Combination of a Forming Tool and a Measuring Device, Method for Measuring a Physical Quantity of a Working Medium in a Forming Tool, and Measuring Device for Carrying Out the Method

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a combination of a forming tool and a measuring device that allows for the real-time measurement of a physical property (such as pressure or temperature) of an active medium (like a gas or liquid) inside the tool's cavity or within a hollow space in the workpiece during the forming process. The system includes a sensor capable of directly interacting with the medium to capture relevant data inside the tool or workpiece.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Monitoring pressure or temperature during metal forming processes such as stamping or molding.
• Quality assurance in manufacturing environments that require precise control of internal tool or workpiece conditions.
• Research and development settings where real-time process monitoring is vital for optimization.
• Automation of manufacturing processes by integrating the measurement data into process control systems.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enables real-time monitoring of critical parameters during the forming process, improving product quality.
• Reduces the risk of defects by detecting abnormal conditions inside tools or workpieces immediately.
• Supports process optimization by providing accurate and direct measurements from the point of action.
• Facilitates automation and feedback control by delivering actionable data during manufacturing.

Patent Abstract

The forming tool-measuring device-combination has a receptacle for inserting the measuring device, where the active medium is brought in a cavity (14) defined by the tool (1) or in a hollow space (23) defined by the workpiece (2). A detection element is provided with a sensor, which communicates with the cavity or the hollow space for detecting a physical variable of the active medium brought in the cavity of the forming tool or in the hollow space of the workpiece. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a method for measuring a physical variable of an active medium in a cavity of a forming tool or a hollow space of a workpiece; and (2) a measuring device with a coupling section for executing the method.
