Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausrichten eines von einem Coil ablaufenden Metallbandes auf eine Bearbeitungsstation mit einer Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung zum Erfassen einer Bandkante, einer Verstelleinrichtung für die Querverstellung und Führung des Metallbandes und einer Auswerteschaltung für die Signale der Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung zur Auslösung einer Querverstellung des Metallbandes.The invention relates to a device for aligning a metal strip running from a coil to a processing station with a strip edge interrogation device for detecting a strip edge, an adjusting device for the transverse adjustment and guiding of the metal strip and an evaluation circuit for the signals of the strip edge interrogation device for triggering a transverse adjustment of the metal strip.

Für Stanz-, Scher- und dgl. Bearbeitungseinrichtungen der spanlosen Trennung von Werkstücken und Platinen vorn laufenden Metallband ist es erforderlich, das Metallband in Bezug auf die Bearbeitungsstation auszurichten. Hierzu bedient man sich berührungslos beaufschlagbarer Schaltelemente, die die Lage einer Bandkante abfragen, ohne hierbei die Bandmitte zu erfassen.For punching, shearing and similar processing devices for the chipless separation of workpieces and blanks from the metal strip running in front, it is necessary to align the metal strip with respect to the processing station. For this purpose, switching elements which can be acted upon without contact are used, which query the position of a strip edge without detecting the strip center.

Nach der DE-AS 25 34 823 wird die Kante einer metallischen Bahn mittels induktiver Meßwertaufnehmer abgefragt mit senkrecht zur Bahn angeordneter Meßfläche. Hierbei wird das den Abstand der Bahnkante zur Meßfläche charakterisierende Signal als Bezugsgröße für die Nachregeleinstellung genutzt. Eine Mittenabtastung erfolgt nicht und auch über die Bandkantenabfrage ist ein mittiges Ausrichten der metallischen Bahn nicht möglich.According to DE-AS 25 34 823, the edge of a metallic web is queried by means of inductive transducers with a measuring surface arranged perpendicular to the web. Here, the signal characterizing the distance of the web edge to the measuring surface is used as a reference variable for the readjustment setting. A center scan is not carried out and a center alignment of the metallic web is also not possible via the strip edge scan.

In dem Aufsatz "17 Ways to Track the Fdge" von S. L. Sorsen in Control Engeneering, Mai 1964, Seiten 77 uff. werden beispielsweise in Abbildung 4 zwei Lichtwertaufnehmer als berührungslose Meßwertaufnehmer zur Abfrage einer Kante benutzt. Die Signalgabe über die Lichtwertaufnehmer wird hierbei nicht zur Geschwindigkeitsregelung einer quer zur möglichen Längsbewegung des Streifens gesteuerten Verstellbewegung des Streifens ausgewertet.In the article "17 Ways to Track the Fdge" by SL Sorsen in Control Engeneering, May 1964, pages 77 uff. For example, in Figure 4 two light sensors are used as non-contact sensors to query an edge. Signaling via the light sensor does not become a speed rain a control movement of the strip controlled transversely to the possible longitudinal movement of the strip is evaluated.

Die US-PS 3 610 546 zeigt und beschreibt eine automatisch wirkende Streifenausrichteinrichtung in einer Bearbeitungslinie mit einer SchweiBeinrichtung zum metallischen Verbinden des Endes eines verbrauchten, von einem ersten Coil abgewickelten metallbandes mit dem Anfang eines neuen, von einem zweiten Coil abwickelbaren Metallbandes.US Pat. No. 3,610,546 shows and describes an automatically acting strip alignment device in a processing line with a welding device for metallic connection of the end of a used metal strip unwound from a first coil to the beginning of a new metal strip that can be unwound from a second coil.

Die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung umfaßt je Metallband einen Meßwertaufnehmer in der Art eines berührungslosen Annäherungsschalters zum Justieren der Abfrageeinrichtung und zum Erfassen der Bandkante im Betrieb sowie je einen Berührungskontaktschalter zum Ausfahren der Verstelleinrichtung bei Anlage des Metallbandes an den Berührungskontaktschalter. Die Abfragemittel sind auf einem gemeinsamen durch einen Elektromotor quer zur Bandlaufrichtung verstellbaren Träger befestigt. Die Einregulierung der Bandkanten erfolgt über auf die Coiles einwirkende, diese hydraulisch quer zur Bandlaufrichtung verstellende Stellorgane. Die von den Abfragemitteln ausgehenden Inpulse werden über eine analoge elektrische Auswerteschaltung mit elektrisch auslösbaren Magnetventilen im Hydraulikkreis für die Stellorgane ausgewertet. Die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung ist zwischen den Coiles und der Schweißstation angeordnet. Die miteinander zu verbindenden Metallbänder werden kantengleich, jedoch nicht in Bezug auf ihre Mitten auf eine bestimmte Bearbeitungsstation ausgerichtet.The strip edge interrogation device comprises a measuring sensor per metal strip in the manner of a contactless proximity switch for adjusting the interrogation device and for detecting the strip edge during operation, as well as a touch contact switch for extending the adjusting device when the metal strip is in contact with the contact switch. The interrogation means are attached to a common support that can be adjusted transversely to the direction of travel of the tape by an electric motor. The belt edges are adjusted by means of actuators acting on the coils and hydraulically adjusting them transversely to the belt running direction. The impulses emanating from the interrogation means are evaluated for the actuators by an analog electrical evaluation circuit with electrically triggerable solenoid valves in the hydraulic circuit. The strip edge interrogation device is arranged between the coiles and the welding station. The metal strips to be connected to one another are aligned with the same edges, but not with respect to their centers to a specific processing station.

Demgegenüber ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, in einer Bandbeschickungsanlage durch die im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebene Vorrichtung das vorbeilaufende Metallband im Bereich der Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung zu fuhren und in Bezug auf eine nachfolgende Bearbeitungsstation mittengleich auszurichten. Insbesondere sollen zuvor miteinander verschweißte Metallbänder unterschiedlicher Breite mittig zur nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstation ausgerichtet und geführt werden.In contrast, it is an object of the invention to guide the passing metal strip in the area of the strip edge interrogation device in a strip loading system by means of the device specified in the preamble of claim 1 and to align the same in relation to a subsequent processing station. In particular, metal strips of different widths previously welded to one another are to be aligned and guided centrally to the subsequent processing station.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß für jede Bandlängskante eine Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtung angeordnet ist mit je zwei Abfragemitteln, die im wesentlichen quer zur Durchlaufrichtung des Metallbandes hintereinander an in gleicher Richtung, jedoch gegeneinander verstellbaren Trägern der Verstelleinrichtung befestigt sind, und daß die Auswerteschaltung Schaltmittel umfaßt für die Umwandlung eines Signales des zuerst eine Bandkante erfassenden Abfragemittels in eine Langsamschließbewegung der Verstelleinrichtung, für die Umwandlung eines Signales des die gegenüberliegende Bandkante zuletzt erfassenden Abfragemittels in ein Halt der Verstelleinrichtung und für die Urwandlung eines Signales, das manuell über eine Tasteneingabe, von einem Vorbausatz oder gegebenenfalls schaltungsintern ausgelöst ist in eine schnelle Offen-Bewegung mit daran automatisch oder auf ein Signal einer manuellen Eingabe ausgelöster schneller Schließbewsgung.This object is achieved in that a strip edge interrogation device is arranged for each longitudinal strip edge, each with two interrogation means, which are fastened one behind the other essentially transversely to the direction of travel of the metal strip on supports of the adjusting device which are adjustable in the same direction but relative to one another, and that the evaluation circuit comprises switching means for converting a signal of the interrogation means first detecting a band edge into a slow closing movement of the adjusting device, for converting a signal of the interrogation means last detecting the opposite band edge into a stop of the adjusting device and for the original conversion of a signal which is transmitted manually A key entry, triggered by a kit or possibly inside the circuit, is in a rapid open movement with automatic closing movement triggered thereon or on a signal of a manual input.

Hierdurch wird ein Verlaufen des Metallbandes aus der limitierten Spur vermieden. Die Voreinstellung erfolgt mit einem schnellen öffnen und Schließen der Führungsmittel. Die Fein(-end)einstellung erfolgt langsam über unabhängige Meßwertaufnehmer. Durch die gestufte Querverstellung ist somit in vorteilhafter Weise ein Beschädigen des Metallbandes vermieden und ein führungsgenaues Zustellen auf eine Bearbeitungsstation, z.B. ein Pressenwerkzeug, möglich. In überraschender Weise kann die Einrichtung zum Führen metallischer Bahnen für einen Zick-Zack-Durchlauf durch eine Schnittpresse genutzt werden.This prevents the metal strip from running out of the limited track. The presetting is done with a quick opening and closing of the guide means. The fine (-end) setting is done slowly via independent sensors. The stepped transverse adjustment thus advantageously prevents damage to the metal strip and ensures accurate delivery to a processing station, e.g. a press tool, possible. The device for guiding metallic webs can surprisingly be used for a zigzag pass through a cutting press.

Mit der Vorrichtung nach Patentanspruch 2 ist diese für eine Verwendung in Pressenstraßen geeignet.With the device according to claim 2, it is suitable for use in press lines.

Die Anordnungen nach den Patentansprüchen 3 und 4 ermöglichen die Verwendung von Folienbahnen ohne Beschädigung der Bandkante.The arrangements according to claims 3 and 4 enable the use of film webs without damaging the band edge.

Nach Patentanspruch 5 werden genau ansteuerbare Stellmittel unter Ausnutzung pressenseitig vorhandener Möglichkeiten genutzt. Der diesen Einrichtungen anhaftende Mangel der Leckage wird durch eine Bremseinheit ausgeglichen, die für Nachlaufregelungen bei z.B. dünnen Folienbahnen wiederum nicht aktiviert werden muß.According to claim 5, precisely controllable actuating means are used, using available press options. The lack of leakage inherent in these devices is compensated for by a braking unit, which thin film webs in turn need not be activated.

Das Merkmal nach Patentanspruch 6 geht ein auf pressenspezifische Gegebenheiten und eimöglicht ein Ausrichten des Metallbandes auf von Werkzeug zu Werkzeug unterschiedliche Mitten sowie einen Zick-Zack-Durchlauf.The feature according to claim 6 relates to press-specific conditions and enables the metal strip to be aligned on centers that differ from tool to tool, and a zigzag pass.

Im folgenden soll die Erfindung anhand von in der Zeichnung j dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Erfindung,
  • Fig. 2 eine mögliche Auswerteschaltung elektrischer Art,
  • Fig. 3 das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel unter Verwendung unterschiedlich breiter Mstallbahnen und
  • Fig. 4 ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Erfindung.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing j. Show:
  • 1 shows a first embodiment according to the invention,
  • 2 shows a possible evaluation circuit of an electrical type,
  • Fig. 3 shows the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 using different width Mstallbahnen and
  • Fig. 4 shows another embodiment according to the invention.

Das von einer Haspel kommende und vom Coil ablaufende Band 2 metallischer und ggf. nichtmetallischer Art wird nach dem Darstellungsbeispiel in Fig. 1 Richtwalzen oder einer Schweißapparatur 4 zugeführt und tritt danach in den Bereich der Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen 1 und 10.The strip 2 of a metallic and possibly non-metallic type coming from a reel and running off the coil is fed according to the example shown in FIG. 1 straightening rollers or a welding apparatus 4 and then enters the area of the strip edge detection devices 1 and 10.

Die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen sind hier einer Bearbeitungsstation, beispielsweise einem Schnittwerkzeug 55 (Fig. 4), vorgeschaltet. An das Ende des metallischen Bandes 2 ist während einer kurzen Stillstandsphase das Folgeband 3 angeschweißt worden, Schweißnaht 5. Die Bänder werden nacheinander beim weiteren Durchlauf, Pfeil 6, von den Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen erfaßt und geführt. Die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen umfassen zwei in Richtung der Pfeile 57 bewegliche Träger 8, 9. Die Träger sind über einen Zahnstangen- 11, Zahnrad- 12, Wellen- 13 Antrieb mit einem Verstellmittel, beispielsweise einem links-rechts-gängigen Hydraulikmotor 14 verbunden. Dieser Antrieb über gegenläufige Zahnstangen ermöglicht stets eine mittige Verstellung.The strip edge detection devices are upstream of a processing station, for example a cutting tool 55 (FIG. 4). During a short standstill phase, the following strip 3, weld seam 5, was welded onto the end of the metallic strip 2. The strips are successively detected and guided by the strip edge interrogation devices during the further passage, arrow 6. The strip edge interrogation devices comprise two carriers 8, 9 movable in the direction of the arrows 57. The carriers are connected via a rack-11, gear-12, shaft-13 drive to an adjusting means, for example a hydraulic motor 14 that runs to the left and right. This drive via counter-rotating racks always enables central adjustment.

Die Träger tragen Meßwertaufnehmer 17, 18, 19, 21, Sensoren induktiver, fotooptischer oder anderer bekannter Art, die paarweise und in Richtung 57 der Querverstellbewegung hintereinander angeordnet sind sowie laufrollen 22, deren Drehachse um 90 Winkelgrad zu der Breitenerstreckung des metallischen Bandes 2, 3 ausgerichtet sind zur Anlage der Bandkanten 7 des metallischen Bandes im Betrieb. Die Meßwertaufnehmer 19, 21 können im Mittenmaß ihrer Meßflächen in der durch die Rollen 22 gebildeten Rollenbahnebene angeordnet sein. Der Hydraulikmotor 14 ist über eine hydraulische Ansteuerschaltung für schnellen und langsamen Links- und Rechtslauf ansteuerbar. Die langsame Offen-Bewegung wird im allgemeinen nicht genutzt. In die von der Hauptdruckleitung 23 kommenden und in die zur Druckmittelablaßleitung 24 führenden Leitungen 33, 34 sind je ein 4/3 Wegeventil 27, 28, über die Leitungen 30 ansteuerbare Rückschlagventile 29, Drosseln 32 und parallel zu diesen geschaltete Rückschlagventile 31 geschaltet. Die Drosseln 32 dienen der Geschwindigkeitseinstellung des Hydraulikmotors 14. Der Hydraulikmotor 14 ist für die Zeit seines Stillstandes vermittels Bremse 16, die über ein in die Druckleitung 36 geschaltetes 3/2 Wegeventil 26 beaufschlagbar und druckentlastbar ist, zumindest zeitweise zwangsgehalten. Die elektrische Ansteuerung der Ventile über Magnete 46, 47, 48, 49, 51 erfolgt vermittels der Auswerteschaltung nach Fig. 2.The carriers carry transducers 17, 18, 19, 21, sensors of inductive, photo-optical or other known type, which are arranged in pairs and in the direction 57 of the transverse adjustment movement one behind the other, and rollers 22, whose axis of rotation by 90 degrees to the width extension of the metallic strip 2, 3 are aligned to abut the strip edges 7 of the metallic strip in operation. The transducers 19, 21 can be arranged in the center dimension of their measuring surfaces in the roller conveyor plane formed by the rollers 22. The hydraulic motor 14 can be controlled via a hydraulic control circuit for fast and slow left and right rotation. The slow open movement is generally not used. In the of the Main pressure line 23 coming and into the lines 33, 34 leading to the pressure medium discharge line 24 are each a 4/3 way valve 27, 28, via the lines 30 controllable check valves 29, throttles 32 and check valves 31 connected in parallel to these. The throttles 32 are used to adjust the speed of the hydraulic motor 14. The hydraulic motor 14 is at least temporarily held at least temporarily by means of the brake 16, which can be acted upon and relieved of pressure via a 3/2-way valve 26 connected to the pressure line 36. The valves are electrically controlled via magnets 46, 47, 48, 49, 51 by means of the evaluation circuit according to FIG. 2.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen in einer Offenstellung der Verstelleinrichtung 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 sowie der mit dieser zwangläufig mitgeführten Meßwertaufnehmer 17, 18, 19, 21. Weiterhin wird die Verwendung von metallischen Bändern 2, 3 unterschiedlicher Breite gezeigt. Im übrigen werden für Fig. 2 und die weiteren Figuren für gleiche Bauteile gleiche Kennziffern benutzt.FIG. 3 shows the strip edge interrogation devices in an open position of the adjusting device 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 and the transducers 17, 18, 19, 21 that are inevitably carried with them. Furthermore, the use of metallic strips 2, 3 of different widths is shown . Otherwise, the same reference numbers are used for FIG. 2 and the other figures for the same components.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Möglichkeit der Ausrichtung der Verstelleinrichtung 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 auf das hier dargestellte Werkzeug 55. Die Verstelleinrichtung einschließlich der Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen ist in gestellfesten Gleitführungen 53 zwangsgeführt und kann z.B. vermittels einer doppeltwirkenden Zylinder-Kolben-Einheit 54 in Pfeilrichtung 56 bis zum übereinstimmen der Mitten 58, 59 von Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen und Werkzeug verstellt werden.Fig. 4 shows the possibility of aligning the adjusting device 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 on the tool 55 shown here. The adjusting device including the belt edge interrogation devices is positively guided in slide guides 53 fixed to the frame and can e.g. can be adjusted by means of a double-acting cylinder-piston unit 54 in the direction of arrow 56 until the centers 58, 59 of band edge interrogation devices and tools match.

Die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Auswerteschaltung umfaßt einen elektronischen Baustein 41 zum Abfragen und Speichern der Schaltzustände der angeschlossenen Baueinheiten und zur Unwandlung in Ausgangssignale. Dieser Baustein 41 arbeitet in der Art bistabiler Kippstufen - Flipflops -, wobei ein anstehendes Signal am Eingang am Ausgang erhalten bleibt und so den gewünschten Schaltzustand, schneller Vor- Rücklauf, langsamer Vor- Rücklauf aufrecht erhält, bis sich der Eingang durch Setzen eines anderen Signales oder durch Rücksetzen, beispielsweise durch die Eingabe über die Tastatur 43 oder interne Zeitglieder ändert.The evaluation circuit shown in FIG. 2 comprises an electronic component 41 for querying and storing the switching states of the connected units and for converting them into output signals. This module 41 operates in the manner of bistable flip-flops - flip-flops - whereby an existing signal at the input at the output is retained and thus maintains the desired switching state, fast forward, slow forward, until the input is maintained by setting another signal or by resetting, for example by entering via the keyboard 43 or internal timers.

Die Schaltung kann, wie gezeigt, digital aber auch analog aufgebaut sein. An den Eingang der Kippstufe 41 sind neben einem z.B. induktiven Meßwertaufnehmer 42 zum Erfassen des Offenzustandes der Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen, die als Fotoelemente bzw. Opto-Koppler synbolisierten Meßwertaufnehmer 17, 18, 19, 21 sowie die Tastatur 43 für manuelle Eingabe, beispielsweise für einen Startbefehl, der grundsätzlich die Bandkantenabfrageeinrichtungen in eine Offenstellung bringt, angeschlossen. An die Ausgänge der Kippstufe 41 sind über Treiberverstärker 44 die Magnete 46, 47, 48, 49 und 51 der Ventile im Ansteuerkreis des Hydraulikmotors 14 geschaltet.As shown, the circuit can be constructed digitally but also analog. At the input of the flip-flop 41, in addition to, for example, an inductive transducer 42 for detecting the open state of the Belt edge interrogators connected as photo elements or opto-couplers, sensors 17, 18, 19, 21 as well as the keyboard 43 for manual input, for example for a start command, which basically brings the belt edge interrogators into an open position. The magnets 46, 47, 48, 49 and 51 of the valves in the control circuit of the hydraulic motor 14 are connected to the outputs of the flip-flop 41 via driver amplifiers 44.

Ausgehend von der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Möglichkeit, unterschiedlich breite metallische Bänder einer Bearbeitungsstation zuzuführen, wird die Auswerteschaltung nach Fig. 2 im folgenden näher erläutert. Das Offensignal kann über die Tastatur 43, von der Schweißapparatur 4 oder als interner Befehl des Bausteines 41 erfolgen und bewirkt ein schnelles öffnen der Verstelleinrichtung. Hierbei werden die von beiden Ventilen 27, 28 kömmenden und zum Hydraulikmotor 14 führenden Leitungen 34 durch Beaufschlagen der Magnetspulen 48, 51 an die Druckleitung 23 gelegt. Als Folge eines digitalen Signals am Ausgang des Meßwertaufnehmers 42 werden nun die Ventile 27, 28 umgeschaltet, indem Spannung an die Magnetspulen 47, 49 gelegt wird, so daß die Drehumkehr des Hydraulikmotors 14 bewirkt wird. Überfährt beim so erfolgenden Schließen der Verstelleinrichtung einer der beiden Meßwertaufnehmer 17, 18 eine Bandkante, wird als Folge des nun am Eingang des Bausteines 41 anstehenden digitalen Signales ein Magnetventil 28 abgeschaltet, wodurch der Hydraulikmotor 14 bis zum Auftreten eines Signales eines der Meßwertaufnehmer 18, 21, und zwar des Meßwertaufnehmers des zuvor kein Signal abgebenden Paares, in einem Langsamlauf das sich an einer Rollenbahn anlegende metallische Band 3 quer bewegt.Starting from the possibility shown in FIG. 3 of feeding metal strips of different widths to a processing station, the evaluation circuit according to FIG. 2 is explained in more detail below. The open signal can take place via the keyboard 43, from the welding apparatus 4 or as an internal command from the component 41 and causes the adjusting device to be opened quickly. In this case, the lines 34 coming from both valves 27, 28 and leading to the hydraulic motor 14 are placed on the pressure line 23 by acting on the solenoid coils 48, 51. As a result of a digital signal at the output of the sensor 42, the valves 27, 28 are now switched by applying voltage to the solenoids 47, 49, so that the rotation of the hydraulic motor 14 is effected. If one of the two transducers 17, 18 passes over a band edge when the adjustment device is closed in this way, a magnetic valve 28 is switched off as a result of the digital signal now present at the input of the component 41, whereby the hydraulic motor 14 until a signal of one of the transducers 18, 21 occurs , namely the transducer of the pair previously not emitting a signal, in a slow motion the metallic band 3 resting on a roller conveyor moves transversely.

Ein öffnen der Träger 8, 9 im Eilgang setzt voraus, daß an dem induktiven Meßwertaufnehmer 42 kein Signal ansteht und über die Tastatur 43, von dem Vorschaltgerät, der Schweißapparatur 4 oder über ein internes Zeitglied, das dem Baustein 41 zugeschaltet ist, ein Signal auf den Speicher gegeben wird. Die Signalgabe durch den induktiven Meßwertaufnehmer 42 bewirkt ein Schließen der Träger im Eilgang. Das setzt voraus, daß an keinem der Meßwertaufnehmer 17, 18 ein Signal ansteht.Opening the carrier 8, 9 in rapid traverse requires that no signal is present at the inductive transducer 42 and a signal via the keyboard 43, from the ballast, the welding apparatus 4 or via an internal timer which is connected to the module 41 the memory is given. The signaling by the inductive transducer 42 causes the carrier to close in rapid traverse. This presupposes that no signal is present at any of the sensors 17, 18.
