Abstract (en)

[origin: US2016059295A1] A method for producing a sheet metal part with a press includes the steps of heating a sheet metal blank at least in regions to a above the austenitizing temperature Ac3, inserting the heated sheet metal blank into a forming tool station of the press, hot forming the sheet metal blank to the sheet metal part in the forming tool station, during which the press performs a closing movement, holding the forming tool station closed for a first holding time and cooling the formed sheet metal part during the first holding time, transferring the formed sheet metal part into a second tool station, hardening at least regions of the sheet metal part by cooling in the second tool station within the at least one second holding time, wherein the forming tool station during the closing movement of the press from an upper reversal point to a lower reversal point is moved relative to the press by at least one elastic actuating element so that the hot forming is terminated and the step of holding the forming tool station closed starts before the press reaches the lower reversal point.
