Abstract
In order to allow a more targeted intervention in a drawing procedure, in particular on a linear drawing device, the invention proposes a linear drawing machine for the linear drawing of a workpiece through a drawing ring, a drawing unit, in which one or more drawing tools grasp the workpiece and draw it linearly in the drawing direction, being situated behind the drawing ring, the linear drawing device being distinguished in particular by a drawing ring which is situated fixed in relation to the drawing direction during the drawing procedure, preferably perpendicularly, and by a workpiece guide situated in front of the drawing ring in the drawing direction, which is displaceable perpendicular to the drawing direction.
Claims13
A linear drawing machine for the linear drawing of a tube through a drawing ring, the linear drawing machine comprising the drawing ring and a drawing unit, in which one or more drawing tools grasp the tube and draw the tube linearly in a drawing direction, the drawing unit being situated behind the drawing ring,
- wherein a measuring unit is situated in the drawing ring and is directed toward the tube, and
- wherein the measuring unit measures the mass distribution of the tube in the drawing ring.
A method for linear drawing of a tube through a drawing ring, comprising a drawing unit being situated behind the drawing ring, wherein the drawing unit grasps the tube using at least one drawing tool and draws the tube linearly in a drawing direction, wherein a measuring unit situated in the drawing ring and directed towards the tube measures the mass distribution of the tube in the cross-section of the tube and a tube guide is displaced according to the measured mass distribution.
