CONFORM INSTALLATION STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS DESIGN METHODS

Abstract

The technical features in manufacturing press non-ferrous metal articles have been considered via the Conform continuous pressing. Based on an analysis of different types of press equipment, the absence of a connection between the system for fastening the two-part container fixed part (the shoe) and the working wheel shaft has been revealed as a shortcoming specific to many Conform installations. This does not allow observation of a controlled gap between the shoe and the groove bottom during the operation of the installation, which, in turn, breaks the stable feed of the bar billet into the die. The purpose of this operation is to develop a system for fastening the shoe that ensures the stable continuous metal extrusion process. Meanwhile, the task has been set of creating a tough and strong connection between the shoe and the working wheel shaft with the levers and drafts system that reduces the load of the bearings in the housing posts in which the wheel shaft rotates. As a result, the original technical solution of the Conform installation press unit has been developed. The practical use of the design presented in this work will open up new possibilities for manufacturing pressed metal non-ferrous metal products with a permanently high level of properties.
