Verfahren zur automatisierten Umformung von Werkstuecken

DE 10231430 A UPAB: 20040316 NOVELTY - The metal forming machine has a sheet of plastic deformable material (1) that is placed over a die block in which a negative form of the required component shape is machined. The material is deformed by a robot held hammer that repeatedly strikes the surface in a programmed pattern. Proximity sensors (8) and a surface laser scanner provide input to a controller. USE - Forming of plastic deformable sheet materials. ADVANTAGE - Achieves high definition forming
