Abstract

An springback compensation method for on-line real-time metal sheet roll bending includes the steps of using multiple rollers to bend a continuous metal sheet of multiple sections having different materials or different thickness respectively; using a first position sensor to individually measure springback angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet, and feeding back to a programmable logic controller; using the programmable controller to control a bending roller to compensate the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet respectively; using a second position sensor to individually measure compensated angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet; and comparing a difference between the compensated angles and standard angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet after compensating bending.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A springback compensation method for the on-line real-time metal sheet roll bending which is used to compensatingly bend a continuous metal sheet of multiple sections having different materials or different thicknesses to predetermined standard angles respectively, wherein the springback compensation method comprises:
(a) using multiple rollers to bend the continuous metal sheet of the multiple sections having different materials or different thicknesses respectively;
(b) using a first position sensor to individually measure springback angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet, and feeding back to a programmable logic controller;
(c) using the programmable controller to control a bending roller to compensatingly bend the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet respectively;
(d) using a second position sensor to individually measure compensated angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet; and
(e) comparing a difference between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet after compensating bending.

2. The springback compensation method of claim 1 further comprising:
repeating step (b), step (c) and step (d) when a difference exists between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet in step (e).

3. The springback compensation method of claim 1 further comprising:
ending the compensating bending when no difference exists between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the multiple sections of the bent metal sheet in step (e).

4. A springback compensation method for on-line real-time metal sheet roll bending which is used to compensatingly bend a continuous metal sheet of first, second and third sections having different materials or different thicknesses to predetermined standard angles respectively, wherein the springback compensation method comprises:
(a) using multiple rollers to bend the continuous metal sheet of the first, second and third sections having different materials or different thicknesses respectively;
(b) using a first position sensor to individually measure springback angles of the first, second, and third sections of the bent metal sheet, and feeding back to a programmable logic controller;
(c) using the programmable controller to control a bending roller to compensatingly bend the first, second and third sections of the bent metal sheet respectively;
(d) using a second position sensor to individually measure compensated angles of the first, second and third sections of the bent metal sheet; and
(e) comparing a difference between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the first, second and third sections of the bent metal sheet after compensating bending.

5. The springback compensation method of claim 4 further comprising:
repeating step (b), step (c) and step (d) when a difference exists between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the first, second and third sections of the bent metal sheet in step (e).

6. The springback compensation method of claim 4 further comprising:
ending the compensating bending when no difference exists between the compensated angles and the predetermined standard angles of the first, second and third sections of the bent metal sheet in step (e).

7. The springback compensation method of claim 4 , wherein the second section is a welding section sandwiched between the first and third sections.

8. The springback compensation method of claim 4 , wherein the second section is a thickness-transition section sandwiched between the first and third sections.
