GO BACK TO THE AREA OF METAL FORMING AND SHAPINGInvention entitled ‘Method of manufacturing conical sheet metal parts and assembly for manufacturing conical sheet metal parts’ (Pat.240055/P.429408)
Description:
The object of the invention is a method for manufacturing conical sheet metal parts and an assembly for manufacturing conical sheet metal parts by shaping sheet metal products formed into a cone with a circular cross-section and, in particular, terminating in a sharp apex, which is applicable to the shaping and manufacturing of sheet metal products and the design of sheet metal forming processes by shear spinning. Previously, shaping of conical products without a toggle clamp as a system for mounting the workpiece material to the template was impossible. The use of a toggle clamp forced the shaped part to maintain a flat face, thus making it impossible to obtain a sharp or rounded conical apex. The invention makes it possible to obtain a conical product with a sharp or rounded apex, using additional machining and an allowance of material left in order to obtain the apex.
Benefits:
- the possibility of obtaining a product with a sharp apex or with a rounded apex,
a product without a centering hole, - a significant reduction in the labor intensity of manufacturing finished conical sheet metal
- products by eliminating machining (in some cases).
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent Pat.240055 granted by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, in force from 27 March 2019.
Property rights to the invention are vested 100% in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology.
