Abstract: A spray head for the cooling lubrication of a lower die and/or an upper die of a forming machine is disclosed. The spray head is able to be introduced between two working strokes into a working chamber between the lower die and the upper die. The spray head has at least two individually controllable nozzles for the cooling lubrication of different places of a die surface of the lower die and/or the upper die. The spray head also has a thermal imaging camera for recording a thermal image of the lower die and/or the upper die. A forming machine has a cooling device comprising an aforementioned spray head.

Abstract: An insulating die plate includes two parallel end plates and an insulating layer arranged therebetween which includes ceramic insulating bodies. An insulating body plane parallel to the end plates is defined for the insulating layer. Intermediate spaces are arranged on the insulating body plane between the insulating bodies. A total insulating layer area includes at least surface insulating body portions and surface intermediate space portions. In each section through the insulating bodies parallel to the insulating body plane, an insulating body surface portion in the total insulating layer area is at least 50%, the insulating bodies are symmetrically formed, with the top side equal to the bottom side of the insulating body and each insulating body designed as a plate having a height and a maximum width at least 2.5 times wider than the height of the insulating body; and/or the insulating bodies are anisotropically shaped.

Abstract: A binary nozzle for atomizing a mixture of agent to be sprayed and spray air is connected to at least one supply duct via which the mixture or the agent to be sprayed can be supplied to the binary nozzle, wherein a valve is arranged between this supply duct and a nozzle outlet of the binary nozzle. A corresponding spray head and also a method for atomizing a mixture of agent to be sprayed and spray air uses a binary nozzle. The binary nozzle includes a nozzle body formed in a single piece and including the nozzle outlet, wherein a movable assembly of the valve is fastened to the nozzle body by a fastening element and/or held tight against the nozzle body by a spring device.
