Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Umformen von Ziehgütern, insbesondere von Stangen, Profilen und/oder Rohren durch ein Ziehwerkzeug mit einer Ziehkraft und einer Gegenkraft.The present invention relates to a method for forming drawn objects, in particular rods, profiles and / or pipes by a drawing tool with a pulling force and a counterforce.
Aus dem Stand-der Technik sind verschiedene Verfahren zum Ziehen mit einer Ziehkraft und einer Gegenkraft bekannt. Beispielhaft wird auf die Druckschriften
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von den bekannten Umformverfahren durch Ziehen mit Ziehkräften und Gegenzugkräften ein Verfahren vorzuschlagen mit dem ein weiteres Umformen möglich ist.The aim of the invention is, starting from the known forming methods by pulling with pulling forces and Gegenzugkräften to propose a method with the further forming is possible.
Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, die Ziehkraft und/oder die Gegenkraft so zu wählen, dass die Zugspannung im in das Ziehwerkzeug einlaufenden Ziehgut und/oder aus dem Werkzeug auslaufenden Ziehgut höher ist als die Streckgrenze des Ziehgutes. Als einlaufendes Ziehgut wird dabei das Ziehgut verstanden, das sich vor dem Ziehwerkzeug befindet und mittels dem Ziehwerk noch umgeformt wird. Als auslaufendes Ziehgut wird das Ziehgut verstanden, das sich hinter dem Ziehwerkzeug befindet und bereits vom Ziehwerkzeug umgeformt wurde. Dadurch wird da Ziehgut auch vor dem Eintritt und/oder nach dem Verlassen des Ziehwerkszeuges so beansprucht, dass es plastisch verformt wird. Die Umformung findet also beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren nicht nur durch die vom Ziehwerkzeug aufgenommenen Umformkräfte sondern auch vor und/oder hinter dem Ziehwerkzeug durch die im Ziehgut vorliegenden Zugspannungen oberhalb der Streckgrenze statt. Diese Umformvorgänge führen zusammen zur Umformung des Ziehgutes. Die Spannungen im aus dem Ziehwerkzeug auslaufenden Ziehguts oder in dem Ziehgut nach dem Umformung hinter dem Ziehwerkzeug sind überwiegend oder ausschließlich in Längsrichtung des Ziehgutes ausgerichtet.According to the invention, it is proposed to select the pulling force and / or the opposing force so that the tensile stress in the drawing material entering the drawing tool and / or drawing material leaving the tool is higher than the yield strength of the drawn material. As incoming drawn material is understood to mean the drawn, which is located in front of the drawing tool and is still transformed by means of the drawing. As expiring Ziehgut the drawn is understood, which is located behind the drawing tool and has already been transformed by the drawing tool. As a result, since the drawn material is claimed so before the entry and / or after leaving the drawing tool that it is plastically deformed. The deformation thus takes place in the inventive method not only by the forming forces absorbed by the drawing tool but also before and / or behind the drawing tool by the tensile stresses present in the drawn material above the yield strength. These forming operations together lead to the deformation of the drawn material. The stresses in the expiring from the drawing tool or in the Ziehgut after forming behind the drawing tool are mainly or exclusively aligned in the longitudinal direction of the drawn material.
Die Zugspannungen im einlaufenden und/oder im auslaufenden Ziehgut werden so eingestellt, dass es nicht zu einem Bruch des einlaufenden bzw. auslaufenden Ziehguts kommt. Die eingestellten Zugspannungen sind also vorteilhaft kleiner als die Zugfestigkeit des Ziehgutes.The tensile stresses in the incoming and / or outgoing drawn material are adjusted so that there is no breakage of the incoming or outgoing drawn material. The set tensile stresses are thus advantageously smaller than the tensile strength of the drawn material.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann auch dazu benutzt werden um Rohre umzuformen, die über einen fliegenden oder feststehenden Stopfen oder Dorn gezogen werden. Durch das Ziehen mit Gegenzug kann beim Stopfen- bzw. Dornziehen dafür gesorgt werden, dass bei einem Aufweitzug zu keiner oder wenigstens keiner wesentlichen Verschlechterung der Exzentrizität des Rohres kommt.The method of the invention may also be used to reform tubes drawn over a flying or fixed plug or mandrel. By pulling with a counter pull, it can be ensured during plug or mandrel pulling that no or at least no substantial deterioration of the eccentricity of the tube occurs during an expansion pull.
Vorteilhaft wird oder werden unmittelbar hinter dem Ziehwerkzeug vorzugsweise mittels eines oder mehrerer Sensoren ein oder mehrere ausgewählte Längenmaße (Breite, Durchmesser, Tiefen von Nuten, ...) erfasst. Das oder die erfassten Längemaße werden vorteilhaft einem Regler zugeführt, der geeignet und eingerichtet ist, eines oder mehrere der ausgewählten Längenmaße zu regeln. Durch das Regeln soll ein vorbestimmter Sollwert des oder der Längenmaße erreicht werden. Das Regeln des oder der ausgewählten Längenmaße erfolgt durch ein Ändern der Ziehkraft und/oder der Gegenkraft, vorteilhaft durch ein Ändern der Gegenkraft. Die Stellgröße kann also vorteilhaft die Gegenkraft sein. Auch weitere Stellgrößen sind denkbar. Durch diese Regelung von einem oder mehreren ausgewähltenAdvantageously, one or more selected length dimensions (width, diameter, depths of grooves, etc.) are detected directly behind the drawing tool, preferably by means of one or more sensors. The one or more determined lengths are advantageously fed to a controller that is suitable and arranged to control one or more of the selected length measures. By means of the rules, a predetermined nominal value of the length dimension (s) shall be achieved. The regulation of the selected length measure (s) is done by changing the pulling force and / or the counterforce, advantageously by changing the counterforce. The manipulated variable can therefore advantageously be the counterforce. Also more manipulated variables are conceivable. Through this scheme of one or more selected
Längenrnaßen kann eine hohe Maßhaltigkeit der ausgewählten Längenmaße erreicht werden.Langrnaßen a high dimensional accuracy of the selected length dimensions can be achieved.
Es kann von Vorteil sein, Längenmaße oder andere Eigenschaften des Ziehgutes vor dem Einlaufen des Ziehgutes in das Ziehwerkzeug zu erfassen und dem Regler und/oder einem anderen Regler zuzuführen.It may be advantageous to detect length measures or other properties of the drawn material prior to entry of the drawn material into the drawing tool and to supply it to the controller and / or another controller.
Ferner kann von Vorteil sein, Längenmaße oder andere Eigenschaften des Ziehgutes vor dem Umformen des Ziehgutes durch Zugspannungen oberhalb der Streckgrenze vor dem Ziehwerkzeug zu erfassen und dem Regler und/oder einem anderen Regler zuzuführen.Furthermore, it may be advantageous to detect length dimensions or other properties of the drawn material before the forming of the drawn material by tensile stresses above the yield strength before the drawing tool and supply the controller and / or another controller.
Der Regler, einer der Regler oder die Regler können Zustandregler mit einem Beobachter sein. Die Regelgröße ist bzw. sind die zu regelnden Längenmaße. Gegebenenfalls könnten auch noch andere physikalische Größen des Ziehgutes geregelt werden.The controller, one of the controllers or the controllers can be state controllers with an observer. The controlled variable is or are the length measures to be controlled. Optionally, other physical sizes of the drawn material could also be regulated.
Während des Umformens des Ziehgutes durch die sich im Ziehwerkzeug ergebenden Umformkräfte kann das Ziehwerkzeug aus einer Normalposition in einer ausgelenkte Position bewegt werden.During the forming of the drawn material by the forming forces resulting in the drawing tool, the drawing tool can be moved from a normal position in a deflected position.
Eine Normalposition kann das Ziehwerkzeug dann haben, wenn eine Durchtrittsrichtung des Ziehgutes durch das Ziehwerkzeug, eine Bewegungsrichtung es einlaufenden Ziehgutes und/oder eine Bewegungsrichtung des auslaufenden Gutes zusammenfallen.A normal position, the drawing tool then have, when a passage direction of the drawn material by the drawing tool, a movement direction of it incoming drawn material and / or a direction of movement of the outgoing goods coincide.
Die Auslenkbewegung kann quer zu der Durchtrittsrichtung des Ziehgutes durch das Ziehwerkzeug gerichtet sein.The deflection movement can be directed transversely to the direction of passage of the drawn material by the drawing tool.
Während des Umformens des Ziehgutes durch die sich im Ziehwerkzeug ergebenden Umformkräfte kann das Ziehwerkzeug aus einer bzw. der Normalposition gedreht werden. Die Drehung kann um eine Achse quer zu einer Durchtrittsrichtung des Ziehgutes durch das Ziehwerkzeug erfolgen.During the forming of the drawn material by the forming forces resulting in the drawing tool, the drawing tool can one or the normal position to be rotated. The rotation can take place about an axis transverse to a direction of passage of the drawn material through the drawing tool.
Das erfindungsgemäße Ziehverfahren kann mit einer Ziehmaschine durchgeführt werden, bei dem ein ersten Ende des Ziehguts in einem feststehenden Einspannmittel einspannbar ist. Das zweite Ende des Ziehguts ist in einem beweglichen Einspannmittel einspannbar. Das bewegliche Einspannmittel ist mit einem ersten Antrieb verbunden, der das bewegliche Einspannmittel mit einer Kraft in die Ziehrichtung beaufschlagen kann. Zwischen dem feststehenden und dem beweglichen Einspanmittel ist ein Ziehwerkzeug angeordnet, durch welches das mit seinen Enden eingespannte Ziehgut geführt ist. Auch das Ziehwerkzeug ist beweglich und kann durch einen zweiten Antrieb in Ziehrichtung mit einer Kraft beaufschlagt werden. Durch den ersten Antrieb werden Zugspannungen im aus dem Werkzeug auslaufenden Ziehgut erzeugt, während durch den zweiten Antrieb Zugkräfte in dem in das Werkzeug einlaufenden Gut erzeugt werden. Beide Antriebe sorgen für die für die Umformung im Ziehwerkzeug notwendigen Kräfte.The drawing method according to the invention can be carried out with a drawing machine in which a first end of the drawn material can be clamped in a stationary clamping means. The second end of the drawn material can be clamped in a movable clamping means. The movable chuck is connected to a first drive which can apply a force in the pull direction to the movable chuck. Between the fixed and the movable Einspanmittel a drawing tool is arranged through which the clamped with its ends to be pulled out. Also, the drawing tool is movable and can be acted upon by a second drive in the pulling direction with a force. By the first drive tensile stresses are generated in the expiring from the tool drawing stock, while tensile forces are generated in the incoming material in the tool by the second drive. Both drives provide the necessary forces for forming in the drawing tool forces.
Der erste Antrieb ist vorzugsweise so ausgelegt und einstellbar, dass im auslaufenden Ziehgut eine Zugspannung oberhalb der Streckgrenze eingestellt werden kann. Damit ist neben der Umformung im Ziehwerkzeug eine weitere Umformung hinter dem Ziehwerkzeug möglich.The first drive is preferably designed and adjustable so that a tensile stress above the yield strength can be set in the outgoing drawn material. Thus, in addition to the forming in the drawing tool further transformation behind the drawing tool is possible.
