Flanging system, flanging unit, and flanging method for autonomous flanging

摘要

A flanging system for folding a component flange by flanging, preferably to form a folding joint, the flanging system comprising: (a) the component (1) A flanging tool (10) having a flanging element (12) movable on the flange (2) along the flanged edge (3), preferably a flanging roller (12) rotatable on the flange; and (b) A flanging unit (5) having a guide structure (30) for guiding the flanging tool (10) along the flanging edge (3); and (c) the flanging tool (10) and / or flanging. A flag for driving the element (12) along the flanging edge (3) in the flanging direction (X) Positioning the flanging unit (5) at a specific flanging position relative to the component (1), and (e) a medium supply for the flanging drive (20), (d) and the flanging drive (12) And (f) a flanging tool (10) and a flanging drive (20) comprising a driving force applied for driving purposes and a flanging element for flanging purposes. (12) is supported in the flanging unit (5) so that the flanging force to be exerted on the flange (2) is absorbed in the flanging unit (5), and (g) a flanging tool (10). And the flanging drive (20) is an integral part of the flanging unit (5) which can be treated as a unit by the support device (9). System.
