METHOD FOR SHAPING ELONGATED BLANKS AND MULTI-FUNCTIONAL BENDING-STRAIGHTENING MACHINE TOOL FOR PERFORMING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B21D5/01 B21D7/02 B21D3/02 B21D11/20 

FIELD: plastic working of metals, namely manufacture of parts from shapes.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of applying bending loads at predetermined force or camber of blank for one or several transitions along surface area of blank by means of rotation-local deforming along curvature lines by means of pressing moving roller on extensible bearing units mounted in such a way that to provide different spacing between said bearing units depending upon curvature radius of part. Shaping is realized at minimization of contact spot of upper pressing roller and blank due to lowered diameter of roller and its curvature radius in cross direction. Method is realized by means of machine tool whose upper deforming member is in the form of mounted in rod power drive of roller. Lower deforming member of machine tool is in the form of two extensible sections mounted with possibility of engaging with upper deforming roller. Machine tool is provided with manipulators for supporting worked blank.

EFFECT: modified design of machine tool, reduced power consumption.
