Large testing field for cold plastic forming

对于大尺寸金属材料（板厚>5 mm;尺寸>1 m × 1 m）的冷塑性金属板成形的研究工作，申请人需要一个试验场来进行可扩展的实验研究。需要一种基于模块化控制的自动化绳索引导搬运系统来定位待成型的部件。通过使用模块化机械结构，可以代表通过自由弯曲（例如三点弯曲）、冷锻（例如拉伸）和轧制（例如辊压机）的成形过程。其技术基础是一个振动解耦的多功能夹紧场（尺寸深3 m x宽6 m x高3 m）、一个用于外围测试设置的连接静态夹紧场、一个用于施加成型力的压制工具（2 MN）和一个绳索引导的搬运系统。该设备可用于调查上述生产问题。为了预测复杂的成形行为，必须开发和验证计算模型。这些模型方法构成了开发创新控制算法的基础，用于与过程和处理相关的自动化解决方案。计划的成形任务无法在罗斯托克大学现有的设备上进行。通过应用该设备，可能的成形任务和处理任务的性能范围将显着扩展。

For the research work on the cold plastic metal sheets forming of metallic materials with large dimensions (plate thickness >5 mm; dimensions >1 m x 1 m), the applicants require a test field for carrying out scalable experimental investigations. An automated rope-guided handling system based on a modular control is required for positioning the components to be formed. By using a modular mechanical structure the forming processes by free bending (e.g. three-point-bending), cold forging (e.g. stretching) and rolling (e.g. roller presses) may be represented. The technical basis is a vibration-decoupled multifunctional clamping field (dimensions depth 3 m x width 6 m x height 3 m), a connected static clamping field for peripheral test setups, a pressing tool for applying the forming forces (2 MN) and a rope-guided handling system. This equipment can be used to investigate the production issues mentioned above. For predicting the complex forming behavior, calculations models have to be developed and validated. These model approaches form the basis for the development of innovative control algorithms for automation solutions related to process and handling. The planned forming tasks cannot be carried out on the equipment currently available at the University of Rostock. By applying for the device the performance spectrum of possible forming tasks and handling tasks will significantly expanded.
