Tilting System for a Flanging Device

Abstract

The invention relates to a tilting system which comprises a tilting unit having an actuator. Said actuator has a slide which can be moved to and fro in a direction of displacement. The front of the slide is provided with a tilting molding segment for shaping the flared flange of a metal sheet.

1 . A tilting unit configured to shape a flanged portion of a metal sheet, comprising:
 an actuator;   a slide of the actuator that can be moved to and fro in a displacement direction; and   a tilting moulding jaw attached to a front side of the slide to shape the flanged portion of the metal sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises a pneumatic cylinder. 
     
     
         3 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises a hydraulic cylinder. 
     
     
         4 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises an armature of a coil. 
     
     
         5 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises a spindle of an electric drive. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a bracket fastened to the actuator, wherein bracket has a guide face that is already cast. 
     
     
         8 . The tilting unit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a holder for the actuator that is configured as a weld construction. 
     
     
         9 . The tilting unit according to  claim 8 , wherein the weld construction comprises a cast part for the actuator. 
     
     
         10 . The tilting unit according to  claim 8 , wherein the holder for the actuator is cast directly onto a flanging bed. 
     
     
         11 .- 14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The tilting device according to  claim 10 , further comprising a holding-down device cast on the flanging bed.
