Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring and adjusting at least one component, for example a crosshead or pick-up holder, which is guided in a sliding manner between abutments of a press frame within the press frame.
- the invention relates in particular to a method for monitoring and adjusting the position of at least one component that is slidably guided between abutments of a press frame within the press frame, in particular a moving beam and/or pickup holder, the method involving the continuous measurement of a central alignment of the slidably guided component within the press frame and the correction the alignment of the slidingly guided component within the press frame as a function of the recorded measurement result using adjustable guide elements of the slideways of the press.
- the invention also relates to a press with a press frame and with transverse beams that absorb the pressing forces during operation of the press, at least one component that is slidably guided within the press frame, in particular a slidably guided moving beam, ram and/or pickup holder, with sliding guides provided on the guide columns and with adjustable ones Guide elements of the sliding guides.
- Extrusion presses usually work in such a way that a block to be extruded is pressed by a punch in the direction of a die (direct extrusion).
- extrusion presses are also widespread, in which a billet receiver or receiver is pressed against a hollow extrusion die with a metal block (indirect extrusion).
- Such presses include, for example, a press frame with one or more piston-cylinder units acting between a cylinder beam and a counter beam and applying the pressing force, as well as a pickup holder and a moving beam carrying a press ram.
- the crosshead and the pick-up holder can be slid on the guide columns of the press frame.
- adjustable guide shoes that are on the main axis of the press have aligned guide surfaces. For trouble-free operation of such an extrusion press and for high dimensional accuracy of the wall thickness of the hollow profiles produced, it is important that the sensor holder is aligned centrally with the pressing tools.
- DE 39 01 961 A1 discloses a horizontal extrusion press with an axially displaceable pick-up holder and crosshead in the press frame between the lower, weight-intercepting and upper, holding-down guides.
- the pickup holder and the crosshead are provided with adjustable guide shoes for the alignment of the pickup holder and the pressing tools, which are flexibly connected to the pickup holder and the crosshead by pressure elements and are held in positive contact with the upper guides under the compressive force, with between the pickup holder and the Press frame sensors are provided for detecting and displaying an inclination of the transducer axis.
- the measuring sensors are arranged parallel to the pressure elements on the upper, holding-down guide shoes to the pickup holder and to the moving beam between the guide shoes and the pickup holder or moving beam carrying them, measuring and displaying the distance between the guide shoes and the pickup holder or moving beam, and the pressure elements are themselves designed as measuring sensors .
- DE 39 01 961 A1 proposes assigning measured value indicators to the measuring sensors on the control stand of the press, which display any deviations that occur, so that the operating personnel can recognize the extent of the deviations and, if necessary, carry out corrections. Canting, asymmetrical thermal expansion or the like lead to a change in the distance from the end pieces of the pickup holder or the moving beam to the sliding guides, so that the guide shoes shift under the force of the disk spring assemblies provided on them.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a method of the type mentioned at the outset, which enables relatively simple monitoring of the center alignment of the components guided movably in the main axis of the press and automatic correction of the center alignment of these components.
- a method for monitoring and/or adjusting the position of at least one component that is slidably guided between abutments of a press frame within the press frame, in particular a crosshead, ram and/or a pickup holder, the method including the continuous measurement of a central alignment of the slidably guided component within the press frame and the correction of the alignment of the slidably guided component within the press frame depending on the measurement result recorded using adjustable guide elements of the sliding guides of the press, characterized in that the measurement of the centric alignment of the slidably guided component within the press frame The position of two reference points of the slidably guided component is detected in a plane extending transversely to the longitudinal center axis of the press.
- a moving beam of a press can be considered as a slidingly guided component whose center alignment is to be monitored and corrected using the method according to the invention.
- the method is not limited to this; rather, the center alignment of a pickup holder on a press can also be monitored, displayed to a system operator and/or corrected automatically by a corresponding open-loop or closed-loop control.
- the centric alignment or position of the slidingly guided component relative to the main axis of the press or to the longitudinal central axis of the press can be determined in an XY coordinate system.
- the required correction of the alignment of the gliding component can be determined.
- the method can be used regardless of the number of columns or compression sleeves. It is thus possible to monitor and/or adjust the position of a guided component, for example a 2- or 4-column press.
- the measuring arrangement preferably detects a positional deviation of ⁇ 2 mm, preferably ⁇ 0.5 mm, even more preferably ⁇ 0.1 mm, it is also possible to correct small deviations and thus improve the repeatability of the pressing process.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that the reference points or reference markings provided, for example, on the moving beam of the press can be detected optically and thus over a certain distance.
- the reference points are preferably arranged at two points as far apart as possible around the longitudinal center axis of the press and preferably in a plane extending transversely to the longitudinal center axis of the press.
- markings that can be detected by means of a laser come into consideration as reference points.
- the position or location of the reference points is preferably detected by means of at least one measuring arrangement provided on the press frame.
- an image processing system is used as a measurement arrangement sensor system under consideration. This can also be equipped with a laser triangulator to record depth information.
- the adjustment of the guide elements of the sliding guide takes place automatically as a function of the recorded measurement result.
- the number of adjustment processes and/or the adjustment path covered and/or the position data associated with each adjustment process is recorded in a control and/or regulating device.
- the control and/or regulating device can be designed primarily to automatically, i. H. without prompting the operator to initiate an adjustment process on the guide elements of the sliding guide.
- the control and/or regulating device can also output corresponding information to the operator, who then initiates an adjustment process.
- the control and/or regulating device can also output information about the state of wear of the sliding guide.
- the press preferably forms metallic materials.
- the machining forces that occur are high and the required tolerances of the finished pressed components are low.
- the position adjustment according to the invention reduces the wear on the press and can compensate for the deviations in order to comply with the required component tolerances.
- the method is preferably used in open-die forging, drop forging, isothermal forging, ring blank, deep-drawing, extrusion and/or piercing or drawing presses.
- a press is provided with a press frame and, when the press is in operation, transverse beams which absorb the pressing forces, at least one component that is slidably guided on guide columns within the press frame, in particular a moving beam and/or with a pick-up holder, with sliding guides provided on the guide columns and with preferably automatically adjustable guide elements of the sliding guide, with the method described above being carried out on the slidably guided component or on at least two spaced apart, preferably optically detectable, reference points are provided on the moving beam in a plane preferably extending transversely to the longitudinal center axis of the press, and at least one measuring arrangement for detecting the position of the reference points is provided on the press frame.
