Claim 0:
1. A system for compensating a deformation in real time during a heat treatment performed on a component obtained by forming a steel blank, the system comprising:
a support;
a first clamping device arranged with the support, and comprising:
a first clamp configured to clamp a first region of the component,
a first motor to drive the first clamp perpendicular to the first region of the component, and
a first load cell connected to the first clamp, and configured to detect loads due to the heat treatment performed on the component;
a second clamping device arranged with the support and comprising:
a second clamp configured to clamp a second region of the component,
a second motor to drive the second clamp perpendicular to the second region of the component, and
a second load cell connected to the second clamp, and configured to detect loads due to the heat treatment performed on the component;
and the system further comprising:
a processing and control system configured to collect signals from the first and second load cells and to send first signals based on the detected loads to the first motor of the first clamping device, and to send second signals based on the detected loads to the second motor of the second clamping device, in order to compensate the deformation caused by the heat treatment due to a release of residual stresses accumulated in the component during the forming of the steel blank, wherein
the second signals are different from the first signals.
