Driven is the feed slide 9 of electric motors 17, 18 of a Feed drive. Of the electric motors 17, 18 driven Drive pinion mesh with a on the machine frame. 3 attached rack 19.

Wie den Figuren 2 und 3 im Einzelnen entnommen werden kann, ist die Spanneinheit 10 über einen Flansch 20 an dem Vorschubschlitten 9, im Einzelnen an einem Schlittenflansch 21 angebracht. Der plattenartige Flansch 20 bildet eine großflächige Basis für die Lagerung der Spanneinheit 10 an dem Vorschubschlitten 9.As can be seen in Figures 2 and 3 in detail, is the clamping unit 10 via a flange 20 on the feed slide 9, mounted in detail on a carriage flange 21. The plate-like flange 20 forms a large area Base for the storage of the clamping unit 10 on the feed slide 9th

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 und dem Schlittenflansch 21 und somit die Verbindung zwischen dem Spannfutter und dem Vorschubschlitten 9 ist nicht starr sondern vielmehr definiert elastisch. Bewirkt wird die definierte Elastizität der Verbindung mittels Federn 22, die zwischen dem Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 einerseits und Anlagescheiben 23 andererseits vorgespannt sind und auf Bolzen von Verbindungsschrauben 24 aufsitzen. Die Anlagescheiben 23 sind an den freien Enden der Bolzen der Verbindungsschrauben 24 angebracht. Diese liegen mit ihren Schraubenköpfen auf der von der Spanneinheit 10 abliegenden Seite des Schlittenflansches 21 auf und durchsetzen mit ihren Bolzen den Schlittenflansch 21 sowie den Flansch 20. Die von den Bolzen der Verbindungsschrauben 24 an dem Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 durchsetzten Bohrungen besitzen ein Durchmesserübermaß gegenüber den Bolzen der Verbindungsschrauben 24.The connection between the flange 20 of the clamping unit 10 and the carriage flange 21 and thus the connection between the Chuck and the feed slide 9 is not rigid but rather defines elastic. The defined elasticity is effected the connection by means of springs 22, between the Flange 20 of the clamping unit 10 on the one hand and contact washers 23rd on the other hand are biased and bolts of connecting bolts 24 sit up. The plant discs 23 are at the free Ends of the bolts of the connecting screws 24 attached. These lie with their screw heads on the of the clamping unit 10 remote side of the carriage flange 21 and enforce with their bolts the carriage flange 21 and the Flange 20. The from the bolts of the connecting screws 24 at have the flange 20 of the clamping unit 10 interspersed holes a diameter over the bolts of the connecting screws 24th

Aufgrund der beschriebenen Ausgestaltung der Verbindung von Flansch 20 und Schlittenflansch 21 ist der Flansch 20 und mit diesem das an dem Flansch 20 angebrachte Spannfutter der Spanneinheit 10 gegenüber dem Schlittenflansch 21 bzw. dem Vorschubschlitten 9 quer zu der Spannfutterachse 12 gegen die Wirkung einer von den Federn 22 ausgeübten elastischen Rückstellkraft auslenkbar. Zur Führung etwaiger Auslenkbewegungen des Spannfutters bzw. der gesamten Spanneinheit 10 dienen nicht im Einzelnen gezeigte Führungsstifte an dem Schlittenflansch 21, die in zugeordnete und ebenfalls nicht abgebildete Führungsöffnungen an dem Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 eingreifen.Due to the described embodiment of the compound of Flange 20 and carriage flange 21 is the flange 20 and with this attached to the flange 20 chuck of the clamping unit 10 relative to the carriage flange 21 and the feed slide 9 transversely to the chuck axis 12 against the effect a force exerted by the springs 22 elastic restoring force deflectable. To guide any deflection movements of the chuck or the entire clamping unit 10 are not used in detail shown guide pins on the carriage flange 21, the in associated and also not shown guide openings engage the flange 20 of the clamping unit 10.

Auslenkbewegungen des Spannfutters bzw. der Spanneinheit 10 äußern sich in einem Verkippen des Flansches 20 gegenüber dem Schlittenflansch 21. Unter Ausbildung eines keilförmigen Spaltes zwischen den beiden Bauteilen entfernt sich dabei der Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 von dem Schlittenflansch 21. Die damit verbundene Änderung des Abstandes von Flansch 20 und Schlittenflansch 21 wird erfasst mittels Abstandsdetektoren von herkömmlichen Näherungsschaltern 25, 26, 27, die an dem Schlittenflansch 21 angebracht und dabei in Umfangsrichtung des Schlittenflansches 21 voneinander beabstandet sind. Alternativ könnten die Näherungsschalter 25, 26, 27 auch an dem Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 angeordnet sein.Express deflection movements of the chuck or the clamping unit 10 in a tilting of the flange 20 against the Carriage flange 21. To form a wedge-shaped gap between the two components thereby removes the Flange 20 of the clamping unit 10 of the slide flange 21. Die associated change in the distance of flange 20 and Carriage flange 21 is detected by means of distance detectors of conventional proximity switches 25, 26, 27, which on the carriage flange 21 attached and thereby in the circumferential direction of the Carriage flange 21 are spaced from each other. alternative could the proximity switches 25, 26, 27 also on the flange 20th the clamping unit 10 may be arranged.

Steuernd verbunden sind die Näherungsschalter 25, 26, 27 mit einer Kollisionssteuerung 28, die in eine CNC-Steuerung 29 der Biegemaschine 1 integriert ist. Die CNC-Steuerung 29 dient zur Steuerung sämtlicher Funktionen der Biegemaschine 1. Mit ihr verbunden sind neben den Näherungsschaltern 25, 26, 27 beispielsweise auch ein Zustandssensor 30 zur Erfassung des Öffnungszustandes des Spannfutters der Spanneinheit 10 sowie ein Anschlagsensor 31, mittels dessen die Einschubtiefe des Rohres 2 an dem Spannfutter der Spanneinheit 10 überwacht wird. Die Position des Zustandssensors 30 ist abhängig von dem Betriebszustand eines in einem Zylindergehäuse 32 untergebrachten Pneumatikzylinders zum Öffnen und Schließen des Spannfutters.Controllingly connected are the proximity switches 25, 26, 27 with a collision control 28, which in a CNC control 29 of the Bending machine 1 is integrated. The CNC control 29 is used for Control of all functions of the bending machine 1. With her are connected in addition to the proximity switches 25, 26, 27, for example also a state sensor 30 for detecting the opening state the chuck of the clamping unit 10 and a Stop sensor 31, by means of which the insertion depth of the tube 2 is monitored on the chuck of the clamping unit 10. The Position of the state sensor 30 is dependent on the operating state a housed in a cylinder housing 32 pneumatic cylinder for opening and closing the chuck.

Kommt es zu einer Kollision des in dem Spannfutter der Spanneinheit 10 gehaltenen Rohres 2 bzw. des Spannfutters selbst oder eines zwischen diesem und dem Flansch 20 liegenden Bauteils der Spanneinheit 10 mit einem Hindernis und wird infolge dieser Kollision eine Kraft quer zu der Spannfutterachse 12 ausgeübt, so verkippt der Flansch 20 der Spanneinheit 10 gegenüber dem Schlittenflansch 21. Die damit verbundene Änderung des Abstandes von Flansch 20 und Schlittenflansch 21, also das Überschreiten des Abstandsgrenzwertes Null, wird mittels der Abstandsdetektoren der Näherungsschalter 25, 26, 27 erfasst. Aufgrund der festgestellten Abstandsänderung aktivieren die Schalteinheiten der Näherungsschalter 25, 26, 27 die Rollisionssteuerung 28 der Biegemaschine 1. Von der Kollisionssteuerung 28 werden daraufhin die Elektromotoren 17, 18 der Rohrvorschubeinrichtung 8 stillgesetzt. Denkbar ist auch, dass die Elektromotoren 17, 18 der Rohrvorschubeinrichtung 8 im Kollisionsfall von der Kollisionssteuerung 28 in ihrer Antriebsrichtung umgesteuert werden. In diesem Fall wird die Rohrvorschubeinrichtung 8 in einer der Bewegungsrichtung vor Eintritt der Kollision entgegengesetzten Richtung verfahren.If there is a collision in the chuck of the clamping unit 10 held tube 2 and the chuck itself or a component lying between it and the flange 20 the clamping unit 10 with an obstacle and is due This collision a force across the chuck axis 12th exercised, so tilted the flange 20 of the clamping unit 10 opposite the carriage flange 21. The associated change in the Distance from flange 20 and carriage flange 21, so the Exceeding the distance limit zero, is determined by means of Distance detectors of the proximity switches 25, 26, 27 detected. Due to the detected change in distance, activate the Switching units of the proximity switches 25, 26, 27, the Rollisionssteuerung 28 of the bending machine 1. From the collision control 28 then the electric motors 17, 18 of the pipe feed device 8 shut down. It is also conceivable that the Electric motors 17, 18 of the pipe feed device 8 in the event of a collision from the collision controller 28 in its drive direction be redirected. In this case, the pipe feed device 8 in one of the direction of movement before the entry Collision in opposite direction.
