Abstract: The invention concerns a system comprising a clip machine having at least one interchangeable first closure tool which to close clips around a packaging case of tubular or bag shape is movable relative to a second closure tool, and a clip supply. The first closure tool and the clip supply each have a respective identification. The clip machine has a first sensor device which is adapted to identify the identification of the clip supply and output a corresponding clip information signal, a second sensor device which is adapted to identify the identification of the first closure tool and output a corresponding closure tool information signal, and a control having a signal input coupled to the first and the second sensor devices and an evaluation means which is adapted to evaluate the clip information signal and the closure tool information signal and to output a compatibility signal. The invention further concerns a method of operating such a clip machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clip machine comprising a closing lever, a first closing tool arranged on said closing lever and pivotable with same, a second closing tool, wherein the first closing tool and the second closing tool are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in order to close clips, a drive controller for the closing tools that is configured in such a way that first the first closing tool and then the second closing tool is moved into the closed position, and adjusting means designed to set the neutral position of the second closing tool and hence the gap between the closing tools, in particular in their closed position (closure gap). The second closing tool is slidably disposed along linear guide means relative to the first closing tool.

Abstract: The invention concerns a clip machine comprising at least one closure lever which has a bearing element defining a pivot axis, a receiving element for at least one first closure tool and a force application element for connection to a drive element, wherein the closure lever is mounted pivotably between an open position and a closed position, in which closed position the first closure tool can be brought into engagement with a second closure tool to close a clip. In that respect the closure lever is produced at least partially from a fiber-reinforced plastic composite (FRPC).

Abstract: The invention relates to a clip machine comprising two closing tools that are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in order to close clips, and further comprising adjusting means designed to set the neutral position of a closing tool and hence the gap between the closing tools, in particular in their closed position (closure gap). The clip machine includes a measuring device configured to measure a closing force applied when closing a clip, or a parameter proportional to said closing force, and to output a measured value representing the closing force or the parameter proportional thereto. The invention also relates to a method for adjusting such a clip machine.

Abstract: The invention consists in a method of setting up a machine for sealing closure clips between a stamp and a bottom tool, which for coaling the clip are first of all moved towards each other up to a sealing distance and are then moved away from each other, and where the sealing distance between stamp and bottom tool is detected by means of a sensor. The invention also consists in a device for sealing closure clips between a stamp and a bottom tool, where the device includes a sensor for detecting a sealing distance between stamp and bottom tool.

Abstract: The invention consists in an apparatus for sealing tubular or bag-shaped packing casings, comprising tools such as crimping shears for crimping the packaging casing as well as a punch (10) and a die (12) for setting and closing closure clips (46), where the movement of one or several tools is predetermined by at least one cam track on which a scanning roller (22; 32) is rolling, and which is characterized in that it additionally comprises a guide roller, which rolls on a separate guideway on the cam plate and by means of an elastic element (61) urges the scanning roller (32) against the cam track with a bias due to an elastic deformation of the elastic element (61).

Abstract: Method and device for sealing closure clips between a stamp and a bottom tool, wherein the sealing distance between stamp and bottom tool is monitored by a sensor.
