  • This family of workpieces comprises those having a main axis and substantial radially projecting portions more or less equally spaced around the main axis.
  • a more particular aspect of the invention consists in apparatus which enables this result to be achieved by producing a piece such as an intermediate rough shape workpiece from a parting billet or a desired final piece from the same starting billet or from said rough shape workpiece.

  • FIGS. 6-8 pieces similar to the pieces in FIGS. 1-3 are designated by the same reference numerals plus ten.
  • the pieces formed by the tool setup according to the invention are improved from the point of view of mechanical strength owing to the fact that the bores of the holes 13 at the ends of the arms and the central bore 14 in the central body 11 of the piece are connected to their substantially flat bottoms 21 and 22, respectively, by fillets 23 and 24; similarly, the faces 25 at the free ends of the arms are connected to the outer surface of their respective arms and lateral surface of the bores 13 by the rounds or curved connecting zones 18 and which replace the chamfers 8 and 10; and finally, the contours of the centers or recesses 19 are also rounded.
  • fillets and rounds of the above types avoid stress concentrations which are caused by presence of more or less sharp angles. Further, the rounds 18 at the open ends of the bores 13 at the free ends of the arms improve the quality of the force fit of the ends of the arms in corresponding stud pins in the bore of the stub axle to be driven. Such rounds and fillets would be very difiicult to mass produce by conventional methods.

Accordingly, each punch 29 and 30 undergoes a displacement relative to the die equal to one half the working stroke of compression of the billet. Under the action of this compression, the lower extension 95 of the upper punch 29 penetrates into the billet.

  • the accuracy of the relative position of the three die sectors 28 during this return stroke, in which the surface finishing of the arms of the tripods is effected, is of primary importance.
  • the angular guiding and wedging of the blocks 32 about the vertical central axis of the setup as well as the operative pushing surface are displaced toward the periphery of the device along the slotted members 35, which are held radially by the two plate members 37 and 38, by bearing on the cylindrical surfaces of the internal recesses of the plate members.
  • the three die sectors 28 are strenuously squeezed against one another by a radial centripetal force F of the order of -200 metric tons. Consequently, the die sectors act as a one-piece die during the extrusion operation per se. Indeed, the inclined bearing faces 89 create, owing to the angles they make with the radial forces F, radial centripetal components which put the entire active central zone of the extrusion die under compression and thereby replace hooping commonly used for extrusion.
  • the strictness and the accuracy of the verticality and radiality of the extrusion sectors 21 are obtained easily owing to the descending position controlled by the central members: the ring 61 and the spacer 68.

  • the vertical rams 210 carrying their punches have reached the end of their travel with respect to the oblique rams, and since the two half-dies between which the punches are held move downwards with the piston 103 owing to the presence of the closed rigid loop described above, there is no further relative movement betweeen the rams 210 and 212.

  • the piston 103 then ensures by itself the rest of the downward movement of the rams 212 through the elements 140 and 134, and therefore the penetration of the horizontal punches 108 and 109 into their associated openings in the half-dies.
  • the punches 108 size the arms 12 of the tripod to their exact desired length and form the bores 13 in the ends of the arms of the tripod arms, and the punches 109 formed the centers 19. The position of the tool setup at the end of the stroke is clearly shown in FIG. 18.
  • the press piston is then raised and the other members, parts and elements of the device return to their positions as shown in FIG. 15, the spring 173 effecting the return movement of the rams 212 and therefore their moving apart from one another and the moving apart of the punches 108, 109.

  • cam surfaces shown in the drawings could conceivably be varied in their radial or vertical dimensions as a function of the part to be formed.
  • the force looping system may also be effected in such a way that the force exerted along the axis of the press on the tripod to be finished, by means of the laterally operating punches, is at every moment proportional to the force of penetration of the punches into the workpiece.

  • the inevitable variations in the hardness of the starting metal does not modify the quality of the grooves formed.
  • a second advantage of the rigid closed looping system is to produce an axial force in the range of 100 metric tons or more in a simple manner by avoiding spring systems which take up a great amount of space and are prohibitive in cost, without increasing the force necessary for the operation of the press.
