Patent ID: 11072012

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for incremental forming of a metal workpiece, having at least one spindle, on which the workpiece is clamped, and at least one spindle drive, with which the at least one spindle is set in rotation with the workpiece and/or at least one forming roller is set in rotation relative to the workpiece, wherein the at least one forming roller is advanced radially and/or axially relative to the rotating workpiece by way of at least one actuator. According to the invention, a computer-based controller is provided which records multiple machine parameters via sensors, which parameters comprise at least a rotation speed of the spindle, a position of the forming roller and forming forces and/or an advancement speed of the forming roller, and process parameters and/or workpiece parameters are also recorded by the controller, and the controller creates at least one data set in which the machine parameters are assigned to the process and/or workpiece parameters.
