Device and method for producing a thin-walled component

A method for producing a thin-walled component from an initial part with a device, the device comprising

• a first coil body having a first electrical conductor that is arranged at least in one plane,
• a second coil body having a second electrical conductor that is arranged at least in a second plane,
• an electrical circuit for providing a pulsed electrical current, which pulsed electrical current can be applied to the first electrical conductor of the first coil body and to the second electrical conductor of the second coil body,
• a die with a support facing the first coil body for the initial part to be reshaped, the support having an identical shape of the thin-walled component to be produced, and
• a blade by which a first partial area can be at least partially cut from a second partial area of the initial part,
• the method comprising the following steps:
• a) providing the initial part and arranging the initial part between the first coil body and the die;
• b) applying the pulsed electrical current to the first coil body and generating an electromagnetic force between the first coil body and the initial part so that the initial part is accelerated towards the die and to the blade and generating an electromagnetic force between the blade and the initial part so that the blade is accelerated towards the die;
• c) reshaping the initial part, and
• d) at least partially cutting the initial part with the blade.

A device for producing a thin-walled component from an initial part, comprising:

• a first coil body having a first electrical conductor that is arranged at least in a first plane,
• a second coil body having a second electrical conductor that is arranged at least in a second plane,
• an electrical circuit for providing at least one pulsed electrical current, which at least one pulsed electrical current can be applied to the first electrical conductor of the first coil body and to the second electrical conductor of the second coil body,
• a die with a support facing the first coil body for the initial part to be reshaped, the support having an identical shape of the thin-walled component to be produced, and
• a first blade arranged on or adjacent to the die and a second blade movable by the second coil body towards the die, by each of which a first partial area of the initial part can be at least partially cut from a second partial area of the initial part,
• wherein the initial part is first arranged between the first coil body and the die,
• wherein an electromagnetic force acting between the first coil body and the initial part accelerates the initial part towards the die, and an electromagnetic force acting between the second coil body and the second blade accelerates the second blade towards the die,
• is deformed by the support and at least partially cut by the first blade and/or the second blade.
