Abstract:
In a method of producing a connection between the neck area of a light metal cartridge, particularly an aluminium cartridge, and a plastic container inserted therein, by a drawing process that forms a connection area and applies areas of the wall of the light metal cartridge against the plastic container using a rotating main body (15) of a drawing tool (2), said main body supporting at least one profiled drawing roller (3) which can rotate about a rotation axis (5) in order to delimit a tool working opening (1), wherein the drawing roller (3) lies against the outer surface of the light metal cartridge, the rotation axis (5) of the drawing roller (3) is arranged at a tool-internal end area of a lever (9) arranged transversely relative to the longitudinal axis (16) of the drawing tool (2), said lever being supported at its opposite tool-external end area on the drawing tool (2) so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis (11) in a force-controlled manner and so as to apply the drawing roller (3) against the outer surface of the light metal cartridge.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel method for producing a gun cartridge casing in a single multiple station deep drawing transfer press.
Abstract:
An improved cartridge case completely produced net shape on a progressive cold former that includes a trim to lengthy station with an internal shearing tool.
Abstract:
An electronic casing and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes the following steps. Step (a): a metal laminate and a die of a predetermined shape are provided. The metal laminate comprises a metal top layer and a metal bottom layer that are bonded by interface atom diffusion. Step (b): the metal laminate is processed to form a casing blank by using the die, and the casing blank has at least one turning portion. Step (c): a profiler of a predetermined shape and an electromagnetic forming device are provided. Step (d): the casing blank is attached to the profiler, and the electromagnetic forming device is disposed at a position corresponding to the turning portion. Step (e): the electromagnetic forming device is activated, so that the casing blank has a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape of the profiler.
Abstract:
A battery can for accommodating electrochemical materials includes an elongated and substantially cylindrical housing having wall with a smooth outer surface. The battery can further includes a plurality of lands and grooves formed on an inner surface of the wall which themselves define a substantially uniform and continuously repeating pattern on the inner surface.
Abstract:
A forming machine (10) is provided for forming a finished part (12) from a flat blank (14). Draw stations (18-24) are provided to initially form the intermediate part. Each draw station includes a punch (44, 62, 66, 70') and a draw die (48, 64, 68, 72). Each punch defines a shoulder along its length to create a first step (60) in the side walls (26) of the intermediate part. In a subsequent draw stage, a draw punch (70') forms a second shoulder along its length to create a second step (100) in the side walls (26) of the intermediate part. A draw shoulder (61) on the draw punch (71') mates with the step (60) to maintain the concentric shape thereof. In the subsequent necking and final form stages (30, 32, 34) the punch employed also has a shoulder to permit variation of the force applied to the intermediate part between the step and bottom portion.
Abstract:
A process and an apparatus for manufacturing tubular cartridges having one end at least substantially closed, by means of cold-working of tubular blanks, wherein a tubular blank is fed into a die snugly enclosing said blank, the tube end to be closed resting on a retractable bottom forming tool. With the tube so positioned a punch having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the tube is lowered into the tube, which punch when moving through the tube displaces material from the entire length of the inner wall of the tube to the lower end of the tube so as to at least partially close this end of the tube.
Abstract:
A cold working process for the manufacture of a hollow tubular metal article having a shaped head, the process comprising: (a) supporting an open-ended hollow metal tube on a first forming tool with one end of the tube projecting beyond the end of the tool, (b) initially necking the projecting end of the tube in a necking die, and thereafter, with the necked tube held in the die by the first forming tool, (c) compressing the necked portion of the tube between the first forming tool and a second forming tool to form the shaped head.
