Abstract: A method serves to actively perform vibration damping of driven elements of workpiece transport devices in and on shaping machines, especially presses and punches. A measured state value of the driven element or one reconstructed by an observer is determined. The state value is then entered into a damping regulator which affects the drive of the driven elements. A damping regulating circuit is provided in addition to a position regulating circuit.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement are used for transmitting data, signals and/or energy from stationary parts in or on metal-forming machines, particularly presses and/or stamping machines, or the environment to at least one sliding table and/or the transfer system of the metal-forming machine. For this purpose, a stationary device is provided as well as a movable device which complements the stationary device. The stationary device comprises at least one transmitter, a first coupler, a coupling loop, and a first antenna. The movable device, in each case, has at least one second transmitter and a second antenna. The stationary device and/or the movable device are arranged on base plates in this case.
