Abstract
The ejector, penetrating the lower die of the wobble die forging machine, bears a punch vertically displaceable to the former, which interacts with a cutter arranged centrically and rigidly in the upper die to penetrate the workpiece and thrust the thereby resulting excess material into the cutter under the effect of a superimposed movement of stroke of the ejector piston, the movement of stroke of the piston bearing the lower die, and the wobble movement of the upper die. In this way, highly precise through bore in respect of diameter and rotation can be reached, whereby, in addition to this, a concentration of material can be achieved in the hitherto always soft core of the workpiece, which comes nearer to that in the formed edge regions of the workpiece, with which a wall of a hole of finest finish and very high strength results.
Claims6
A wobble-die forging machine, comprising:
- a machine frame;
- a spheroidal pan on an upper portion of said machine frame forming a bell-shaped mounting;
- an upper die received in said bell-shaped mounted so as to execute a wobble motion therein, said upper die having an upwardly extending projection;
- a drive coupled to said upwardly extending projection for generating said wobble motion of said upper die;
- a lower die guided for vertical movement on a lower portion of said frame and juxtaposed with said upper die;
- a hydraulic piston-cylinder pressure system having a pressure piston acting upon said lower die for pressing a blank between said dies, whereby said wobble motion deforms said blank into said dies;
- a vertically displaceable ejector disposed centrally in said piston and axially displaceable therein for ejecting said blank upon deformation from said lower die, said ejector being displaced under the control of a further piston-cylinder system;
- a punch formed on said ejector and constructed to penetrate through said blank upon the deformation thereof with upward displacement of said ejector during deformation of said blank to form a through-bore in said blank;
- and
- a cutter fixedly positioned centrally in said upper die ad cooperating with said punch to separate excess material in the formation of said through-bore from said blank by forcing said excess material into said cutter.
