Abstract:
A hydraulic operated tool includes a body (B), a pair of jaws (21) mounted with respect to the body so that at least one of the jaws is movable between an opened jaw position and a closed jaw position so as to engage workpiece (W) between the jaws. A ram assembly (2) is disposed in the body and is operatively associated with the jaws. Spring structure (1) causes the ram assembly to move thereby causing the jaws to initially engage the workpiece with a first force. A pump assembly (7) exerts fluid on the ram assembly to move the ram assembly further, causing the jaws to exert a second force, greater than the first force, on the workpiece.
Abstract:
An apparatus for forming production parts under internal high-pressure conditions, has an internal high-pressure forming tool which includes a top and a bottom die half and also can produce a fluidic internal high pressure inside the closed die. A support plate is movable in a reciprocating manner relative to a head plate, and a supporting means is pushed into the intermediate space produced in the closed state of the die between the lowered support plate and the head plate (9) and supports the two plates against one another during the forming operation while maintaining the distance between them.
Abstract:
An improved forming tool apparatus for forming an article having a negative draft angle that locks the formed article within the forming tool. First and second forming tools are closed relative one another to define a forming tool cavity in which the article is formed and opened for removal of the formed article from the forming tool cavity. The first forming tool has a removable cavity wall segment having an undercut cavity wall that provides a desired shape to the formed article but locks the formed article against removal from the forming tool cavity. A pivot linkage normally establishes the removable wall segment in a forming position in which the undercut wall is poised for forming of the article and selectively pivots the removable wall segment out of the forming position when the forming tools are opened so that the undercut wall is pivotally lifted and releases the formed article for removal from the cavity.
Abstract:
A pressing tool (13) includes a fluid pump (4), a cylinder element (5) arranged connecting with this and a piston which can be slid forward in the cylinder element (5) by pressure fluid of the fluid pump (4) and reset by a return spring (20a). A piston rod (6) is passed out to the cylinder element (5) as an activation part. The pressing tool (13) is moreover outfitted with a position measuring device (12, 12a; 112, 212, 212a) which measures without contact which makes the piston position continuously detectable over a positioning range free of disturbance and with a presence sensor (52). The presence sensor (52) verifies the presence of ajointing clamp (51) and issues an indicator signal in the event that ajointing clamp (51) is missing or improperly fastened and shuts the pressing tool (13) off following a delay period to the extent that no orderly inserted jointing clamp (51) is yet available. The pressing tool (13) can also characterize the quality of the extrusion on the basis of the comparison of a detected maximal piston end position with a specified piston position range value.
Abstract:
In order to configure the bending of a plate in an intermediate space between two blade rings, arranged along an axis of a compressor and having blades extending along a radius in a simpler and more effective manner, the novel concept provides a bending device which can be positioned in the intermediate space and has, according to the invention, a fixing element for the bending device, a hydraulic system and a punch which can be actuated by the hydraulic system. Accordingly, a method for bending a plate in the intermediate space provides for a bending device to be positioned in the intermediate space, for the bending device to be fixed in the intermediate space, and for a punch of the bending device to be hydraulically actuated for bending the plate, the punch being moved toward the plate to be bent, and the plate being bent under the effect of the punch.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for applying a working force to a workpiece, using a working cylinder. The device includes a working piston, an actuation chamber that can be supplied with a hydraulic medium, a recirculation chamber that can be supplied with a gaseous medium and a force transmission device that co-operates with the working piston. This allows a transmission or an application of the working force to a workpiece that is as rapid as possible with a technical construction that is as simple as possible.
Abstract:
A press mounted cam has an adapter, slide and a driver with range of sizes and working angles provided at low cost by driver and/or adapter constructions having base plates and a series of side by side upright plates of a number corresponding to a given length with an angled top corresponding to a given working angle.
Abstract:
To facilitate aligning and setting of a punch in a die of a press machine, a module cam assembly comprises a cam unit and an L-shaped module base. The cam unit comprises a cam driver, a cam slider equipped with a positive return to be driven by the cam driver, and a cam base holding the cam slider. The cam slider has a punch retainer on its vertical side. The L-shaped module base bears the cam unit, and is adapted to be fastened to the lower die holder. The L-shaped module base has a button die on its vertical leg in confronting relation with the punch retainer of the cam slider. This arrangement facilitates the centering and fastening of any tool to the press machine.
Abstract:
A press for translating a tool includes a first member, a second member and a plurality of retention members. The first member is drivingly coupled to an actuator. The first member is axially moveable between first and second positions in response to movement of the actuator. The first member includes a first end surface having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart detents. The second member is threadably engaged with the first member. The first and second members define an assembly having a length. The retention members are positioned between the first and second members. Each retention member is biasedly engaged with one of the detents to provide resistance to relative rotation between the first and second members. The resistance to relative rotation may be overcome to adjust the length of the assembly.
