Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0607498A1] For the automatic adjustment of the stroke of the punching tool (8) of a turret cutting press equipped with a punch drive (6) there is provided a radiation sequence, which is characterised by a transmitter (12), a beam path (14) and a receiver (13) and which intersects the path of movement of the punching tool (8) and is arranged at the least possible distance above the workpiece (10) to be machined. The transmitter (12), the receiver (13) and hence the beam path (14) can be moved in the direction of the punching movement and hence in the direction of the workpiece (10), and during that movement of the punching tool (8) which is directed towards the workpiece (10), the upper dead centre of the punching stroke is fixed automatically from the time of the interruption of the beam path (14) in association with position information delivered via a displacement sensor (11), i.e. independently of the tool length determined in advance, the lower dead centre being available from the remaining machine data. From the measurement and from the continuous monitoring of a displacement element between the upper dead centre and the point of interruption of the beam path (14), the operation of the particular punching tool (8) is monitored for the appearance of a rupture in the tool. The cutting press offers the essential advantage that adjusting work for the individual punching tools and also after regrinding for the purpose of setting an optimum punching stroke is dispensed with and that a rupture occurring in the tool can be detected at an early time. <IMAGE>
