Metal-Working Feeding Devices TRIZ Cases

By placing the gas supply unit off pipe transfer lines, this forming layout avoids transport blockage, shrinks moving mechanisms, and cuts cycle time.

Adjustable roller spacing enables multiple pipe bending radii while a coupled fastener secures the air conditioning pipe to a reinforcement mat.

Pre-positioning the hot workpiece away from forging tools cuts contact time, reducing cooling, tool heat input, and vibration transfer.

By positioning the weld away from the longest die radius, early die contact cools and strengthens it to prevent thinning and breakage.

A movable drawing unit repositions after cutting to maintain precise feed of oblong metal products and reduce scrap length.

Repeated bending with upper and lower rollers relieves centrifugal-cast flange stress while improving flatness and material uniformity.

Coordinated radial guides, skates, and a bending die hold equal positions to achieve exact profile diameters despite elasticity and thickness tolerances.

A downward-sloping feed path and buffer space use gravity to curb fluttering and inertial vibration during high-speed plate supply.

An overhead collection unit lifts metal products directly from a machine transfer zone to transport, reducing floor clutter and work area interference.

Intermittent forward and reverse rotation lets hot steel coils transform in steps, preventing collapse and ovalization during transport.

A two-stage press line coins blanks before drawing rectangular cans, cutting tooling cost and delivery time while keeping production flexible.

Grooves in the mask sheet edge zone suppress tensile-force waves, preserving flatness and deposition pattern quality during frame fixation.

Separating blank coining from drawing and ironing with conveyor transfer cuts can tooling cost and shortens changeovers for different can sizes.

Same-side motor placement and an intermediate gear synchronize feed rolls to raise plate conveyance accuracy and capacity without added width.

Edge compression forms a thickened sheet portion that opens a durable gap, enabling reliable separation of oiled or filmed sheet stacks.

A single ball screw lifts both back gauge supports in a press brake, cutting synchronization effort, adjustment time, and cost.

Induction heating and crimping hermetically seal HIP canister tubes without ignition sources, reducing gas re-entry risk and manual handling.

Two independent pick-up clamps and movable roller supports simplify section bar cutting and facing while shortening cycle time.

Pre-assembled modules, adjustable feet, and movable safety partitions cut setup time while keeping pallet exchange safe and precise.

Plane-specific residual curvature measurement on cut rod sections enables targeted straightener adjustment and more consistent feeding quality.

Capturing each sheet's warp and shifting the movable mold start position cuts shape deviation and variation in press-formed products.

Staggered bending rollers form component leads one by one to improve bending uniformity and reduce stress that can damage the component.

Buffered sheet storage decouples stretching and forming speeds to prevent expanded metal deformation in cross-channel packing production.

By adjusting movable mold part position to each sheet thickness, press-forming can reduce shape deviation and keep products close to target shape.

A synchromesh gear and constant-speed joint keep roller and blank rotation matched, improving tooth pitch accuracy and forming quality.

A recessed cam profile holds feed rolls open during maintenance and self-resets after jams or power loss without added brakes.

By winding the strip onto a horizontally aligned reel, this case improves retention, lowers tension demand, and simplifies reel handling.

A recessed circular cam profile holds feed rolls safely open during maintenance while allowing simple adjustment for plate thickness.

Sloped inner faces in a recessed main roll stabilize ring material during ring rolling, reducing burr defects and device burden.

Pressurized forming of three welded aluminum sheets creates flexible coolant channels while cutting cold plate cost and production time.

A hexagonal, flared spring plunger expands contact area to reduce marking, extend life cycle, and simplify installation.

Inverted punching places the burr on the intended lid side and uses compressed air slug removal to support reverse-curl tear-open lid production.

Sliding modules and an integrated translator move and rotate tubular elements safely in less space, cutting manual handling time and cost.

Independent carriages and a rotating crossbeam improve part orientation between presses without increasing transfer height or space.

An air-cushion conveyor with perpendicular belt sections keeps sheet metal panels stable and calm at high conveying volumes.

A single vertical lift-and-grip module loads raw panels and removes cut parts while reducing machine footprint and manual handling.

Three two-lane die sets and a two-column transfer belt layout raise can-end output to six per cycle while limiting belt deformation and shell misalignment.

A retractable positioning member partitions the platform surface so small and large plate workpieces can be aligned accurately with less wasted space.

A retained quick-change starwheel guide cuts can-size adjustment time and prevents lost couplings in necking machines.

Continuous coil feeding through leveling, cleaning, and cutting reduces sheet curvature, handling, waste, and floor space in part production.

Counterbalanced air separation lifts the top workpiece reliably while limiting impact and deformation during sheet pickup and retraction.

A revolver-shaped carrier stores multiple gripping tools on the head, reducing sorting downtime while preserving a compact machine footprint.

A three-position piston adjusts magnetic force to pick one workpiece from a stack, then hold it securely during vibration and transport.

One ball screw drives both back gauge elevating members, eliminating dual-screw synchronization work and reducing press brake complexity.

An incomplete joint lets scrap skeleton sections deflect and break apart by gravity, avoiding complex shredding hardware and process delays.

A separate cutting unit and replaceable conveying modules let one cutting setup handle different product types without a fixed conveyor.

Cut rod sections enable plane-specific residual curvature measurement, helping operators tune straightening rollers for more consistent wire or tube feed quality.

Canceling crank-synchronized feed after a press stop lets the material feed finish independently, cutting servo torque demand and drive cost.

A non-contact oil seal uses centrifugal return flow to stop lubricant leakage, prevent can contamination, and hold seaming dimensions stable.

Detecting and correcting bar rotation before bending keeps elongated metal elements coplanar and within shape tolerance limits.
