  • Patent number: 8739592
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for producing molded articles, comprising two cross members that are interconnected using tie rods. At least one cross member (11, 12) has an annular section accommodating a pressing module. At least one passage (30) is formed between at least two supporting blocks (3) which allow the distance between the cross members (11, 12) to be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 7350454
    Abstract: A cylinder unit for mounting on a machine for the deformation of workpieces includes a cylinder block and a pressure plate which is arranged on the surface of the cylinder block which faces away from the fastening surface, wherein a plurality of pistons each having a spherically shaped head are mounted in the cylinder block. Mounted on each spherically shaped head of the pistons is a pressure piece which protrudes into a bore of the pressure plate and has a recess corresponding to the spherically shaped head of the pistons. A gap is provided between the outer diameter of the pressure piece and the inner diameter of the bore in the pressure plate. A pressure disc is arranged between the pressure piece and the pressure plate in the bottom of the bore of the pressure plate.
