<p>A system for automatically producing formed parts from feedstock using two successive adiabatic processing stations, a first station (100) performing adiabatic cut-off of blanks from the feedstock (103), and the second station (150) performing adiabatic forming of the blanks into the formed parts. The first station operates cooperatively with a feedstock feeder assembly (101) which feeds feedstock to the first station and also charges blanks produced at the first station into a transfer capsule (146) of a transferer assembly (148). The first and second stations cooperatively operate with the blank transferer assembly which transfers in the transfer capsule blanks from the first to the second station. The second station includes means for positioning blanks relative to a forming cavity before blanks are adiabatically shaped to conform to the forming cavity (160) and also means for ejecting (177) formed parts from tooling that defines the forming cavity. The system includes automation means (130) that synchronizes and sequences subassembly operations.</p> |
