Abstract: The invention relates to a flat bed embossing machine (1) comprising a tool plate (20) with a tool side (36) for receiving at least one embossing tool and with a tool plate rear side (35) which lies opposite the tool side (36), further a base plate (10) with a tool plate side (12) which faces the tool plate rear side (35) and with a base plate rear side (11) which is lies opposite the tool plate side (12), for transmitting an embossing force which is exerted upon the tool plate (20), between the tool plate side (12) and the base plate rear side (11), as well as an induction heating appliance (3) for heating the at least one embossing tool (23).

Abstract: A foil web installation for a flat bed embossing machine with foil webs (6), which are conducted across an embossing table (3) from unwinding rolls (7) comprises a braking—and guiding wall (10) ahead of the embossing table and foil feeding devices (9) for several foil webs after the embossing table. Between the unwinding rolls (7) and the embossing table (3) at least one flat braking—and guiding wall (10) acts as a foil tensioning device. This latter element comprises a fixed supporting layer (11) as supporting surface with suction openings (14), a cloth-like contacting layer permeable to air (12) lying on top of it and a flat vacuum chamber (17) with an adjustable vacuum source (13) assigned to it, wherein foil webs (6) are pressed against the braking—and guiding wall (10) and braked as a result of this. This makes possible a foil web installation simple to adjust, easy on the foil web for achieving high embossing performances with the best quality as well as short retooling times.

Abstract: The die stamping and punching tool has a press upper part (18) and a tool plate (16) and a press lower part (13) with a stamping or pressing table (14) and counterpressure plate (15), the lower part being carried by toggle levers (11, 11') which are moved by a cam mechanism. The controlled rollable stamping or pressing table (14) with the counterpressure plate (15) and rolling profile has a device for controlling the stamping table movement comprising toggle levers (11, 11') and cam disks (12, 12') driving the same, the cam disks (12, 12') having a shape (A,B) related to the rolling profile. The stamping table can be guided by a further cam disk (29). This controllable stamping table guide preferably comprises a table guide lever (28) pivotable about a fulcrum. One end carries a slider (27) sliding in the stamping table and the other end is driven by the cam disk (29), which also has a shape (C,C') related to the rolling profile.
