| 20100326156 | Crimp validation using crimp force monitoring apparatus, systems and methods - A method monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose, or the like, includes monitoring fluid pressure for carrying out the crimp at discrete diameters of the crimp, during the crimp, and analyzing crimp data reflecting the fluid pressure with respect to the diameters of the crimp during the crimp to determine if the fluid pressure is above a minimum pressure at particular diameters during the crimp, below a maximum pressure during the particular diameters during the crimp, and/or varies significantly from earlier crimps, to determine if the crimp is acceptable. A system for monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose end or the like might include a pressure sensor deployed in conjunction with a crimper to measure fluid pressure employed by the crimper during the crimp, a die diameter monitor and, a controller operatively connected to the crimper and sensors. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20130025335 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL OF PARALLELISM IN A BENDING MACHINE FOR WORKING METAL PRODUCTS - An apparatus for the electrohydraulic control of the parallelism of a roller in a bending machine for working metal pieces, having pump means for supplying with an operating fluid first actuating means and second actuating means; position transducer means connected operationally to an electronic control unit; and first and second proportional valve means operatively controllable by said electronic control unit to adjust the flow of said operating fluid into said first and second actuating means according to signals of said position transducer means. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20110271727 | CIRCUIT FOR CONDUIT BENDER - A conduit bender having a unitary frame is mounted to a wheeled base which provides for transportation of the bender. A braking assembly provides for simplified locking of the wheels to secure the bender in a location. The bender is mounted to the base through a pivoting assembly which allows for bending of conduit in either a horizontal or vertical plane. A circuit is provided for controlling the bending operation. An auto-sensing portion of the circuit receives information regarding the characteristics of the conduit to be bent upon placement of the conduit in the bender. A feed back portion of the circuit is used to provide a precise bending operation. | 11-10-2011 |

Including use of sensor responsive to information carried by removable auxiliary record (e.g., recording disk, tape, or card) | 3 |
| 20080202182 | Deformation of Thin Walled Bodies - A thin walled body is deformed in a process in which the body is gripped securely in a holding station and, whilst gripped in the holding station, tooling engages to deform the peripheral wall of the body at a predetermined wall zone. The tooling is provided at a tooling station which is adjacent the holding station during deformation. The predetermined wall zone is co-aligned with the tooling by rotation of the body about an axis prior to securing at the holding station. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090113969 | METHOD OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL THEMING - A method of fabricating a thematic design article is disclosed. One of the embodiments of the method comprises the step of formulating from a three-dimensional computer model of an article, design parameters for panel elements of the article. The method further comprises the step of controlling a wire bending device responsive to the design parameters to form the panel elements, wherein the panel elements are comprised of horizontal and vertical sub-elements comprising continuous sub-panels, linear cut to form sub-panels, or a combination thereof. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20120227452 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE QUALITY OF A STAMPED PART - A system and method for detecting a defective part and the type of defect formed during stamping operations. The system and method will not only detect the defect but also the nature of the defect and the time at which the defect occurred during stamping operations. Such information is useful not only in quality control but also in isolating a problem which may exist in stamping operations and thus eliminating time for isolating such problems and correcting them. The system and method uses a profile of a properly stamped part to detect a defect, and the root cause of the defect. | 09-13-2012 |
