Abstract: A method for examining a driver of a vehicle. In accordance with the method, at least one part of at least one eye and/or at least one part of the face of the driver is captured using a monitoring unit. The data captured by the monitoring unit is evaluated and the visual perception capability of the driver is examined based on the captured data. The method may further include identifying the driver and operating devices of the vehicle using the captured data.

Abstract: A revolving cutting press comprises at least one revolving plate having a peripheral region provided with a plurality of complete tool sets, a drive for rotating the revolving plate about an axis, at least one tool set rotatable about an axis extending substantially perpendicularly to plane of the revolving plate, the tool sets being connectable with the drive of the revolving plate.

Abstract: A sheet working machine has a working station, a tool driving system which is connectable with a tool for mechanical working of plate-shaped workpieces, a chain-like rotatable tool magazine arranged for receiving a plurality of tools, at least one tool exchange device provided for withdrawing tools from the tool magazine and inserting the same in the working station and vice versa, the working station having at least two tool receiving systems formed so that for driving a tool they are selectively connectable with the tool driving system, so that one of the tool receiving systems which is not connected with the tool driving system is bringable in connection with the at least one tool exchange device arranged near the working station for performing a tool exchange, the chain-like tool magazine being guided at least in the region of the working station at a height corresponding to that of the working station.

Abstract: A revolving cutting press comprises at least one rotatable supported revolving plate having a peripheral region provided with a plurality of tool receptacles which are formed for receiving tool sets and are spaced from one another, a working station arranged so that any of the tool sets can be transferred to the working station during rotation of the revolving plate, a plunger which can be coupled with the tool set in the working station, and a tool magazine containing at least two tool receptacles for tool sets and arranged in the peripheral region of the revolving plate so that tool magazine is supported on the revolving plate and movable relative to the revolving plate, and any of the tool sets which are held in the tool magazine can be transferred to the working station and coupled with the plunger.

Abstract: A cutting press for working plate-shaped workpieces comprises at least one working station in which a workpiece having a working place is supported and in which a part of the workpiece is to be cut out, a device for cutting out the part of the workpiece, and a device for releasing the cutout part of the workpiece from the plane of the workpiece for removing the cutout part from the working station, the releasing device including substantially a structural element which is movable in a working region of the working station in a motorized manner and shaped to release the cutout part from the workpiece.

Abstract: A machine for working workpieces with a round outer contour by cutting has a coordinate table arranged to displace a workpiece in x-direction and y-direction and having a clamping guide extending in x-direction, a cutting device acting substantially in z-direction, and moving in a predetermined movement region, and clamping arrangement arranged to releasably hold the workpiece on the coordinate table and including a central clamping device arranged on the clamping guide, aligned with the axis of symmetry extending through the center axis of the workpiece, and having clamping elements mounted displaceable in the direction of the axis of symmetry, also including two lateral clamping devices displaceably arranged on the clamping guide, located at opposite sides of the central clamping device, and each having clamping elements which are mounted pivotally about at least one pivot axis extending substantially normal to the workpiece plane and parallel to the z-axis so that the clamping elements can move from a rele

Abstract: An arrangement in a revolving press for withdrawing or inserting a tool holder carrying a punch from and into an opening in a turntable of the press when the tool holder turns with the turntable to an exchange position. The tool holder is in the exchange position temporarily held by a slide engaging a tool holder head projecting upwardly from the tool holder. A guide member substantially aligned with the axis of the tool holder in the exchange position carries at its lower end a gripping claw in such a manner that when the guide member is lowered while the slide is withdrawn, the claw will engage the tool holder head. Thereafter the guide member is raised, moving the tool holder out of the opening in the turntable and finally the tool holder is manually removed from the guide member so that a new punch can be mounted thereon, whereafter the tool holder is moved in reverse direction back into the opening of the turntable.

Abstract: A stripper arrangement for a tool includes a stripper, a stripper shoe mounted on a lower side of a tool holder of a tool and having an opening for receiving the stripper so that the latter can be inserted into the opening by movement in a plane transverse to the axis of the tool, a retaining member displaceable between an operative position in which it engages and retains the stripper and an inoperative position in which it does not engage the stripper, and a spring urging the retaining member to the operative position. An auxiliary tool for replacing the stripper has an abutment face arranged to abut against a lower side of the stripper, and a projection extending toward the stripper and arranged to displace the retaining member to its inoperative position so as to disengage the retaining member from the stripper. The auxiliary tool may also clamp the stripper for removal or insertion of the latter.
