Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plate-shaped workpiece forming method of post-machining a pocket ( 3 ) on a curved inner surface of a plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ) in a state where the plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ) curved by a curving machine ( 10 ) is spread flat. The method includes a curving step (A) of setting a net curve radius (R 0 ) obtained by adding a curve radius contraction amount (R 1 ) due to spring-in to a finished curve radius (R) of a plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ), taking into account an amount of contraction of the curve radius of the plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ) between before and after machining of a pocket ( 3 ) due to spring-in, and curving the plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ) so as to achieve the net curve radius (R 0 ); and a pocket machining step of post-machining the pocket ( 3 ) by flatly spreading the curved plate-shaped workpiece ( 2 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A plate-shaped workpiece forming method of post-machining a pocket on a curved inner surface of a plate-shaped workpiece in a state where the plate-shaped workpiece curved by a curving machine is spread flat, the method comprising: a curving step of setting a net curve radius R 0 obtained by adding a curve radius contraction amount R 1 to a finished curve radius R of the plate-shaped workpiece, taking into account an amount of contraction of a curve…
