Flanging System, Flanging Unit, and Flanging Method for Autonomous Flanging

摘要

Flanging system for producing a preferably folded joint, for folding the flange of the part by flanging, wherein the flanging system comprises (a) folding the flanged edge 3 of the component 1 to fold the flange 2; A flanging tool 10 with a flanging element 12 movable on the flange 2, preferably a flanging roller 12 rollable on the flange, (b) a flanging tool along the flanging edge 3 Flanging unit 5 with guiding structure 30 for guiding (10), (c) flanging tool 10 and / or flanging in flanging direction X along flanging edge 3 A flanging unit 20 for driving the element 12, (d) a media supply for the flanging drive 20, and (e) a flanging unit in a specific flanging position for the component 1 A support device 9 for positioning and holding (5), (f) the flanging tool 10 and the flanging drive 20 being the flanging unit Supported inside of (5), the driving force applied for the driving purpose and the flanging force applied to the flange 2 by the flanging element 12 for the flanging purpose are absorbed in the flanging unit 5, ( g) The flanging tool 10 and the flanging drive 20 are integral components of the flanging unit 5 which can be handled as a unit by the support device 9.
