Abstract: A device for driving a stamping foil over a path through a stamping machine is disclosed herein. The driving device comprises two foil-introduction chain-like elements and a drive member coupled to the foil-introduction chain-like elements for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements notably through a platen press of a stamping machine. The driving device further comprises at least one first load-measurement device comprising a first detector configured to measure a parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements in a first direction, the at least one first load-measurement device being connected to a stamping-machine control unit configured to stop the driving by the drive member when the parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member and measured by the first detector crosses a threshold.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for unrolling a strip (10) for a stamping machine (1) that allows an accumulation of the strip to be stamped (2) under a pre-unrolled form between at least one stamping spool (3) and a plate press (310) of the stamping machine (1), so characterized in that the device for unrolling a strip (10) comprises: a central drum (11) configured to be led in rotation at a variable advance speed, united in rotation with an axis of the device for unrolling the strip (10), a satellite roller (14) presenting an axis (11) constructed parallel to the axis of the central drum (11), where the satellite roller (14) can be turned around the central drum (11), and the pre-unrolled strip may be rolled around the central drum (11) due to the movement of the satellite roller (14), and a planetary leading device (15) to move the satellite roller (14) around the central drum (11) as a function of the difference of the rotation speeds of the central drum (11) and of an exterior ring (13) of the planeta

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (410; 410?) for driving a stamping foil over a path through a stamping machine, the driving device (410; 410?) comprising two foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) and a drive member (440) coupled to the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) notably through a platen press (310) of the stamping machine (1), characterized in that it further comprises at least one first load-measurement device (3a; 3a?) comprising a first detector (7a) configured to measure a parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member (440) for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) in a first direction, the at least one first load-measurement device (3a; 3a?) being connected to a stamping-machine (1) control unit (4) configured to stop the driving by the drive member (440) when the parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member (440) and measured by the first detec

Abstract: A holding device (1) for a succession of sheet-shaped elements circulating in a processing machine (100) along conveying path T. The holding device (1) has two series (10, 20) of a plurality of suction members (11, 21). At least one series of suction members 20 extends along and is movably mounted parallel to the transport path T of the sheets, between a retracted position and a deployed position. Each series is in an array, parallel to the transport path and the suction members are arranged spaced apart alongside one another, so that the array of members extend perpendicular to the conveying path T of the sheets and the suction members (11, 21) of each series (10, 20) are transversely offset relative to the suction members (11, 21) of the other series (10, 20).
