Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for clamping workpieces, in particular round workpieces, and in particular a device and a method for preparing workpieces for clamping.
- the workpieces For machining workpieces in machine tools, especially for machining, the workpieces must be firmly clamped and held in suitable clamping positions. In this case, even greater forces acting on the workpiece during machining operations must not lead to the workpiece moving in the clamping device or being released from it.
- the workpiece should be as easily accessible as possible in order to be able to carry out as many machining operations on the workpiece as possible one after the other in a single clamping.
- the EP 1 071 542 B1 proposes a tensioning method in which, in a preparatory work step, evenly spaced depressions are made on the workpiece, which only serve as coupling elements when tensioning with a corresponding tensioning device, but otherwise have no function.
- the workpieces are held in vices, which have contact surfaces for frictional holding on their clamping jaws and which have form-locking elements that are complementary to the recesses of the workpiece for positive positioning and securing.
- the workpiece is mixed with it and clamped positively and frictionally.
- This PT system has basically been used for both Tried and tested workpieces with straight clamping surfaces as well as workpieces with rounded clamping surfaces.
- An essential element of the post-tensioning system EP 1 071 542 B1 is an embossing station that is used to make a series of indentations on the workpiece. These depressions must match the clamping teeth of the vices, between the jaws of which the workpiece is to be clamped. These depressions must be dimensionally accurate.
- the method according to the invention for clamping workpieces is based on the fact that recesses are made on workpieces, in particular workpieces with curved clamping surfaces such as for example at least partially cylindrical clamping surfaces, into which the projections of the clamping jaws engage when the workpiece is clamped.
- the depressions are applied to the workpiece in a preparatory operation in which the workpiece is plastically deformed, for example by embossing.
- an embossing device is used which has at least one jaw and an abutment, the distance between which can be adjusted.
- the jaw has at least one seat for at least one insert body which has a projection with an edge directed towards the workpiece.
- the distance between the jaws and the abutment is adjusted until the insert body touches the workpiece with at least one point of the projection.
- the insert body penetrates a desired one with its projection Measure into the workpiece and create a recess at this point.
- the insert body forms a stamping tooth, the projection provided on the insert body and the surface areas adjoining its edge being used as stamping teeth. It has been shown that the insert body is only subject to slight wear and tear and has a long service life with a wide variety of materials.
- a specially shaped insert body with a projection provided thereon can be used as the embossing tooth.
- the insert body can be a body provided separately for this purpose or, alternatively, an indexable insert.
- the adjustment of the distance between the jaws and the abutment is preferably force-limited and / or path-controlled. In this way, provided that a maximum force is not exceeded, a predetermined depth of penetration of the insert body into the workpiece is achieved. In this way, the depressions produced on the workpiece have a desired uniform shape regardless of the material properties of the workpiece.
- the workpiece is then clamped in a clamping device, for example in the form of a vice with two or more movable jaws or in the form of a chuck with, for example, three or more jaws that have clamping surfaces with clamping teeth attached to them.
- the clamping teeth fit into the recesses and create a form fit.
- the clamping surfaces lie against the workpiece in the vicinity of the depressions and additionally clamp it with a friction fit.
- a secure storage of the workpiece in the clamping means is thus achieved with little space requirement.
- the periphery of the workpiece is largely freely accessible and can therefore be machined, for example.
- the embossing device which is provided for applying plastic deformation to a workpiece, has at least one first jaw with at least one seat for receiving an insert body.
- An insert body is arranged on the seat and fastened thereto.
- An abutment opposite the insert body is provided on a second jaw. This can be formed, for example, by a flat or curved contact surface or by one or more insert bodies against which the workpiece is pressed during the stamping process.
- An actuator is also provided to move at least one of the jaws toward and away from the other jaw.
- This stamping device has at least one projection designed as a stamping tooth.
- the embossing tooth has, in particular, an edge and adjoining surface areas which enclose a wedge angle with one another. This is preferably between 45 ° and 90 ° and is preferably 60 °.
- the insert bodies are preferably releasably attached to the respective seat and can thus be exchanged if necessary.
- the insert body has a polygonal border, for example, and preferably has two or more rotational symmetry. The insert bodies can thereby be attached to the jaw in two or more positions. In this way, the insert body can be fastened in a different position on the seat after it has been worn accordingly, in order to continue to serve as a stamping tooth.
- the projection of the insert body can have a strip-like shape and extends along a side surface of the insert body. This projection forms a stamping tooth which is set up to produce a recess with a precisely predetermined shape on the workpiece.
- the strip-like projection is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface of the jaw. This enables the workpiece to be fastened later in a particularly secure manner in a chuck prepared for this purpose.
- the strip-like projection preferably has a triangular cross-section. This makes the embossing process easier.
- the projection is preferably straight and adjoins at least one of its two flanks on a surface that is designed as a workpiece contact surface. This defines the depth and shape of the embossed recess on the workpiece.
- the seats provided for receiving the insert bodies are designed as pockets from which the insert bodies protrude when they are arranged therein.
- the jaws preferably have a workpiece support surface over which the insert bodies protrude.
- FIG. 1 a stamping device 10 is illustrated, which is used to prepare a workpiece 11 for clamping in a chuck equipped for this purpose.
- the workpiece 11 is symbolized by a ring.
- Workpieces 11 can, however, also have other shapes, in which case they follow a cylinder, at least in sections, only in a lower zone 12 of their circumferential surface adjoining the base surface.
- the workpiece 11 can later be received in a rotating chuck, for example in order to carry out turning operations, turn-milling operations or the like.
- the embossing device 10 includes two jaws 13, 14, the distance from one another of which can be adjusted in a controlled manner by means of an actuating device 15.
- the two jaws show how from the Figures 2 and 3 emerges, on their upper side in each case a workpiece support surface 16, 17, which are preferably arranged lying in a common plane.
- the jaw 14 has at least one, preferably a plurality of seats 18 to 22, which can be embodied, for example, as pockets with a polygonal border.
- the jaw 13 also has a plurality of seats 23 to 27, which are preferably designed as polygonally delimited pockets, which preferably correspond in shape and size to the seats 18 to 22.
- Insert bodies 28, 29, 30, 31 are attached to 23 to 27 of the two jaws 13, 14 and are each secured with a suitable fastening means, for example a screw.
- the insert bodies 28 to 31 serve as embossing teeth or also as abutments for the respective opposing embossing tooth.
- the insert bodies 28 to 31, like the seats 18 to 27, are designed to be identical to one another.
- the in Figures 4 and 5 The illustrated insert bodies 28 and the description thereof below are therefore representative of all the insert bodies 28 to 31 used on the embossing device 10.
- the insert body 28 has, for example, a hexagonal, non-equilateral, but three-fold rotationally symmetrical outline. On the three shorter edges of this hexagonal outline, strip-like projections 32 to 34 are formed, which protrude radially outward and form embossing teeth.
- the insert body 28 below its hexagonal head, the insert body 28 according to FIG Figure 5 a polygonal, for example hexagonal shaft 35, which can also have a hexagonal outline and fits into the seats 18 to 27 with little play.
- the hexagonal shaft 35 preferably has a non-equilateral contour with three-fold rotational symmetry. In other words, the shaft 35 can be inserted into the relevant pocket 19 in three positions rotated by 120 ° in relation to one another.
- the strip-like projection 32 corresponds to the strip-like projections 33, 34 and has, as now Figure 5 shows, preferably a wedge cross-section in which two wedge surfaces 37, 38 adjoin a penetrating edge 36.
- the penetrating edge 36 is oriented in the circumferential direction with respect to the workpiece 11 as well as with respect to the insert body 28.
- the radius of curvature of the penetration edge 36 is preferably greater than zero, but again preferably less than a tenth of the length of the wedge surface 37, measured from the penetration edge 36 to the adjacent workpiece contact surface 39.
- the wedge angle defined by the wedge surfaces 37, 38 has an angle bisector, which lies in a plane 40, which contains all penetrating edges 36 of all strip-like projections 32 to 34 and is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface 17.
- the wedge surface 38 merges into a side surface of the insert body 28, which is offset back from the workpiece contact surface 39.
- the penetration body 28 can consist of powder steel, a hard metal, ceramic or another hard material.
- the embossing device 10 described so far operates as follows: In preparation for the later clamping of the workpiece 11, it is inserted into the embossing device 10. For this purpose, the jaws 13, 14 are first moved apart by means of the actuating device 15 so that the workpiece 11, as in FIG Figure 1 and 2 indicated, can be placed on the workpiece support surfaces 16, 17 without touching the insert bodies 28 to 31. In the next step, the actuating device 15 is activated so that it moves the jaws 13, 14 towards one another, for example by moving the movable jaw 14 towards the stationary jaw 13. The workpiece 11 comes into contact with the strip-like projections 32 (i.e.
- the embossing teeth of the individual insert bodies 28 to 31 and centers itself between them automatically, so that all four insert bodies 28 to 31 with their strip-like projections 32 on the lower zone 12 of the outer circumferential surface of the workpiece 11 are in contact. Furthermore, the strip-like projections 32 penetrate into the workpiece 11 with a constant increase in the penetration force until the penetration force rises abruptly as a result of the contact between the workpiece contact surface 39 and the workpiece 11. With this procedure, regardless of the material properties and the geometric properties of the workpiece 11, for example its spring properties, a uniform embossing depth achieved.
- the actuation device 15 is designed so that it monitors the actuation force during the stamping and, if a limit value of the actuation force or a limit value of the change in force is exceeded, switches off and moves the jaws 13, 14 apart again to release the workpiece.
- insert bodies 28 to 31 specially prepared for the embossing process instead of the specially shaped insert bodies 28, it is also possible to use other elements, for example hard metal bodies, such as are used as indexable inserts, as insert bodies 28 ′.
- Figure 6 shows an example in which the cutting edge of the indexable insert used as the embossing tooth is used as the penetration edge 36 '.
- the insert body 28 ' such as Figure 7 shows to be supported on a surface or a seat 19 which is inclined towards the receiving surface 16 in order to achieve a recess with a standard component, such as an indexable insert, when used as an insert body 28 ', which with respect to a horizontal plane (plane , which is parallel to the workpiece support surface 16) is symmetrical.
- a standard component such as an indexable insert
- An embossing device 10 for preparing a mixed positive and frictional clamping of workpieces 11 in a corresponding chuck.
- the embossing device 10 has jaws 13, 14 with embossing teeth, which are formed on insert bodies 28 to 31.
- the insert bodies 28 each have a penetrating edge 36 with which they penetrate the workpiece surface in order to produce a recess with defined dimensions.
- a Workpiece contact surface 39 is formed, which stops the penetration process of the strip-like projection as soon as the workpiece contact surface 39 comes into contact with the workpiece surface when the embossing process is carried out. If the workpiece contact surface 39 meets the workpiece 11, the force required to move the jaw 14 rises steeply, from which a control device generates a switch-off signal for the actuating device 15.
- Such a control or monitoring of the embossing process makes it possible to prepare workpieces 11 of different geometries and made of different materials in an embossing process for the later clamping process without the embossing device 10 having to be readjusted to the geometry or the material of the workpiece 11.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Spannen von Werkstücken, insbesondere runden Werkstücken, und insbesondere eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Vorbereitung von Werkstücken zum Spannen.The invention relates to a device and a method for clamping workpieces, in particular round workpieces, and in particular a device and a method for preparing workpieces for clamping.
Zur Bearbeitung von Werkstücken in Werkzeugmaschinen, insbesondere zur spanenden Bearbeitung, müssen die Werkstücke auf geeigneten Spannplätzen fest aufgespannt und gehalten werden. Dabei dürfen auch größere bei Bearbeitungsvorgängen an dem Werkstück angreifende Kräfte nicht dazu führen, dass sich das Werkstück in der Spannvorrichtung bewegt oder aus dieser löst. Andererseits soll das Werkstück möglichst gut zugänglich sein, um in einer einzigen Aufspannung nacheinander möglichst viele Bearbeitungsvorgänge an dem Werkstück durchführen zu können.For machining workpieces in machine tools, especially for machining, the workpieces must be firmly clamped and held in suitable clamping positions. In this case, even greater forces acting on the workpiece during machining operations must not lead to the workpiece moving in the clamping device or being released from it. On the other hand, the workpiece should be as easily accessible as possible in order to be able to carry out as many machining operations on the workpiece as possible one after the other in a single clamping.
Die
Ein wesentliches Element des Spannsystems nach der
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Vorbereiten eines Werkstücks zum Spannen anzugeben, mit dem sich bei einem großen Spektrum von aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen bestehenden Werkstücken an diesen maßhaltige Vertiefungen erzeugen lassen.It is the object of the invention to provide a method for preparing a workpiece for clamping, with which dimensionally accurate depressions can be produced on a large spectrum of workpieces consisting of different materials.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Spannen von Werkstücken beruht darauf, dass an Werkstücken, insbesondere Werkstücken mit gewölbten Spannflächen wie beispielsweise wenigstens abschnittsweise zylindrischen Spannflächen, Vertiefungen angebracht werden, in die Vorsprünge der Spannbacken beim Spannen des Werkstücks eingreifen. Die Vertiefungen werden insbesondere in einem vorbereitenden Arbeitsgang an dem Werkstück angebracht, in welchen das Werkstück beispielsweise durch Prägen plastisch verformt wird. Dazu wird eine Prägevorrichtung genutzt, die wenigstens einen Backen und ein Widerlager aufweist, deren Abstand zueinander verstellbar ist. Der Backen weist wenigstens einen Sitz für wenigstens einen Einsatzkörper auf, der einen auf das Werkstück hin gerichteten Vorsprung mit einer Kante aufweist. Zur Durchführung eines Prägevorgangs wird der Abstand zwischen den Backen und dem Widerlager verstellt bis der Einsatzkörper mit wenigstens einer Stelle des Vorsprungs das Werkstück berührt. Durch weitere Verringerung des Abstands zwischen dem Widerlager und dem Backen dringt der Einsatzkörper mit seinem Vorsprung um ein gewünschtes Maß in das Werkstück ein und erzeugt so an dieser Stelle eine Vertiefung. Der Einsatzkörper bildet einen Prägezahn, wobei der an dem Einsatzkörper vorgesehene Vorsprung und die sich an seine Kante anschließenden Flächenbereiche als Prägezahn genutzt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass der Einsatzkörper dabei lediglich einer geringen Abnutzung unterliegt und bei verschiedensten Materialien eine hohe Standzeit aufweist. Als Prägezahn kann dabei insbesondere ein speziell geformter Einsatzkörper mit daran vorgesehenem Vorsprung genutzt werden. Der Einsatzkörper kann ein gesondert für diesen Zweck bereitgestellter Körper oder ersatzweise eine Wendeschneidplatte sein.The method according to the invention for clamping workpieces is based on the fact that recesses are made on workpieces, in particular workpieces with curved clamping surfaces such as for example at least partially cylindrical clamping surfaces, into which the projections of the clamping jaws engage when the workpiece is clamped. In particular, the depressions are applied to the workpiece in a preparatory operation in which the workpiece is plastically deformed, for example by embossing. For this purpose, an embossing device is used which has at least one jaw and an abutment, the distance between which can be adjusted. The jaw has at least one seat for at least one insert body which has a projection with an edge directed towards the workpiece. To carry out a stamping process, the distance between the jaws and the abutment is adjusted until the insert body touches the workpiece with at least one point of the projection. By further reducing the distance between the abutment and the jaw, the insert body penetrates a desired one with its projection Measure into the workpiece and create a recess at this point. The insert body forms a stamping tooth, the projection provided on the insert body and the surface areas adjoining its edge being used as stamping teeth. It has been shown that the insert body is only subject to slight wear and tear and has a long service life with a wide variety of materials. In particular, a specially shaped insert body with a projection provided thereon can be used as the embossing tooth. The insert body can be a body provided separately for this purpose or, alternatively, an indexable insert.
Die Verstellung des Abstands zwischen dem Backen und dem Widerlager erfolgt vorzugsweise kraftbegrenzt und/oder weggesteuert. Damit wird sofern eine maximale Kraft nicht überschritten wird, eine vorgegebene Eindringtiefe des Einsatzkörpers in das Werkstück erreicht. Damit haben die an dem Werkstück erzeugten Vertiefungen unabhängig von Materialeigenschaften des Werkstücks eine gewünschte einheitliche Form.The adjustment of the distance between the jaws and the abutment is preferably force-limited and / or path-controlled. In this way, provided that a maximum force is not exceeded, a predetermined depth of penetration of the insert body into the workpiece is achieved. In this way, the depressions produced on the workpiece have a desired uniform shape regardless of the material properties of the workpiece.
Das Spannen des Werkstücks erfolgt nachfolgend in einer Spannvorrichtung, beispielsweise in Gestalt eines Spannstocks mit zwei oder mehreren beweglichen Backen oder in Gestalt eines Spannfutters mit beispielsweise drei oder mehreren Backen, die Spannflächen mit daran angebrachten Spannzähnen aufweisen. Die Spannzähne passen in die Vertiefungen und bewirken einen Formschluss. Die Spannflächen legen sich in Nachbarschaft der Vertiefungen an das Werkstück an und spannen dieses ergänzend reibschlüssig. Es wird somit eine sichere Lagerung des Werkstücks in dem Spannmittel bei geringem Platzbedarf erreicht. Der Umfang des Werkstücks ist weitgehend frei zugänglich und kann somit zum Beispiel spanend bearbeitet werden.The workpiece is then clamped in a clamping device, for example in the form of a vice with two or more movable jaws or in the form of a chuck with, for example, three or more jaws that have clamping surfaces with clamping teeth attached to them. The clamping teeth fit into the recesses and create a form fit. The clamping surfaces lie against the workpiece in the vicinity of the depressions and additionally clamp it with a friction fit. A secure storage of the workpiece in the clamping means is thus achieved with little space requirement. The periphery of the workpiece is largely freely accessible and can therefore be machined, for example.
Die erfindungsgemäße Prägevorrichtung, die zur Anbringung plastischer Verformung an einem Werkstück vorgesehen ist, weist mindestens einen ersten Backen mit wenigstens einem Sitz zur Aufnahme eines Einsatzkörpers auf. An dem Sitz ist ein Einsatzkörper angeordnet und daran befestigt. An einem zweiten Backen ist ein dem Einsatzkörper gegenüber liegendes Widerlager vorgesehen. Dieses kann beispielsweise durch eine ebene oder gewölbte Anlagefläche oder durch einen oder mehrere Einsatzkörper gebildet sein, gegen die das Werkstück beim Prägevorgang gedrückt wird. Außerdem ist eine Betätigungseinrichtung vorgesehen, um wenigstens einen der Backen auf den anderen Backen hin und von diesem weg zu bewegen.The embossing device according to the invention, which is provided for applying plastic deformation to a workpiece, has at least one first jaw with at least one seat for receiving an insert body. An insert body is arranged on the seat and fastened thereto. An abutment opposite the insert body is provided on a second jaw. This can be formed, for example, by a flat or curved contact surface or by one or more insert bodies against which the workpiece is pressed during the stamping process. An actuator is also provided to move at least one of the jaws toward and away from the other jaw.
Diese Prägevorrichtung weist mindestens einen als Prägezahn ausgebildeten Vorsprung auf. Der Prägezahn weist insbesondere eine Kante und sich anschließende Flächenbereiche auf, die miteinander einen Keilwinkel einschließen. Dieser liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 45° und 90° und beträgt vorzugsweise 60°. Die Einsatzkörper sind an dem jeweiligen Sitz vorzugsweise lösbar befestigt und können somit bedarfsweise ausgewechselt werden. Der Einsatzkörper ist zum Beispiel polygonal umrandet und weist vorzugsweise eine zwei- oder mehrzähligen Drehsymmetrie auf. Die Einsatzkörper können dadurch in zwei oder mehreren Stellungen an dem Backen befestigt werden. Damit kann der Einsatzkörper nach entsprechendem Verschleiß in einer anderen Position am Sitz befestigt werden, um weiter als Prägezahn zu dient.This stamping device has at least one projection designed as a stamping tooth. The embossing tooth has, in particular, an edge and adjoining surface areas which enclose a wedge angle with one another. This is preferably between 45 ° and 90 ° and is preferably 60 °. The insert bodies are preferably releasably attached to the respective seat and can thus be exchanged if necessary. The insert body has a polygonal border, for example, and preferably has two or more rotational symmetry. The insert bodies can thereby be attached to the jaw in two or more positions. In this way, the insert body can be fastened in a different position on the seat after it has been worn accordingly, in order to continue to serve as a stamping tooth.
Der Vorsprung des Einsatzkörpers kann eine leistenartige Form aufweisen und sich entlang einer Seitenfläche des Einsatzkörpers erstreckt. Dieser Vorsprung bildet einen Prägezahn, der dazu eingerichtet ist, an dem Werkstück eine Vertiefung mit genau vorbestimmter Form zu erzeugen.The projection of the insert body can have a strip-like shape and extends along a side surface of the insert body. This projection forms a stamping tooth which is set up to produce a recess with a precisely predetermined shape on the workpiece.
Der leistenartige Vorsprung ist vorzugsweise parallel zu der Werkstückauflagefläche des Backens orientiert. Damit gelingt eine besonders sichere spätere Befestigung des Werkstücks in einem dazu hergerichteten Spannfutter.The strip-like projection is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface of the jaw. This enables the workpiece to be fastened later in a particularly secure manner in a chuck prepared for this purpose.
Der leistenartige Vorsprung weist vorzugsweise einen Dreiecksquerschnitt auf. Dies erleichtert den Prägevorgang. Der Vorsprung ist vorzugsweise gerade ausgebildet und grenzt an zumindest einer seiner beiden Flanken an eine Fläche, die als Werkstückanlagefläche ausgebildet ist. Damit werden Tiefe und Form der geprägten Vertiefung am Werkstück festgelegt.The strip-like projection preferably has a triangular cross-section. This makes the embossing process easier. The projection is preferably straight and adjoins at least one of its two flanks on a surface that is designed as a workpiece contact surface. This defines the depth and shape of the embossed recess on the workpiece.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die zur Aufnahme der Einsatzkörper vorgesehenen Sitze als Taschen ausgebildet, aus denen die Einsatzkörper herausragen, wenn sie darin angeordnet sind. Die Backen weisen vorzugsweise eine Werkstückauflagefläche auf, die von den Einsatzkörpern überragt wird. Beim Prägen wird das Werkstück auf die Werkstückauflagefläche jedes Backen aufgesetzt wonach der Prägevorgang durch Verringerung des Abstands zwischen den Backen eingeleitet und durchgeführt wird. Durch diese Konfiguration ist die Axialposition jeder erzeugten Vertiefung bezogen auf die Stirnfläche eines zylindrischen Werkstücks eindeutig festgelegt. Die erfindungsgemäße Prägevorrichtung ist somit robust, dauerhaft und genau.In a preferred embodiment, the seats provided for receiving the insert bodies are designed as pockets from which the insert bodies protrude when they are arranged therein. The jaws preferably have a workpiece support surface over which the insert bodies protrude. When embossing, the workpiece is placed on the workpiece support surface of each jaw, after which the embossing process is initiated and carried out by reducing the distance between the jaws. This configuration clearly defines the axial position of each recess produced in relation to the end face of a cylindrical workpiece. The embossing device according to the invention is therefore robust, durable and accurate.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Prägevorrichtung 10 ist zur Vorbereitung einer gemischt form- und reibschlüssigen Spannung von Werkstücken 11 in einem entsprechenden Spannfutter vorgesehen. Die Prägevorrichtung 10 weist Backen 13, 14 mit Prägezähnen auf, die an Einsatzkörpern 28 bis 31 ausgebildet sind. Die Einsatzkörper 28 weisen jeweils eine Eindringkante 36 auf, mit der sie in die Werkstückoberfläche eindringen, um eine Vertiefung mit festgelegten Abmessungen zu erzeugen. Dazu ist an dem Einsatzkörper 28, vorzugsweise in Nachbarschaft zu dem leistenartigen Vorsprung 32, eine Werkstückanlagefläche 39 ausgebildet, die den Eindringvorgang des leistenartigen Vorsprungs stoppt, sobald die Werkstückanlagefläche 39 bei der Durchführung des Prägevorgangs mit der Werkstückoberfläche in Berührung kommt. Trifft die Werkstückanlagefläche 39 auf das Werkstück 11 steigt die zur Bewegung des Backens 14 erforderliche Kraft steil an, woraus eine Steuereinrichtung ein Abschaltsignal für die Betätigungseinrichtung 15 generiert.An
Eine derartige Steuerung bzw. Kontrolle des Prägevorgangs macht es möglich, Werkstücke 11 verschiedener Geometrien und aus verschiedenen Materialien in einem Prägeverfahren für den späteren Spannvorgang vorzubereiten, ohne dass die Prägevorrichtung 10 jeweils auf die Geometrie oder das Material des Werkstücks 11 hin neu justiert werden müsste.Such a control or monitoring of the embossing process makes it possible to prepare
