- EP 2 134 483 B1 discloses a method for determining a setting parameter value of a bending press, in which parameters of a workpiece to be bent in a bending process are fed to a control device of the bending press. Before the bending process is completed, the workpiece is subjected to an eddy current measurement. A measured value of the electromagnetic reaction of the workpiece to an alternating field is determined. One of the parameters is formed by this measured value. This measure is intended to provide a bending process in which a particularly high bending accuracy is achieved is determined by fluctuations in the properties of the starting material and taken into account in the bending process.
- the object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a method or a device with which the setting of machining parameters or the selection or creation of machining programs is further optimized.
- the aim is to minimize the difference between the desired and the achieved machining result.
- the process should also be able to take fluctuations in material properties into account in different batches or within one batch.
- This object is achieved with a method mentioned at the outset by: (d) bending the workpiece sample by means of a bending device, the at least one measurement being carried out on the workpiece sample in at least one bent state of the workpiece sample.
- steps (a) - (d) has no chronological meaning.
- steps (b) and (d) can be carried out simultaneously or in immediate succession.
- Properties of the workpiece sample in the bent state should be determined.
- Steps (b) and (d) can preferably also be repeated several times, in particular in order to be able to carry out measurements in the case of states bent to different degrees. Only the taking of the workpiece sample is at the beginning of the process.
- the processing device is a bending machine, in particular a bending press
- the accuracy of the bent parts is increased by the invention.
- compliance with defined gap dimensions is of great importance for process quality.
- the defined gap dimension can be better maintained. Knowing material properties obtained in connection with a bent workpiece sample can also lead to a better machining result in other machining processes.
- the steps (b) and (d) of the method according to the invention carried out on the workpiece sample are carried out before the actual machining of a workpiece, which is carried out by means of the determined material and / or machining parameters and / or the selected machining program.
- the workpiece sample on which the measurement is carried out and the workpiece to be machined later are different pieces. In other words: workpiece sample and workpiece are not one and the same part.
- a test method carried out beforehand which is carried out separately from the subsequent machining process and on a workpiece sample specially taken for this purpose.
- Steps (b) and (d) are preferably carried out on a workpiece sample in a test device provided for this purpose, while the machining of a workpiece (with the previously determined material or machining parameters and / or the previously selected machining program) in one of the testing device independent processing device (eg bending press).
- the testing device independent processing device eg bending press
- an apparatus in which a material sample is deformed by means of bending.
- the material data can be determined on the basis of the forming force / moment and the resulting forming, in particular curvature or bending radius or angle, on the material sample and then optimized.
- a suitable process model will be used to optimize the material data.
- the process data material parameters, machining parameters, in particular bending angle, angle, springback, immersion depth, bending radius, etc.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending of the workpiece sample is carried out by means of the bending device by free bending.
- the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample is carried out here in a bending state which is achieved exclusively by free bending, and thus in the freely bent state of the workpiece sample.
- the (bent) shape of the workpiece sample caused by the (free) bending process is not included in the tools involved in the bending process.
- the workpiece sample does not take the form of a tool.
- the forming of the workpiece sample is only controlled by the movement of the tools. This enables material properties to be determined regardless of the tool used.
- the material or machining parameters obtained by freely bending a workpiece sample provide particularly precise machining results in a (subsequent) machining process in a workpiece machining device on a workpiece (which comes from the same piece or the same batch as the workpiece sample).
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending of the workpiece sample is carried out by means of the bending device without lateral force.
- the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample is carried out here in a bending state which is achieved by bending without lateral force. Bending without shear forces results in pure bending stress without additional shear forces. There are only bending stresses in the forming zone. With bending force-free bending, the ends of the workpiece sample are clamped and moved towards each other. The at least one measurement on the workpiece sample is thus carried out in this bending state of the workpiece sample which is free from external transverse forces. This enables a particularly authentic bending flow curve of the workpiece material to be determined.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending of the workpiece sample takes place by means of the bending device by pure moment bending. In the case of pure torque bending, there are only bending moments in the workpiece sample. Such a method enables a particularly precise and optimized determination of material / processing parameters.
- Another embodiment is characterized in that the bending of the workpiece sample is carried out by means of the bending device by die bending or swivel bending.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one measurement is carried out on the workpiece sample by means of at least one sensor which is integrated in the bending device.
- the bending device takes on the function of a fully equipped test device.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one measurement comprises the measurement of the bending radius of the workpiece sample, the bending radius preferably being measured by means of an optical sensor, in particular a laser sensor, or a tactile sensor.
- the bending radius is a meaningful characteristic of the bending condition. In the case of free bending in particular, the bending radius is only influenced by the movement of the tools, but not by their shape. The bending radius thus provides immediate information about the degree of deformation caused by a load condition.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one measurement comprises the measurement of the bending angle of the workpiece sample, the bending angle preferably being measured by means of an incremental encoder.
- the bending angle like the bending radius, is a characteristic feature of a bending state. In particular in the case of transverse force-free bending or pure moment bending, the bending angle can be measured in a simple manner in the region of the clamped ends of the workpiece sample, for example with an incremental encoder designed as an angle sensor.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one measurement comprises the measurement of the force and / or the bending moment with which the workpiece sample is subjected during the bending process, preferably the force and / or the bending moment by means of a Piezo sensor and / or a strain sensor (DMS) is measured ge.
- the information about the force or the bending moment that causes a certain degree of deformation give information about the moment-strain relationships in the material.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that measurements are carried out in step c) at different bending states of the workpiece sample. In this way, stress-strain relationships, preferably a bending flow curve, can be recorded, the course of which represents a characteristic of the workpiece sample or the workpiece.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that a bending flow curve (i.e. the yield stress depending on the degree of deformation) is determined from the measurements on the workpiece sample, in particular the yield stress depending on the degree of deformation.
- a bending flow curve i.e. the yield stress depending on the degree of deformation
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that, depending on the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample and / or depending on the evaluation of the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample, at least one machining parameter for the control of the workpiece machining device can be determined.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the workpiece processing device is a bending machine, in particular a bending press or a swivel bending machine, and the processing parameters determined as a function of the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample are the immersion depth and / or springback and / or Bending shortening and / or the type of one or more bending tools (s), in particular the size, shape and / or material of the bending tool (s) to be used and / or the amount of the pressing force, in particular the maximum pressing force, and / or the time profile the pressing force and / or the reversal position (immersion depth) of a bending tool and / or the stop position of at least one back stop.
- the processing parameters determined as a function of the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample are the immersion depth and / or springback and / or Bending shortening and / or the type of one or more bending tools (s), in particular the size, shape and / or material of the bending tool (s)
- step (d) and the measurement (s) carried out in the bending state are particularly advantageous in particular for bending machines because the bending behavior is tested beforehand on a workpiece sample.
- Free, in particular shear-free bending is particularly suitable for step (d) because the degree of deformation is independent of the shape of the tool used and therefore provides general (i.e. independent of the test facility) parameters. Knowing this workpiece property (s), the machining parameters of the bending machine, which also includes the selection of the bending tools, can now be determined.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that by means of a process simulation program, which is based on the at least one determined material parameter and / or the at least one determined machining parameter and / or the selected machining program, a machining process of a workpiece is simulated in a workpiece machining device , at least one machining parameter for the control of the workpiece machining device being adapted as a function of the simulation result.
- the simulation result can be compared with a target bending result (ie the desired bending result) and, for example, a processing parameter can be adjusted (ie changed) depending on the deviation between the simulation and the target bending result.
- the simulation can then be repeated one or more times with the machining parameter (s) that have now been adjusted.
- the machining parameter (s) for the actual bending process on a piece (in the workpiece processing device) are successively optimized. This process preferably does not take place on the workpiece to be machined, but on the workpiece sample.
- the workpiece sample is preferably bent only once and by optimizing the parameters for the simulation, very good machine setting parameters should then be determined.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending of the workpiece sample is simulated by means of a bending device according to step (d) by means of a calculation based on at least one material parameter, and that, depending on the deviation of the simulation result from the result, that is obtained from the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample in at least one bent state of the workpiece sample, at least one material parameter is adapted, the calculation for simulating the bending process preferably being repeated at least once with an adapted material parameter and / or preferably the at least one material parameter, which is used as the basis for the calculation and adjusted, comprises the bending flow curve.
- the test method itself which is carried out in the bending device, is simulated.
- the simulation in comparison to the (test) bending process actually carried out enables precise determination of optimized material parameters, such as the course of the optimized bending flow curve.
- the bending flow curve is a curve of the yield stress as a function of the degree of deformation, which is approximated, for example, using approximation equations.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one material parameter comprises a flow curve, in particular a bending flow curve, and that, based on an initial flow curve, a variable, in particular a torque-curvature relationship, is determined by calculation, which is determined by means of the bending device Measurement he is averaged, and that depending on the deviation of the size calculated from the flow curve and the size obtained from measurements, the flow curve is adjusted, preferably in iterative steps, preferably until the deviation falls below a predetermined limit.
- This measure enables an optimized material parameter - (bending) flow curve - to be provided, which also enables the machining of the workpiece in the bending machine to be optimized.
- the goal is also achieved by a method for machining, preferably bending and / or cutting and / or welding, a plate-shaped, preferably sheet-shaped workpiece in a workpiece machining device, the control of the workpiece machining device depending on at least one material parameter of the workpiece and / or at least one machining parameter and / or one machining program is carried out.
- the determination of the at least one material parameter and / or that of the at least one machining parameter and / or the selection or creation of the machining program for controlling the workpiece machining device is carried out according to the invention, in particular according to one of the preceding embodiments.
- the advantage of the invention is particularly evident in connection with bending machines (for example bending presses).
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending device by means of which the workpiece sample is bent is a device separate from the workpiece processing device, the bending device preferably being operable independently of the workpiece processing device.
- the bending device is a test device specially designed for testing workpiece samples.
- the bending device is preferably designed to carry out a free, in particular transverse force-free, bending process. This means that the material parameters can be determined more or less independently of the tool. In many cases, such independence makes it possible to determine optimized machining parameters for the machining process in the workpiece machining device.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the workpiece processing device is a bending machine, preferably a bending press or a swivel bending machine, wherein preferably the bending of the workpiece in the bending machine and the bending of the workpiece sample in the bending device are of different types, preferably that The workpiece is bent in the bending machine by die bending and / or the workpiece sample is bent in the bending device by die bending or by free bending, in particular by bending without lateral force.
- the workpiece processing device is a bending machine, preferably a bending press or a swivel bending machine, wherein preferably the bending of the workpiece in the bending machine and the bending of the workpiece sample in the bending device are of different types, preferably that The workpiece is bent in the bending machine by die bending and / or the workpiece sample is bent in the bending device by die bending or by free bending, in particular by bending without lateral force.
- Bending "different types" in this context means that the bending process in the bending machine and the bending device in the bending device differ in qualitative terms, in particular by the type of tools used or by the forming process itself - for example, die bending, in which the workpiece at least partially assumes the shape of the bending tool, vs. free bending, in which the bending state or the shape of the workpiece sample caused by the bending process (on which the measurements are also carried out) is independent of the tool shape.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the workpiece processing device and the bending device communicate with one another via a data connection, preferably the measurement results and / or the evaluation of the measurement results of the at least one measurement on the workpiece sample and / or at least one of the Measurement results of determined material parameters and / or machining parameters and / or a selected machining program are transmitted to the control of the workpiece machining device.
- the otherwise independent devices communicate with each other here and thus ensure automated integration of the test procedure (on a workpiece sample) and its results in the subsequent machining process (on a workpiece).
- the object of the invention is also achieved with a bending device for bending a workpiece sample comprising at least one receptacle for the workpiece sample and at least one sensor for carrying out at least one measurement on the workpiece sample in at least one bent state of the workpiece sample, the bending device preferably being a die bending device or a bending device for free bending, before preferably shear-free bending, preferably pure moment bending, is a workpiece sample.
- This provides a bending device as a test device for use in a method according to the invention.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the receptacle has a first bearing block and a second bearing block, one bearing block being displaceable relative to the other bearing block along a displacement direction and the bearing blocks are each rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation, preferably the axes of rotation being substantially normal to the direction of displacement. In this way, a transverse force-free bending process is made possible, the opposite ends of the workpiece sample are each fixed to one of the bearing blocks.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bearing blocks each have a clamping device, in particular a screw or hydraulic clamping device or a wedge connection, with which one side of the workpiece sample can be clamped in each case.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bearing blocks are each connected to a lever and can be rotated by this.
- the levers By - preferably synchronously - actuating the levers, e.g. by spreading them apart, the clamped workpiece sample can be brought into a bent state particularly easily and reproducibly or successively into states with an increasing degree of deformation.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending device has at least one sensor, preferably an optical sensor, in particular a laser sensor, and / or a tactile sensor, which is preferably set up to measure the bending radius of the workpiece sample.
- an optical sensor in particular a laser sensor
- a tactile sensor which is preferably set up to measure the bending radius of the workpiece sample.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending device has at least one force and / or pressure and / or moment sensor, in particular a piezo sensor and / or a strain sensor (DMS), which preferably for measuring the on at least one the bearing blocks acting forces is set up.
- DMS strain sensor
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bending device has at least one position and / or displacement and / or angle sensor, preferably in the form of an incremental encoder, for determining the position and / or the relative position and / or the angle of rotation of the bearing blocks.
- the aim is also achieved by arranging a workpiece machining device for machining a workpiece, preferably a bending machine, in particular one Bending press or a swivel bending machine, and / or a cutting and / or welding device, in particular laser cutting and / or laser welding device, and a bending device according to the invention, the workpiece processing device and the bending device being separate, in particular independently operable devices, preferably in the are arranged in the same room or directly next to one another and / or are connected to one another via a data connection.
- the invention also relates to the use of a Biegevor device according to the invention or an arrangement according to the invention in a method according to the invention.
- one or more samples can be taken from a sheet of metal to be processed (e.g. at an angle of 0 °, 90 °, 45 ° to the rolling direction), these samples being shaped in the bending device serving as a test device and from the forming or out measure of the deformation material data are determined.
- the technology parameters are determined according to the orientation on the sheet.
- the bending device (for determining the material or processing parameters) can comprise a unit for forming the sheet, a measuring unit for force measurement or bending moment measurement, a unit for displacement measurement or angle measurement and / or a unit for detecting the sheet sample curvature.
- the bending device is designed for pure moment bending.
- the measurement or material data determination takes place here in a bending state of the workpiece sample, which is achieved by pure torque bending.
- the bending device is designed for a so-called 3-point bending (comparable to die bending).
- the bending state is achieved here in that the workpiece sample lies on two outer points and a shear force is applied at a further point between the outer points.
- the process for determining the material data or parameters can proceed as follows: The sheet metal sample is placed in the bending device (manually or automatically) and preferably clamped there. Now the measuring process is started, a moment is introduced into the sample (e.g. using a lever or directly with a motor). This moment is measured. At the same time, the curvature and / or the bending angle are recorded. The measurement data are then processed, and a (bending) flow curve is calculated (for example, according to the Nadai bending theory).
- the flow curve can then be optimized, the previously determined flow curve serving as the starting value.
- the flow curve is now varied until the deviation of the calculated torque curvature curve and the measured torque curvature curve falls below a defined error measure.
- suitable machining parameters bending technology parameters
- the machining programs are selected, corrected or newly created accordingly.
- the sheet metal sample can be inserted (manually or automatically) into the bending device.
- the "die width", ie the distance between the outer support points, can be adjusted according to the sheet thickness.
- the measuring process takes place. It is applied by applying force - preferably centrally - between the support points e.g. bent the sheet with a (radius) stamp.
- a force measurement and / or a displacement measurement is carried out (e.g. on a movable Fager block or on the (radius) punch).
- the curvature curve on the outer edge of the sheet metal or (additionally) the bending angle can be determined.
- the test process can be simulated using semi-analytical calculations. This calculation approach is now used to optimize the flow curve.
- the starting value for the flow curve can be e.g. an artificial flow curve over the parameters: standard yield strength, standard tensile strength, standard elongation and modulus of elasticity; to be generated.
- a bilinear flow curve can thus be created, which in turn is fitted with the flow curve approximation used below.
- This fitted flow curve in turn serves as a starting value for the flow curve optimization, which contributes to a further improvement the determination of the material parameters.
- the (previously generated) flow curve is varied and the test process is recalculated with it using, for example, semi-analytical simulation.
- the flow curve is varied until the deviation of the bending force curvature between test and calculation falls below a defined error measure. With this variant it can also be taken into account that the curvature is not constant.
- the processing parameters bending technology data
- the programs can in turn be selected, corrected or created accordingly.
- rolling direction influences can also be taken into account here.
- the data determined specifically for the material can be "attached" to the production order if the production is networked accordingly (keyword: Industry 4.0). So it will be possible to e.g. for parts with very high accuracy requirements (e.g.
- the (test) bending device can be used by a service provider to determine technology data for customers who send the material samples.
- the customer who also carries out the subsequent machining on the workpiece, can be provided with a (test) bending device with which he can determine the technology data himself.
- This device can be networked with production planning and provide technology data for the material of an order.
- Cutting e.g. using a laser cutting machine
- bending program for a bending machine
- the bending device can function independently (e.g. you can determine technology data (material or processing parameters) at the time of goods receipt for each batch of sheet metal, or you can integrate the bending device and the results obtained with it into the laser cutting process (e.g. the laser cutting machine first cuts samples and based on the determined technology values of the samples, the cutting program and the bending program are adapted, corrected or optimized)
- the (test) bending device can also be arranged on the bending machine in order to determine the material and / or processing parameters on site (although the cutting can are no longer corrected here; but the bending program can be automatically corrected so that tolerated leg lengths fit and the cutting error is distributed to the other legs (with lower accuracy requirements).
- the measuring technology can be integrated into a bending tool and the measurement can be carried out directly in the bending machine.
- the free bending method but also the 3-point bending or the die bending, is easy to implement, for example by an adjustable die with appropriate sensors for measuring force, curvature and / or immersion depth is provided.

- the workpiece sample 2 is clamped on one side between two tools and is bent at another point using a tool (here: downwards) (see arrow F).
- a tool here: downwards
- the bending device could also be a die bending device.

It is particularly preferred if a bending flow curve is determined from the measurements on the workpiece sample 2, which curve shows in particular the yield stress as a function of the degree of deformation.
- a bending flow curve determined by (transverse force) free bending and subsequent optimization is shown in FIG. 8 (continuous line) and contrasted with a flow curve from tensile tests (dashed line).

- FIG. 9 shows a possible embodiment for determining the bending flow curve as a material parameter.
- An initial bending flow curve 23 is assumed, which can be found, for example, in a database for a specific workpiece. From this bending flow curve, a size is determined by means of a calculation model 24, which can also be determined with the bending device 1 by means of measurements. This size can be, for example, the moment curvature curve M / p. The size (M / p) caic determined by means of the calculation model 24 is compared with the size (M / p) test obtained from measurements in the bending device 1 (see box 25). In the event that the deviation err is less than a predetermined limit value p limit , the optimal bending flow curve has been reached.

It is preferred if the bending device 1 by means of which the workpiece sample 2 is bent is a device separate from the workpiece processing device 10 (FIG. 7). The bending device 1 can be actuated independently of the workpiece machining device 10.
- FIG. 7 shows such an arrangement of a workpiece processing device 10 for processing a workpiece 11, here a bending press, and an (additional) bending device 1 according to the invention.
