APPARATUS AND METHOD OF SIZE CORRECTION FOR HOT STAMPING COMPONENT
20180056356 · 2018-03-01 ·

An apparatus of size correction for a hot stamping component is provided. The apparatus includes a jig frame and a plurality of attaching units disposed on the jig frame to rotate in an anteroposterior direction and support a hot stamping component including a quenched component which is partially quenched along the jig frame in the anteroposterior direction. A plurality of clamping units disposed on the jig frame and configured to clamp the hot stamping component. A plurality of measurement units mounted on the jig frame and measure a height of the quenched component based on a predetermined zero base. A plurality of correction units are mounted in front of the jig frame corresponding to the quenched component of the hot stamping component. A force is applied to the quenched component in a vertical direction based on the height size, measured by the measurement unit to adjust the height.

Smart Fixture Distortion Correction System
20170066024 · 2017-03-09 · ·

A distortion correction tool corrects distortion in a workpiece held by a fixture. Sensors in the fixture determine the existence, extent, and location of distortions in the workpiece and a controller directs the application of the distortion correction tool to the workpiece based on the information received from the sensors. Particularly, a ram mounted to a quick-change tool head for a robotic arm is used as a distortion correction tool to correct distortions in a workpiece by inducing plastic deformation through use of compressive force, the extent and location of which is determined by a controller based on sensor measurements.

Gripper head for gripping arrangements for manipulating long workpieces, device for feeding long workpieces into and removing same from a processing machine and method for bend-straightening long workpieces

The invention relates to a gripping head for grasping devices for manipulating a long workpiece in a horizontal arrangement. A gripping head with two clamping jaws which can be adjusted independently of one another can be used. In addition, a device for feeding long workpieces into a processing machine, and discharging them therefrom is proposed. At least one of the grasping devices may have a gripping head for gripping in a frictionally locking fashion one end of the workpiece which is conveyed here by the horizontal conveying means, and drive means for pulling the workpiece to be straightened into the processing section and for pushing the straightened workpiece out onto the at least one horizontal conveying means by means of the gripping head.

Metallic tubular products with enhanced collapse resistance

Metallic tubular products having improved collapse resistance are disclosed. The metallic tubular products are produced by compressive forming processes. The method comprises identifying the types of stress that can be applied in order to change the residual stress profile of metallic tubular products, such as those that have completed a straightening process, and results in a residual stress profile that improves collapse resistance. The metallic tubular products are subjected to radial compression processing to control the residual stress profile and to enhance collapse resistance. The radial compression process may be used after the tubular product has been subjected to a straightening process.
