Method for automated pass schedule calculation in radial forging - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051014 titled 'Method for automated pass schedule calculation in radial forging
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for automatically calculating a pass schedule in the radial forging of steel tubes in a radial forging machine. The forging machine consists of at least four forging tools arranged around the circumference of the workpiece, which are set up for synchronous forging operation. Starting parameters for the forging process are entered into a pass plan calculation program, and target parameters for the radial forging process are defined. The pass plan calculation program then calculates a pass plan or forging sequence based on these parameters.
- The method is used in the radial forging of steel tubes in a radial forging machine.
- The forging machine has at least four forging tools arranged around the workpiece.
- The forging tools are set up for synchronous forging operation.
- Starting parameters for the forging process are entered into a pass plan calculation program.
- Target parameters for the radial forging process are defined.
- The pass plan calculation program calculates a pass plan or forging sequence based on the starting and target parameters.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Steel tube manufacturing industry
- Metalworking industry
- Automotive industry
- Aerospace industry
Problems solved by this technology:
- Manual calculation of pass schedules can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Synchronizing the forging operation of multiple tools can be challenging.
- Ensuring consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of forged steel tubes.
Benefits of this technology:
- Automation of pass schedule calculation saves time and reduces errors.
- Synchronous forging operation improves efficiency and productivity.
- Consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of forged steel tubes.
- Increased control over the forging process.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for automatic calculation of a pass schedule in the radial forging of steel tubes in a radial forging machine is disclosed. the forging machine includes at least four forging tools arranged around the circumference of the workpiece, which are set up and adapted for synchronous forging operation over at least a partial length of the workpiece and/or the tube. starting parameters for the forging process, preferably radial forging process, are entered into a pass plan calculation program and target parameters for the radial forging process are defined. the pass plan calculation program calculates a pass plan or a forging sequence on the basis of these start and target parameters.
