Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring and regulating open-die forging presses and to an open-die forging press, which is connected to a control and regulation unit and is designed and set up to carry out this method.
- Open-die forging is a forming technique associated with forging that aims to improve the mechanical properties of a workpiece and produce raw parts.
- a workpiece is formed under pressure using tools that move against each other, where the tools can be both smooth and partially contain the shape of the workpiece itself.
- the workpiece shape is created by targeted guidance of the workpiece and by controlling the forming force acting on the workpiece by the tools. This usually requires many working strokes of the tools until the workpiece has taken on the desired shape.
- the workpieces are usually grasped by means of a forging manipulator and gradually formed over the entire length to be formed between a foot line at the beginning of the area to be formed and a hood line at the end of the area to be formed.
- the workpiece length can therefore be determined from the distance between the hood line and the base line.
- Open-die forging occurs as a hot forming process within a predetermined temperature window for the workpiece.
- This workpiece temperature depends on the material and also usually takes it into account desired forming of the workpiece up to the final geometry as well as the forming energy specified by the pass plan and introduced into the workpiece.
- Open-die forging presses are provided that follow steps (a). Calculating the geometry development of a workpiece in open-die forging using empirical models, (b) in parallel, ie simultaneously or at least partially overlapping in time, to step (a) of calculating the workpiece temperature over the cross section of the forged workpiece, (c) calculating the shape change distribution over the workpiece length , preferably using the geometry evolution calculated in step (a), and (d) comprising automatically or manually controlling the shape change distribution at a predetermined area based on the shape change distribution calculated in step (c).
- the solution according to the invention to overcome these problems provides that the workpiece is moved to a defined initial position and a foot line is preferably set there for the forging process.
- the workpiece is then forged and gradually moved through the press to a predetermined end position, which is preferably defined as a hood line.
- the hood line is the beginning of the workpiece, which extends to the foot line described above.
- the workpiece length results from the difference between the hood line and the foot line.
- the geometry development is then calculated using the stitch plan and connections to the width known to those skilled in the art.
- the measurement of the distance between the foot line and the hood line can now be repeated, which makes it possible to record the real geometry development and to correct any errors in the geometry calculation.
- the model for geometry calculation it is possible to record the material-dependent stretching and spreading behavior.
- the press stroke, the press force and/or the manipulator position are detected using suitable sensors and are used by the press and possibly also the manipulator to determine the width and change in length of the workpiece.
- the implementation is usually carried out in operation with one or two manipulators, whereby when using two forging manipulators, the transfer of the workpiece from the first to the second manipulator is preferably also taken into account.
- Temperature is a crucial target variable in open-die forging because it has a significant influence on the material properties, especially the structure of the workpiece. During forging, the temperature can only be measured on the surface, while the temperature inside cannot is measurable.
- the method according to the invention thus provides for the calculation of the workpiece temperature over the cross section of the forged workpiece, this calculation of the workpiece temperature being carried out simultaneously or at least partially overlapping in time, thus parallel to the step of calculating the geometry development of the workpiece in open-die forging using empirical models.
- the calculation of the temperature distribution is preferably carried out using one or more measuring systems, e.g. pyrometers or thermography systems, which measure the surface temperature at one or more points on the workpiece surface.
- the calculation of the temperature distribution inside the workpiece is then carried out with the help of temperature models known to those skilled in the art.
- the calculated temperature distribution is preferably displayed to the press operator, which advantageously supports the monitoring and regulation of open-die forging. In particular, this gives the operator the opportunity to interrupt the process at any time or to change it in the desired way.
- Calculating the geometry development of the workpiece during open-die forging is preferably the basis for a further essential step of the method according to the invention, namely calculating the shape change distribution over the workpiece length.
- the geometry variables obtained when calculating the geometry development are then used as input variables for a shape change model in order to calculate the shape change distribution and thus the core compression during open-die forging in parallel with the process.
- a common shape change model for this purpose has been described, for example, by Dominik Recker in the publication “Development of fast process models and optimization options for open-die forging” from 2014, Shacker-Verlag, Aachen. Calculating the shape change distribution over the workpiece length is of great importance for open-die forging, since the process characteristics during free-forming Form forging results in an inhomogeneous distribution of the shape change in the workpiece.
- the shape change model in particular the shape change model according to Recker described above, is expanded to include further geometries of the workpiece to be forged, in particular with regard to partially overforged blocks, conical blocks, polygonal blocks and round blocks.
- the shape change distribution must be taken into account in a manner known to those skilled in the art, depending on the specific geometries of the workpieces to be produced, when using the shape change model.
- the shape change distribution is finally regulated in a predetermined area based on the previously calculated shape change distribution.
- the invention thus provides a holistic system for process control in open-die forging, in which the process and quality variables geometry, shape change and temperature are used using process data and control algorithms.
- the predetermined temperature window for the open-die forging process is checked and a warning is preferably issued to the press operator when the temperature window defined as permissible for the workpiece is exceeded. It is particularly preferred if the method suggests, preferably automatically, suggestions for continuing the open-die forging process with the aim of achieving an ideal shape change distribution and, if necessary, implements them independently or at least after approval by the press operator.
- the method according to the invention in addition to measuring the workpiece temperature and any measurement signals present from the open-die forging press and/or the at least one workpiece Manipulator, preferably the press stroke, the press force and the manipulator position(s) does not use any further measurement data. This limits the use of measuring sensors and the associated complexity to the necessary minimum while still enabling complete process monitoring of open-die forging.
- steps (a) - (c) i.e. the calculation of the geometry development, the parallel calculation of the workpiece temperature over the cross section and the calculation of the shape change distribution over the workpiece length, are taken into account online during the open-die forging process in order to achieve the fastest possible readjustment of the To enable open-die forging process.
- the calculation of the geometry development includes the calculation of the stretching and spreading behavior of the workpiece, preferably depending on the material. This advantageously supports both the monitoring and the regulation of the open-die forging process itself.
- the parameters determined when calculating the geometry development of the workpiece using empirical models are used as input variables for a shape change model, to which the shape change distribution and preferably in the case of inhomogeneous shape change distribution over the cross section and / or length of the workpiece, also the Core compaction is determined.
- a shape change model to which the shape change distribution and preferably in the case of inhomogeneous shape change distribution over the cross section and / or length of the workpiece, also the Core compaction is determined.
- control and regulation unit displays the calculated variables of geometry distribution and/or shape change distribution and/or temperature change distribution to the operator, preferably also issues warnings in the event of deviations from predetermined ranges and/or suggestions for regulating the open-die forging process with the aim of Compliance with the predetermined ranges and/or to achieve an ideal shape change distribution.
- This provides a process that is capable of producing optimal open-die forging results, optimized pass plans and optimal workpiece quality.
- an open-die forging press which is connected to a control and regulation unit and which is designed and set up to carry out the method according to the invention according to the first aspect described above.
- Figure 1 shows a first view of an open-die forging press at the beginning of the method according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a view of an open-die forging press at the end of the open-die forging process.
- Figure 1 shows an open-die forging press 1 with two mutually movable forging tools 2, 3.
- the upper forging tool 3 is movably arranged against the lower forging tool 2 within the open-die forging press 1, with the workpiece 4, held by a forging manipulator 5, at the beginning of the open-die forging process Forging tools 2, 3 are introduced.
- a foot line 7 is defined, which defines the beginning of the workpiece 4 or at least its length to be forged.
- Figure 2 shows the same open-die forging press 1 as from Figure 1, with the workpiece 4 being completely formed between the forging tools 2, 3 at the end of the open-die forging process.
- a hood line 8 is defined, which defines the end of the workpiece 4 to be formed.
- the elongation AL of the workpiece 4 during the open-die forging process can then be determined from the difference between the foot line 7 from FIG. 1 and the hood line 8.
- the person skilled in the art can also determine the material-dependent width AB based on the mass and volume constancy.
- the geometry development can be calculated using the pass plan carried out during the forming of the workpiece 4 as well as known relationships to the width.
