Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 An exemplary system is shown that is also used to create contour cuts in metal strip. Material, such as metal strip, is unrolled from a roll 2 and provided via an alignment station 3 to a laser cutting station 4 . In the alignment station 3 the material is aligned, or flattened, or indeed suitably prepared for further processing. The metal strip is fed to the laser cutting station 4 via a conveyor and / or other transfer means (not shown). The laser cutting station 4 is here arranged above the processing plane. A workpiece support 1 is mounted below the machining plane. After machining, the now individually present workpieces are stored in the storage station 5 . The laser cutting station 4 is an example of a non-contact working cutting station, for example a waterjet cutting station, a plasma cutting station or an erosion cutting station can also be used.

[0022] The laser cutting station not only cuts rectangular pieces from the metal strip, but also cont...

Abstract

A system for producing components by hot stamping includes a laser cutting station for cutting a plate from a supplied steel-sheet material. The plate has at least one of a predetermined edge-contour and a predetermined cut-out portion for forming a shape of the component. The plate is stored in a storage station, and is subsequently transferred to a furnace station for heating the plate to a predetermined deformation temperature. A press having a hot stamping tool forms the plate into the shape of the component. The system also includes a measuring station disposed downstream of the press for obtaining measurement data relating to the shape of the component that is formed from the plate. The measurement data obtained using the measuring station is provided to a control module of the laser cutting station via a feedback loop.

Description

[0001] Co-filed a Patent Cooperation Agreement (PCT) entitled "System And Method For Hot Stamping Of Components" on October 31, 2014 claiming the priority of DE102013222242.4 Apply. The entire contents of the aforementioned PCT applications are incorporated herein for all purposes. technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to a system for manufacturing components by hot stamping and a method for operating the system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system comprising at least a laser cutting station for creating contours and / or cutouts of parts, a storage station, an oven for heating panels cut to size to a deformation temperature station, and a press with tools designed for hot stamping. Background technique [0003] Hot stamping, also known as press hardening or form hardening, is a relatively new manufacturing method in the automotive industry. Due to their strength, hot stamped parts offer a very high resistance to deformati...
