Description

本発明は、金属や樹脂などからなる板材に押圧工具を押し当てながら移動させて所定の立体形状に板材を成形加工する逐次成形方法および逐次成形装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a sequential forming method and a sequential forming apparatus for forming a plate material into a predetermined three-dimensional shape by moving a pressing tool against a plate material made of metal, resin, or the like.

自動車の部品などを大量生産するための塑性加工方法として、金型を使用したプレス加工が広く用いられている。しかしながら、プレス装置及び金型による加工では設備が大型化するとともに金型製作費が高価であるため、消費者ニーズの多様化に対応した多品種少量生産に適する経済性に優れた新たな加工方法が求められている。また、プレス加工では製作できる部品の形状に制約があり、より複雑な形状の部品も製作できる高度な加工方法が必要になってきている。これらの要望に応えて、近年では逐次成形方法が実用化され、生産設備として普及しつつある。逐次成形方法では、特定形状の金型に代わり汎用の押圧工具を用い、金属や樹脂などの板材に押圧工具を押し当てながら移動させることにより、所定の立体形状を成形加工するようになっている。また、複雑な形状を成形加工するために、所望する形状の型工具と、板材を型工具に沿わせるための棒状工具と、が組み合わせて使用される場合もある。さらに、押圧工具の移動には数値制御が用いられており、複雑な形状に対応した移動制御が行われるとともに、異なる形状の部品にも同じ装置構成で対応できるようになっている。例えば、特許文献1には板材を板材の周囲を拘束せずに所望する形状の型工具(支持具)に固定し、NC加工機に取り付けられた押圧工具を決められた工具軌跡に沿って前記型工具に押し当てることで板材を所望する形状に加工する技術が示されている。この技術によれば、板材の周囲を拘束する場合と異なり板材の周囲を拘束していないため90°曲げが可能となり、また板厚の減少を低減できる。   As a plastic working method for mass production of automobile parts, press working using a mold is widely used. However, since processing with a press machine and molds increases the size of the equipment and the cost of manufacturing the molds, new processing methods with excellent economic efficiency suitable for high-mix low-volume production in response to diversifying consumer needs Is required. In addition, the shape of parts that can be manufactured by press working is limited, and an advanced processing method capable of manufacturing parts with more complicated shapes is required. In response to these demands, a sequential molding method has been put into practical use in recent years and is becoming popular as a production facility. In the sequential molding method, a general-purpose pressing tool is used instead of a die having a specific shape, and a predetermined three-dimensional shape is molded by moving the pressing tool against a plate material such as metal or resin. . Further, in order to form a complicated shape, a mold tool having a desired shape and a bar-shaped tool for bringing a plate material along the mold tool may be used in combination. Furthermore, numerical control is used for the movement of the pressing tool, and movement control corresponding to a complicated shape is performed, and parts of different shapes can be handled with the same apparatus configuration. For example, in Patent Document 1, the plate material is fixed to a mold tool (support) having a desired shape without constraining the periphery of the plate material, and the pressing tool attached to the NC processing machine is set along the predetermined tool trajectory. A technique for processing a plate material into a desired shape by pressing against a mold tool is shown. According to this technique, unlike the case where the periphery of the plate material is constrained, the periphery of the plate material is not constrained, so that 90 ° bending can be performed, and reduction in the plate thickness can be reduced.

また、特許文献2には、逐次成形加工の際に加工部に発生する反り(突起)を防止するために、突起押え部材で押圧する工具が示されている。

Patent Document 2 discloses a tool that is pressed by a protrusion pressing member in order to prevent warpage (protrusion) that occurs in a processed portion during sequential molding.
JP 2001-334314 A (2nd page) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-2910666 (Summary)

特許文献1に示すように板材の周囲を拘束せずに逐次成形を行うと90°曲げや板厚の低減が可能となるが、板材に押圧工具を押し当てることにより板材に反りが生じると、型工具の形状に加工することが難しくなる。   As shown in Patent Document 1, 90 ° bending and reduction in plate thickness are possible by performing sequential molding without constraining the periphery of the plate material, but when the plate material is warped by pressing a pressing tool against the plate material, It becomes difficult to process the shape of the mold tool.

また、特許文献2に示すように突起押え部材で押圧する工具を用いれば反りを抑えることは可能となるが、板材を加工する押圧部位と突起押え部材で押圧して板材の反りを抑える部位との距離が一定となっているので、加工する形状によっては板材の反りが生ずる部位を押圧することができず所望する形状に加工するのが難しい場合も有り得る。さらに、突起押え部材は板材の表面と平面で接触しながら進行するため板材の表面に傷を付けやすくなってしまう。   Further, as shown in Patent Document 2, it is possible to suppress warping by using a tool pressed by a protrusion pressing member, but a pressing portion that processes a plate material and a portion that suppresses warpage of the plate material by pressing with a protrusion pressing member. Therefore, depending on the shape to be processed, it may be difficult to press the portion where the warpage of the plate material occurs and it is difficult to process it into a desired shape. Furthermore, since the protrusion pressing member advances while contacting the surface of the plate material in a plane, the surface of the plate material is likely to be damaged.

そこで、本発明は上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、板材の反りを抑えて所望する形状に容易に加工することができること、また板材の表面に傷を付けにくい逐次成形方法およびその装置を提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and can be easily processed into a desired shape while suppressing warpage of the plate material, and a sequential forming method and apparatus that hardly damage the surface of the plate material. The purpose is to provide.

また、第1押圧部と第2押圧部を備えた押圧工具が板材を押圧するとき、前記第1押圧部と前記第2押圧部との距離は板材の形状に基づいて可変し、第1押圧部が前記板材を押圧しながら、第2押圧部が板材を押圧して成形を行うため、板材を型工具の形状に合わせ易くなり、所望する形状に容易に加工することができる。
In the first problem solving means, since the plate material is pressed by the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion, an effect is obtained as if the plate material is pressed (faced) by the surface, and local deformation of the plate material is suppressed. can do. In the molding of a plate material using a high strength material having a particularly high strength, it is possible to suppress the spring back of the plate material and prevent the plate material from wavy. In addition, since the support (restraint) position of the plate material can be made longer than before, the setup when forming the plate material becomes easy.
When the pressing tool including the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion presses the plate material, the distance between the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion varies based on the shape of the plate material. Since the second pressing portion presses the plate material while the portion presses the plate material, the plate material is easily matched with the shape of the mold tool, and can be easily processed into a desired shape.

また、第の課題解決手段では、第2押圧部の前記第1押圧部に対する移動が直線的であれば、簡単な構造で第1押圧部に対し第2押圧部の位置を可変させることができる。 Further, in the second problem solving means, if the movement of the second pressing portion relative to the first pressing portion is linear, the position of the second pressing portion can be varied with respect to the first pressing portion with a simple structure. it can.

The interference between the second pressing portion and the molding part can be prevented.

また、第の課題解決手段では、第2押圧部を駆動手段により板材を押圧する方向(軸方向)に移動可能とすることで、板材の複雑な形状の成形に対応することができる。 Further, in the seventh problem solving means, the second pressing portion can be moved in the direction (axial direction) in which the plate material is pressed by the driving means, so that it is possible to cope with molding of a complicated shape of the plate material.

本発明を実施するための最良の形態を以下に説明する。図1は、本発明の実施形態の逐次成形装置の模式図である。本実施形態の逐次成形装置1は、型工具2、押圧工具3、多関節ロボット4、図略の制御部、で構成され、押圧工具3は多関節ロボット4のアーム部41の先端に取り付けられている。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a sequential molding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sequential forming apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes a mold tool 2, a pressing tool 3, an articulated robot 4, and a control unit (not shown). The pressing tool 3 is attached to the tip of an arm portion 41 of the articulated robot 4. ing.

逐次成形装置1は、板材Mを型工具2の表面形状に沿わせて成形する装置であり、型工具2の表面形状を取り替えることにより様々な形状の部品を成形できるようになっている。また、多関節ロボット4を使用することで押圧工具3に複雑な動きをさせることができ、これによりいろいろな形状を容易に形成することができる。なお、本実施形態では多関節ロボット4を使用しているが、形状によっては押圧工具3の動きを数値制御できる機械であればNC加工機等の使用も可能である。ここで、板材Mには塑性変形する金属や樹脂などを用いることができ、特に制約はない。   The sequential forming apparatus 1 is an apparatus for forming the plate material M along the surface shape of the mold tool 2, and can form parts having various shapes by changing the surface shape of the mold tool 2. Further, by using the articulated robot 4, the pressing tool 3 can be made to move in a complicated manner, whereby various shapes can be easily formed. Although the articulated robot 4 is used in the present embodiment, an NC machine or the like can be used as long as the machine can numerically control the movement of the pressing tool 3 depending on the shape. Here, the plate material M can be made of a plastically deformed metal or resin, and is not particularly limited.

型工具2は、製作する部品に合わせて前もって製作した所望する形状の型を用いることができ、板材Mを例えばボルト等の締結部材により、型工具上に拘束するようになっている。   As the mold tool 2, a mold having a desired shape manufactured in advance according to a part to be manufactured can be used, and the plate material M is constrained on the mold tool by a fastening member such as a bolt.

本実施形態では型工具の中央部で板材Mを締結部材により拘束しているが、型工具の中央部以外または型工具2に板材Mを拘束せずに板材Mの外周部を拘束することも有り得る。   In the present embodiment, the plate material M is restrained by the fastening member at the center portion of the mold tool, but the outer peripheral portion of the plate material M may be restrained other than the center portion of the mold tool or without restraining the plate material M to the mold tool 2. It is possible.

図2は図1に示す本実施形態の押圧工具3の正面図であり、図3は本実施形態の押圧工具3の下視図、図4は本実施形態の押圧工具3を図2の右側面から見た右側面図を示す。図2〜図4に示すように押圧工具3は第1取付け面311と反対の先端が半球棒状をした第1押圧部32と、ローラ331を有し第1押圧部32に対し直線的に移動する第2押圧部33と、第2押圧部33を移動させる駆動用送りねじ35と、駆動用モータ(図示せず)と、を備えている。なお、第1押圧部32の形状は本実施形態の棒状に限定するものではなく、型工具2の形状に合わせて製作された特定の形状にすることも有り得る。   2 is a front view of the pressing tool 3 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the pressing tool 3 of this embodiment, and FIG. 4 shows the pressing tool 3 of this embodiment on the right side of FIG. The right view seen from the surface is shown. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the pressing tool 3 includes a first pressing portion 32 having a hemispherical bar-shaped tip opposite to the first mounting surface 311 and a roller 331 and moves linearly with respect to the first pressing portion 32. A second pressing portion 33, a driving feed screw 35 for moving the second pressing portion 33, and a driving motor (not shown). In addition, the shape of the 1st press part 32 is not limited to the rod shape of this embodiment, It can also be made into the specific shape manufactured according to the shape of the type | mold tool 2. FIG.

押圧工具3の基部31は、第1押圧部32を取り付ける第1取付け面311と第2押圧部33を直線的に移動させるための一対のレール34を取り付ける第2取付け面312と多関節ロボット4のアーム部41に取り付けられる第3取付け面313を有していて、第1取付け面311と第2取付け面312はそれぞれ第3取付け面313に対し同じ方向で第3取付け面313と対向し、かつ平行に配設されている。また、第3取付け面313と第2取付け面312の距離D2は第3取付け面313と第1取付け面311の距離D1より小さく設けられている。第2取付け面312には図3に示すように第1取付け面311と反対に位置する端部に駆動用モータを取り付けるための凹部31cが設けられている。さらに、第2取付け面312には一対のレール34が所定の距離を開けて基部31の長手方向(図3中の左右方向)に沿って対向して設けられている。レール34は図4に示すように断面が台形状で上底が基部31の第2取付け面312に接してボルト等の締結部材により固定されている。   The base 31 of the pressing tool 3 includes a first mounting surface 311 for mounting the first pressing portion 32, a second mounting surface 312 for mounting a pair of rails 34 for linearly moving the second pressing portion 33, and the articulated robot 4. The first mounting surface 311 and the second mounting surface 312 are opposed to the third mounting surface 313 in the same direction with respect to the third mounting surface 313, respectively. And they are arranged in parallel. The distance D2 between the third mounting surface 313 and the second mounting surface 312 is smaller than the distance D1 between the third mounting surface 313 and the first mounting surface 311. As shown in FIG. 3, the second mounting surface 312 is provided with a recess 31 c for mounting a driving motor at an end portion opposite to the first mounting surface 311. Further, a pair of rails 34 are provided on the second mounting surface 312 so as to face each other along the longitudinal direction of the base 31 (left and right direction in FIG. 3) with a predetermined distance. As shown in FIG. 4, the rail 34 has a trapezoidal cross section, and an upper bottom is in contact with the second mounting surface 312 of the base 31 and is fixed by a fastening member such as a bolt.

第2押圧部33の移動板334はレール34の断面と略同じ大きさの台形状の貫通穴が台形の上底が移動板334の上面と一致し、一対のレール34と嵌合する位置に2箇所設けられている。レール34と移動板334が略同じ台形形状で、台形の上底を上にして嵌合させることで移動板334は、レール34から脱落せずに直線的に滑動することができる。また、移動板334には移動板334を駆動させる送りねじ35が取り付けられている。駆動モータ(図示せず)が送りねじ35を回転させ、この送りねじ35の回転により移動板334は駆動させられてレールに沿って直線的に移動する。これにより、第1押圧部32に対する第2押圧部33の位置は自在に変化させることができので、どのような形状に対しても第2押圧部33が第1押圧部32から最適の距離で板材Mを押圧して板材Mの反りを抑制することができ、容易に型工具2の形状にすることが可能となる。   The moving plate 334 of the second pressing portion 33 has a trapezoidal through-hole having substantially the same size as the cross section of the rail 34, and the upper base of the trapezoid coincides with the upper surface of the moving plate 334 so that the pair of rails 34 are fitted. Two places are provided. The rail 34 and the moving plate 334 have substantially the same trapezoidal shape, and the moving plate 334 can be linearly slid without falling off the rail 34 by fitting with the upper base of the trapezoid facing up. A feed screw 35 for driving the moving plate 334 is attached to the moving plate 334. A drive motor (not shown) rotates the feed screw 35, and the moving plate 334 is driven by the rotation of the feed screw 35 and moves linearly along the rail. Thereby, since the position of the 2nd press part 33 with respect to the 1st press part 32 can be changed freely, the 2nd press part 33 is the optimal distance from the 1st press part 32 with respect to what shape. The board | plate material M can be pressed and the curvature of the board | plate material M can be suppressed, and it becomes possible to make it the shape of the type | mold tool 2 easily.

また、移動板334の下面には一対の固定板332が所定の間隔を開けて固定され、一対の固定板332の間にローラ331が軸ピン333により回転自在に固定されている。ローラ331の外周面331aは移動板334と反対に位置する固定板332の端部332aより外に位置し、このローラ331の外周面331aが板材Mを押圧しながら板材Mの表面を移動する。このように、ローラ331は板材Mの表面を回転しながら移動するため板材Mの表面に傷が付くのを抑制することができる。   A pair of fixed plates 332 are fixed to the lower surface of the moving plate 334 at a predetermined interval, and a roller 331 is rotatably fixed between the pair of fixed plates 332 by a shaft pin 333. The outer peripheral surface 331 a of the roller 331 is positioned outside the end 332 a of the fixed plate 332 positioned opposite to the moving plate 334, and the outer peripheral surface 331 a of the roller 331 moves on the surface of the plate material M while pressing the plate material M. Thus, since the roller 331 moves while rotating on the surface of the plate material M, the surface of the plate material M can be prevented from being damaged.

さらに、移動板334の下面には固定板332に当接して設けられている形状検知部335が配設され、形状検知部335には形状検知部335の下面335aと同一平面状に形状検知手段335aが配設されている。形状検知部335の下面335aはローラ331の外周面331aより移動板334側にあり、ローラ331の外周面331aが板材Mを押圧するのを妨げないようになっている。   Furthermore, a shape detection unit 335 provided in contact with the fixed plate 332 is disposed on the lower surface of the moving plate 334, and the shape detection unit 335 has a shape detection unit that is flush with the lower surface 335a of the shape detection unit 335. 335a is provided. The lower surface 335 a of the shape detection unit 335 is located closer to the moving plate 334 than the outer peripheral surface 331 a of the roller 331, and does not prevent the outer peripheral surface 331 a of the roller 331 from pressing the plate material M.

次に本実施形態の逐次成形装置を使った成形方法について説明する。   Next, the shaping | molding method using the sequential shaping | molding apparatus of this embodiment is demonstrated.

多関節ロボット4のアーム部41の先端に取り付けた押圧工具3の第1押圧部32が型工具2の形状に沿って押圧して成形加工する軌跡を多関節ロボット4にプログラムする。プログラム入力後、ボルト等により板材Mを型工具2に拘束した後前記プログラムを実行させることで多関節ロボット4が板材Mを前記プログラムによる軌跡に従って押圧して成形加工する。この成形加工に際し、押圧工具3の第2押圧部33に設けた形状検知手段335aが板材Mの形状を検知し、この検知結果に基づいて第2押圧部33を送りねじ35により駆動させて第1押圧部32に対する第2押圧部33の距離を変えて板材Mを押圧することで板材Mの反りを抑制する。形状検知手段335aは、例えば光や超音波等を使った近接センサが使用でき本実施形態では光による近接センサを一列に5個並べて使用している。この5個の近接センサのONまたはOFFの信号に基づいて板材Mの形状を判別して第2押圧部33を駆動させる。   The first joint 32 of the pressing tool 3 attached to the tip of the arm part 41 of the articulated robot 4 presses along the shape of the mold tool 2 to program the locus of molding into the articulated robot 4. After inputting the program, the plate material M is constrained to the mold tool 2 with bolts or the like, and the program is executed, whereby the articulated robot 4 presses the plate material M in accordance with the locus of the program to perform the forming process. At the time of this forming process, the shape detecting means 335a provided in the second pressing portion 33 of the pressing tool 3 detects the shape of the plate material M, and the second pressing portion 33 is driven by the feed screw 35 based on the detection result. The warp of the plate material M is suppressed by pressing the plate material M by changing the distance of the second press portion 33 with respect to the first press portion 32. As the shape detection means 335a, for example, a proximity sensor using light or ultrasonic waves can be used. In this embodiment, five proximity sensors using light are arranged in a line. Based on the ON / OFF signals of the five proximity sensors, the shape of the plate M is discriminated and the second pressing portion 33 is driven.

なお、本実施形態では板材Mの形状を形状検知手段335aにより検知しながら押圧工具2を移動させて成形を行っているが、型工具2の形状によっては成形前に最良の位置に押圧工具2を移動させた後は、押圧工具2の位置を移動させずに成形を行うことも有り得る。   In this embodiment, the pressing tool 2 is moved while forming the plate M while detecting the shape of the plate M by the shape detecting means 335a. However, depending on the shape of the mold tool 2, the pressing tool 2 is placed at the best position before forming. After moving, the molding may be performed without moving the position of the pressing tool 2.

以下に板材Mの形状の判別と第2押圧部33の駆動について説明する。   Hereinafter, determination of the shape of the plate member M and driving of the second pressing portion 33 will be described.

図5に示すように第1押圧部32に近い方からNo.1からN0.5の近接センサ335aが配設され、それぞれのON、OFF信号の状況によって以下に示すように第2押圧部33を駆動させる。   As shown in FIG. Proximity sensors 335a of 1 to N0.5 are arranged, and the second pressing portion 33 is driven as shown below according to the state of each ON and OFF signal.

(A)No.1からN0.5がすべてOFFの場合
第2押圧部33が板材Mの端部より外側に位置し板材Mを押圧することができないので、
ローラ331を板材Mの端部に合わせるために第2押圧部33を第1押圧部32側へ駆動させる。
(A) No. When 1 to N0.5 are all OFF, since the second pressing portion 33 is located outside the end portion of the plate material M and cannot press the plate material M,
In order to align the roller 331 with the end of the plate member M, the second pressing portion 33 is driven to the first pressing portion 32 side.

(B)No.1、またはNo.1およびNo.2がONの場合
板材Mは近接センサ335aのNo.1の位置からNo.5の位置に向かって次第に離れていて形状変化が大きい。または、第2押圧部33のローラ331の一部が板材Mの端部より外側に位置している。このため、第2押圧部33を第1押圧部32側へ駆動させる。このように駆動することで、板材Mの形状変化が大きいときは第2押圧部33の板材Mを押圧する位置が第1押圧部32の板材Mを押圧する位置に近くなり、形状変化に細かく追従させることができ、また第2押圧部33のローラ331の一部が板材Mの端部より外側に位置しているときはローラ331を板材Mの端部に合わせることができる。
(B) No. 1 or no. 1 and no. When the plate 2 is ON, the plate material M is the No. of the proximity sensor 335a. No. 1 It is gradually away from the position 5 and the shape change is large. Alternatively, a part of the roller 331 of the second pressing portion 33 is located outside the end portion of the plate material M. For this reason, the 2nd press part 33 is driven to the 1st press part 32 side. By driving in this way, when the shape change of the plate material M is large, the position of the second pressing portion 33 that presses the plate material M is close to the position of pressing the plate material M of the first pressing portion 32, and the shape change is fine. Further, when a part of the roller 331 of the second pressing portion 33 is positioned outside the end portion of the plate material M, the roller 331 can be aligned with the end portion of the plate material M.

(C)No.1からNo.3までがONの場合
板材Mの形状変化が(B)に比べて小さい。または、第2押圧部33のローラ331の中央が板材Mの端部に位置している。このため、第2押圧部33は駆動させない。
(C) No. 1 to No. When 3 is ON, the shape change of the plate material M is small compared to (B). Alternatively, the center of the roller 331 of the second pressing portion 33 is located at the end of the plate material M. For this reason, the 2nd press part 33 is not driven.

(D)No.3からNo.5までがONの場合
板材Mの形状変化が(C)の場合と同様に板材Mの形状変化が(B)に比べて小さいので第2押圧部33は駆動させない。
(D) No. 3 to No. When 5 is ON, since the shape change of the plate material M is smaller than that of (B) as in the case of (C), the second pressing portion 33 is not driven.

(E)No.1からNo.4までがON、またはすべてがONの場合
第2押圧部33に対し板材Mは略同一の距離にあることから第2押圧部33と板材Mは略平行状態にある。このため、より効率的に成形加工するために第1押圧部32に対し反対方向に駆動させて、第1押圧部32に対し第2押圧部33の距離を遠くする。
(E) No. 1 to No. When 4 is ON or all are ON, since the plate material M is at substantially the same distance with respect to the second pressing portion 33, the second pressing portion 33 and the plate material M are in a substantially parallel state. For this reason, in order to perform the molding process more efficiently, the first pressing portion 32 is driven in the opposite direction, and the distance of the second pressing portion 33 is increased with respect to the first pressing portion 32.

(F)No.5、またはNo.4およびNo.5がONの場合
板材Mは近接センサ335aのNo.1の位置からNo.5の位置に向かって次第に近づいていて(B)と同様形状変化が大きい。このため、第2押圧部33を第1押圧部32側へ駆動させる。これにより形状変化に細かく追従させることができる。
(F) No. 5, or No. 4 and no. When the plate 5 is ON, the plate material M is the No. of the proximity sensor 335a. No. 1 The shape changes gradually toward the position 5 and the shape change is large as in (B). For this reason, the 2nd press part 33 is driven to the 1st press part 32 side. Thereby, it is possible to finely follow the shape change.

以上述べたように形状検知手段335aにより板材Mの形状を検知し、この検知結果に基づき第2押圧部33を駆動させて第1押圧部32に対する第2押圧部33の位置を変化させることで第1押圧部32と第2押圧部33の板材Mを押圧する距離を形状に合わせて最適にすることができ、容易に型工具2の形状を形成することができる。また、前記(A)から(F)までの場合のうち第2押圧部33を駆動させない(C)および(D)以外は、一端ローラ331の外周面331aを板材Mから離した後に第2押圧部33の駆動を行う。これにより板材Mへの傷付きを防ぐことができる。   As described above, the shape detecting means 335a detects the shape of the plate material M, and based on the detection result, the second pressing portion 33 is driven to change the position of the second pressing portion 33 relative to the first pressing portion 32. The distance for pressing the plate material M between the first pressing portion 32 and the second pressing portion 33 can be optimized according to the shape, and the shape of the mold tool 2 can be easily formed. Further, in the cases from (A) to (F), the second pressing portion 33 is not driven, except for (C) and (D), after the outer peripheral surface 331a of the one-end roller 331 is separated from the plate material M, the second pressing portion is pressed. The unit 33 is driven. Thereby, the board | plate material M can be prevented from being damaged.

なお、本実施形態では形状検知手段335aに近接センサを5個使用しているが、形状によっては3個の場合もありうる。また、形状検知手段335aは形状を検知できるものであれば近接センサに限定するものではなく、CCDカメラやレーザーセンサの使用も可能である。   In this embodiment, five proximity sensors are used for the shape detection means 335a, but there may be three depending on the shape. The shape detecting means 335a is not limited to the proximity sensor as long as it can detect the shape, and a CCD camera or a laser sensor can also be used.

以上説明したように、本実施形態の逐次成形装置による成形方法では、押圧工具3の第1押圧部32で板材Mを型工具2に押圧して成形加工しながら、第1押圧部32の押圧による板材Mの反りを押圧工具3の第2押圧部33にて押圧することで抑制し、効率よく成形加工することができる。この際、第1押圧部32の押圧による板材Mの反りは形状によって第1押圧部32からの距離が変化するので、第1押圧部32に対する第2押圧部33の距離を可変させることで各種形状に対応ができ、所望する形状に容易に成形加工することができる。   As described above, in the molding method using the sequential molding apparatus according to the present embodiment, the first pressing portion 32 is pressed while the plate material M is pressed against the mold tool 2 by the first pressing portion 32 of the pressing tool 3. Is suppressed by pressing the second pressing portion 33 of the pressing tool 3, and can be efficiently processed. At this time, since the distance from the first pressing portion 32 varies depending on the shape of the warp of the plate material M due to the pressing of the first pressing portion 32, various types of warping of the plate member M by varying the distance of the second pressing portion 33 with respect to the first pressing portion 32 can be performed. It can cope with the shape and can be easily molded into a desired shape.

また、第2押圧部33は一対のレール34と送りねじ35の簡単な構造で直線的に移動して、第1押圧部に対し第2押圧部の距離を可変することができる。   Moreover, the 2nd press part 33 can move linearly with the simple structure of a pair of rail 34 and the feed screw 35, and can change the distance of a 2nd press part with respect to a 1st press part.

また、第2押圧部33には形状を検知する形状検知手段335aが配設されているので、
簡単な構造で正確に板材Mの形状を検知し、第1押圧部32に対する第2押圧部33の距離を可変することで各種形状に対応ができ、容易に所望する形状に成形加工することができる。
Moreover, since the shape detection means 335a which detects a shape is arrange | positioned in the 2nd press part 33,
By detecting the shape of the plate material M accurately with a simple structure and changing the distance of the second pressing portion 33 with respect to the first pressing portion 32, it is possible to cope with various shapes, and it can be easily formed into a desired shape. it can.

また、第2押圧部33はローラ331で板材Mを押圧するので板材Mの表面に傷を付けにくい。   In addition, since the second pressing portion 33 presses the plate material M with the roller 331, the surface of the plate material M is hardly damaged.
