Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a profiling system for longitudinally shaping a metal strip or an initial profile into a profile or tube.
  • Profiling systems with several roll forming tools arranged one behind the other in the feed direction of a workpiece as well as tools for processing the workpiece, such as punching, welding, embossing, cutting, sawing, are known (e.g. from Profilmetall brochure " profiling systems, roll forming tools, profiles, co-engineering ", from April 25, 2017 ). With such systems, it is desirable for both the manufacturer of the system and the user to be able to lengthen or shorten the system with simple means and to be able to arrange various tools in any order, and especially in the area of roll forming tools, the effort for the conversion to be kept as low as possible.
  • a roll forming device is described in which a metal inserted at the end is profiled in the longitudinal direction by means of top rolls and bottom rolls.
  • the roll forming device described there is designed in the form of a box-shaped module.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a possibility that enables a profiling system, which can contain roll forming tools as well as punching, cutting to length or welding devices, to be built in any order or to be rebuilt as required.
  • the profiling system according to the invention for longitudinally forming a metal strip or an initial profile into a profile or tube is characterized in that several profiling system modules for longitudinally forming a metal strip or an initial profile into a profile or tube, with several profiling system modules, each with a module housing, which have a work / production area , has a drive area, a supply area and a storage area and the areas are spatially separated at least in the module transverse direction and each profiling system module can be combined laterally in the module longitudinal direction with other profiling system modules of the same structure, the profiling system modules having different or identical tools in the work / production area depending on the intended use and at least one profiling system module as a profiling module in the work / production area has a plurality of roll forming tools.
  • a profiling system can thus consist of all or only individual such profiling system modules adapted to the intended use.
  • a profiling system can consist of a punching module at the beginning and a cutting module at the end and have profiling modules in between. It is also possible to arrange a further punching module between the profiling modules and / or a welding module.
  • the arrangement of the individual profiling system modules in the sequence in the transport direction of a workpiece is arbitrary and an extension and restriction can be made at any time.
  • each profiling system module has a module housing which has a work / production area, a drive area, a supply area and a storage area and can be combined laterally in the longitudinal direction of the module with other profiling system modules of the same type.
  • the work / production area is used to hold tools for machining a workpiece and is usually accessible from the front by the operator. which, depending on the case, also serve to isolate or seal the individual areas from one another, depending on the application.
  • the areas are advantageously arranged identically in each profiling system module, in such a way that the module housing, viewed in a lower section from an operator side, has a supply area arranged at the rear and a storage area arranged at the front.
  • the module housing expediently has a drive area arranged at the rear and a work / production area arranged at the front with an upper section viewed from an operator side.
  • the punching module and / or the cutting module additionally has a drive unit with a tool slide for continuous punching or cutting in the work / production area in order to move the punching tool or cutting tool in the transport direction of the workpiece in a known manner to be able to.
  • the profiling module has several jointly driven upper rollers and several jointly driven lower rollers in a roller forming tool. These are driven by means of at least one assigned top roller module and bottom roller module with gear output shafts for the top rollers and bottom rollers of the roller forming tool.
  • the roller modules are arranged one above the other, have an identical structure and, depending on the desired drive and length of the roller module, can be connected via module connecting elements that can be plugged onto connecting shafts, i.e. they are structurally identical and only differ in that the corresponding opening in the housing is either closed on the side facing the drive or have transmission input shafts. It is the same with connecting shafts between the roller modules.
  • the distance between the transmission output shafts for the upper rollers and the transmission output shafts for the lower rollers can be variably adapted.
  • the top rollers and the bottom rollers of a profiling module can be driven and controlled with a drive motor, for example an electric servo motor, but the separate drive of the top rollers and the bottom rollers is preferred.
  • the profiling module, the welding module, the punching module and the cutting module have a hood surrounding the work / production area, which is hinged to a drive housing surrounding the drive area and can be transparent or opaque depending on the intended use.
  • the hood is used to protect the environment from noise, dirt, damage from radiation, etc.
  • each module housing has a connecting device for aligning profiling system modules arranged in a row, in particular in the form of centering bolts that can be inserted on the adjacent sides and guided in centering pockets on the respective module housing.
  • the profiling system modules can be aligned in various ways. The aforementioned type is preferred.
  • the profiling system module has an integrated control device that can be connected to a central control device for the entire profiling system to which further profiling system modules can be connected.
  • the profiling system module has an integrated control device that can be connected to a central control device for the entire profiling system to which further profiling system modules can be connected.
  • all profiling system modules are independent and can be integrated into the profiling system or removed from it without any further effort.
  • This requirement is given in particular for the profiling modules, since, depending on the length of the workpiece to be machined, a large number of profiling modules are often arranged in a profiling system in the workpiece transport direction and some of them have to be added or removed.
  • the profiling system according to the invention for longitudinally shaping a metal strip or an initial profile into a profile or tube is characterized in that there are several profiling system modules according to one of several of the preceding claims.
  • a profiling system can thus consist of all or only individual such profiling system modules adapted to the intended use.
  • a profiling system can consist of a punching module at the beginning and a cutting module at the end and have profiling modules in between. It is also possible to arrange a further punching module between the profiling modules and / or a welding module.
  • the arrangement of the individual profiling system modules in the sequence in the transport direction of a workpiece is arbitrary and an extension and restriction can be made at any time.
  • the central control device is set up to activate connected control devices of profiling system modules, in particular profiling modules and / or welding modules, and to integrate them into the overall regulation and control of the profiling system.
  • the central control device is programmed in such a way that a certain number of slots for profiling system modules of any kind to be inserted can be simply selected after connection and thus integrated into the overall process. This is particularly important for profiling modules and welding modules, because the profiling modules in particular are exchanged more frequently (shortening or lengthening the machining path) due to the workpiece to be profiled.
  • profiling system according to the invention or the profiling system module, it is thus ensured that it is possible to react quickly to the requirements made, since the user only has to remove or add modules.
  • the similar structure of the individual profiling system modules ensures simple installation in the longitudinal direction of the system, also with regard to the laying of supply lines and cables in the supply area, accommodation of oil pans in the storage area or other necessary facilities.
