| 20100326156 | Crimp validation using crimp force monitoring apparatus, systems and methods - A method monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose, or the like, includes monitoring fluid pressure for carrying out the crimp at discrete diameters of the crimp, during the crimp, and analyzing crimp data reflecting the fluid pressure with respect to the diameters of the crimp during the crimp to determine if the fluid pressure is above a minimum pressure at particular diameters during the crimp, below a maximum pressure during the particular diameters during the crimp, and/or varies significantly from earlier crimps, to determine if the crimp is acceptable. A system for monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose end or the like might include a pressure sensor deployed in conjunction with a crimper to measure fluid pressure employed by the crimper during the crimp, a die diameter monitor and, a controller operatively connected to the crimper and sensors. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20130227999 | WORKPIECE PUNCH-MOLDING METHOD AND WORKPIECE PUNCH-MOLDING DEVICE - Provided is a workpiece punch-molding method and a workpiece punch-molding device capable of maintaining the thickness of a workpiece at a constant precision. Prior to the punch of a workpiece by a mold punch and a counter punch, the data denoting a relationship between a punch speed of the mold punch and a delay time of the depressurization of the counter punch is obtained. The counter punch is subjected to the depressurization at an early timing based on the obtained data. | 09-05-2013 |
| 20110271727 | CIRCUIT FOR CONDUIT BENDER - A conduit bender having a unitary frame is mounted to a wheeled base which provides for transportation of the bender. A braking assembly provides for simplified locking of the wheels to secure the bender in a location. The bender is mounted to the base through a pivoting assembly which allows for bending of conduit in either a horizontal or vertical plane. A circuit is provided for controlling the bending operation. An auto-sensing portion of the circuit receives information regarding the characteristics of the conduit to be bent upon placement of the conduit in the bender. A feed back portion of the circuit is used to provide a precise bending operation. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20130025335 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL OF PARALLELISM IN A BENDING MACHINE FOR WORKING METAL PRODUCTS - An apparatus for the electrohydraulic control of the parallelism of a roller in a bending machine for working metal pieces, having pump means for supplying with an operating fluid first actuating means and second actuating means; position transducer means connected operationally to an electronic control unit; and first and second proportional valve means operatively controllable by said electronic control unit to adjust the flow of said operating fluid into said first and second actuating means according to signals of said position transducer means. | 01-31-2013 |

| 20100263421 | Control of Metal Cold Forming Machines - A metal forming machine for cold forming a metal product to a desired dimension and/or configuration includes a forming means with at least one movable part for applying load to the metal product. A position sensing means establishes a measured position of the movable part indicative of a measured dimension and/or configuration of the metal product, and a load measuring means establishes a measured load applied by the moving part. A control means selects a nominal load (nom load) setting to achieve the desired dimension and/or configuration (pos nom), and enables actuation of the forming means until a calibration load (cal load) is reached where the position sensing means establishes the measured dimension and/or configuration (pos cal), whereupon the load is lowered. The control means then establishes a new load setting as a function of (pos nom) minus (pos cal), and reactivates the forming means to the new load setting to form the metal product. | 10-21-2010 |
