Abstract

Abstract A hydraulic driven press for embossing, bending, stamping, especially fine or precision blanking, comprising a plunger or ram guided in an upright or stand. The plunger or ram is supported at the stand by means of pressure chambers and a piston, the pressure chambers comprising at least one actuation pressure compartment and a counter pressure compartment which are supplied by a pump or the like with a pressurized medium. Devices measure and determine the displacement path of the plunger or ram and the plunger or ram speed as well as the delivered quantity of pressurized medium. There is also provided a regulation device for regulating plunger or ram movement as a function of the aforementioned measurement values.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 129 words
A hydraulic driven press for embossing, bending, stamping, especially for precision blanking, comprising: support means; a ram guided in said support means; pressure chambers and a piston provided for said ram; said ram being supported at said support means by said pressure chambers and said piston; said pressure chambers comprising at least one actuation pressure chamber and a counter pressure chamber; means for supplying a pressurized medium to said actuation pressure chamber and said counter pressure chamber; means for measuring and determining the displacement path of the ram and the ram speed and the quantity of delivered pressurized medium and for delivering measurement values representative of such measurement operations; a regulation device for regulating the ram movement as a function of the measurement values measured by said measuring means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 129 words
A hydraulic driven press for embossing, bending, stamping, especially for precision blanking, comprising: support means; a ram guided in said support means; pressure chambers and a piston provided for said ram; said ram being supported at said support means by said pressure chambers and said piston; said pressure chambers comprising at least one actuation pressure chamber and a counter pressure chamber; means for supplying a pressurized medium to said actuation pressure chamber and said counter pressure chamber; means for measuring and determining the displacement path of the ram and the ram speed and the quantity of delivered pressurized medium and for delivering measurement values representative of such measurement operations; a regulation device for regulating the ram movement as a function of the measurement values measured by said measuring means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The press as defined in claim 1, wherein: said means for supplying said pressurized medium comprises a pump.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 158 words
The press as defined in claim 1, wherein: said piston is supported by said support means; said regulation device comprises a program transmitter in which there are stored reference values for the displacement path and speed of movement, respectively, of said ram; first reference value-actual value comparison means for comparing the stored reference values with said measurement values and for delivering output signals; second reference value-actual value comparison means to which there is delivered a first input magnitude combined from the output signals of the first reference value-actual value comparison means and as a second input magnitude a measurement value for the quantity of pressurized medium delivered to the pressure chambers; an adjustment device for adjusting the delivered quantity of pressurized medium supplied by said supply means; and said second reference value-actual value comparison means delivering an output magnitude (regulation deviation) to said adjustment device for adjusting the delivered quantity of pressurized medium supplied by said supply means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 59 words
The press as defined in claim 3, wherein: said means for supplying said pressurized medium comprises an axial piston pump embodying delivery adjustment means; said adjustment device comprising a control piston for changing the position of said delivery adjustment means of said pump; and a measuring device for measuring the position of the delivery adjustment means of said pump.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 43 words
The press as defined in claim 3, wherein: said means for supplying said pressurized medium comprises a wobble plate pump having a selectively angularly positionable wobble plate; said adjustment device comprising a control piston for altering the angular position of said wobble plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 64 words
The press as defined in claim 3, wherein: said adjustment device comprises a servomotor; said means for supplying said pressurized medium comprises a pump; a control slide means operated by said pump; said servomotor controlling the control slide means for dosing the quantity of pressurized medium delivered by said pump; and a displacement path-measuring device for measuring the position of the control slide means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
The press as defined in claim 1, wherein: said piston comprises a triple-acting piston structure; said ram having a cylinder recess for receiving said triple-acting piston structure.
