws vis-à-vis are each associated with actuating cylinders to adapt their positioning in space and to implement the desired stretching function.
  • each jaw line is carried by a support structure equipped with drawing jacks; and this support structure is mounted on a frame by means of a horizontal tilting axis subjected to the action of one or more tilting cylinders.
  • the two frames which carry the jaw lines are mounted on a support frame, at least one of them slidably along an axis of displacement parallel to the axis of stretching.
  • EP-1,726,377 relates to a longitudinal drawing press provided with curved jaw lines, which makes it possible to create a differential traction movement between the central jaw and the peripheral jaws, so as to tend to standardize the drawing state on the surface of the jaw. sheet metal and generate a stretching said "with edge compensation effect".
  • the forming tool located between the two drawing heads needs to be adjusted in height, by means of adapted extensions, depending on the sheet that is wish to conform and draw characteristics to apply to it.
  • the present invention proposes a machine for forming sheet metal by longitudinal stretching, which machine comprises two drawing heads located on either side of a forming tool for the sheet, which drawing heads each comprise a jaw line secured to a support structure which is associated with drawing means and which is mounted on a frame by means of a tilting axis, at least one tilting cylinder being interposed between said frame and said support structure, to allow rotation of said support structure about said tilting axis, and said frame being carried by a support frame, this machine being characterized in that it comprises means interposed between said support frame and said frame, arranged to allow adjustment of the vertical positioning of said tilting axis.
  • Such adjustment means make it possible to adjust the height of the jaw lines on either side of the forming tool; we can thus dispense with the presence of the systems of extensions needed in the machines of the state of the technique and thus simplify the tooling structure.
  • the current adjustment problems of the forming tool are reported on the drawing heads, the corresponding settings being then easier to achieve.
  • These particular means also confer additional adjustment and implementation possibilities. In particular, they make it possible to adjust certain angles and heights during forming, thus making the operation more fluid and improving productivity. The versatility characteristics of the machine are further improved. And, for the machines concerned, it is also possible to implement an edge compensation on the sheet during the forming operation.
  • the frame is mounted on the support frame via a complementary tilt axis, parallel or substantially parallel to the tilting axis, at least one complementary tilt cylinder being interposed between said frame and said support frame to allow the rotational maneuver of said frame about said complementary tilt axis and thus allow adjustment of the vertical positioning of said tilt axis.
  • the tilting axis and the complementary tilting axis preferably extend horizontally or substantially horizontally.
  • said complementary tilt axis is advantageously located on the opposite side of the tilting axis with respect to the associated jaw line.
  • the frame is mounted on the support frame by means which allow it to move relative to said support frame parallel to itself along a vertical axis.
  • Said frame then advantageously consists of a vertical sliding carriage, mounted on vertical rails and operated by one or more cylinders.
  • the machine according to the invention may comprise control means adapted to manage the displacement of the tilt cylinder or jacks and means for adjusting the vertical positioning of the tilting axis, as a function of the spatial position. desired bit lines.
  • the invention also relates to a method of implementing a machine as defined above, consisting in managing the displacement of the tilt cylinder (s) and means for adjusting the vertical positioning of the tilting axis, depending the desired spatial position of the jaw lines.

  • the forming tool 4 is positioned and fixed on extensions 3a which are themselves fixed on the frame 3 between the two drawing heads 2, 2 '; his active face is adapted according to the final shape of the sheet metal parts T that it is desired to obtain.
  • Each drawing head 2, 2 ' consists of a line of jaws 5 carried by mechanical means adapted to give it the desired spatial movements.
  • jaw lines 5 have the function of clamping the width edge of the worked sheet by a jaw grip. They are here each constituted of a juxtaposition of five to eleven jaws 6 (here in this case seven in number); and they are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the drawing direction (marked at 7 on the figure 2 ), or substantially perpendicular to this direction of stretching, to suitably perform their function.
  • Each jaw line 5 comprises means enabling it to be placed in a rectilinear, curved (concave or convex) configuration, or else in S.
  • the jaw line 5 of the two drawing heads 2, 2 ' is placed in horizontal straight position; but it can also be in other configurations, for example in a rectilinear position, inclined at an angle to the horizontal, in an S configuration, or in a convex curved position.
  • the configuration adopted is a function of the inclination and / or the curved shape that one wishes to print on the sheet, so that it can follow the profile of the edge of the tool 4 for the sake of precision of the part performed.
