Machine with cross-transport device and method for producing a casing using the machine

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The machine has a base body comprising front and rear processing sides, and a tool assembly (14) for processing a workpiece (32) made from metal. A cross-transport device (30) transports the workpiece from the rear processing side to the front processing side through a passage opening. The transport device has a central rail (36) that runs through the passage opening. The transport device stays in force-transmission connection with the tool assembly in such a manner that forces produced during deformation of the workpiece are partially braced by the transport device. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a cylindrical casing from a workpiece made from metal. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Work machine e.g. strip bending machine and wire bending machine (all claimed), for deformation of a workpiece for manufacturing a cylindrical casing from the workpiece. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The transport device stays in force-transmission connection with the tool assembly in such a manner that forces produced during deformation of the workpiece are partially braced by the transport device, thus ensuring reliable and safe supply of the workpiece to the tool assembly, and enabling the transport device to be designed in a compact manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a rear perspective view of a cross-transport device and a rear side of a tool assembly.
