  • Publication number: 20240424554
    Abstract: The invention relates to a powder press for pressing a powder-pressed part, comprising at least one first punch, which, in a pressing position, is arranged to be immersible from a first side into a cavity of a die filled with ceramic or metal powder, as well as a centre pin with an external thread for forming an internal thread in the powder-pressed part, wherein during the pressing the centre pin is arranged in the cavity and, for demoulding of the pressed part, is moved translationally via a translatory drive and is rotated about its longitudinal axis via a rotary drive such that the centre pin is moved out of the formed internal thread of the pressed part.

  • Patent number: 9272443
    Abstract: The invention relates, in particular, to a ceramic-powder and/or metal-powder press tool, comprising at least one base body (21), a plurality of at least two punches (22-25) which, in a press position, are arranged to be insertable from one side into a die cavity (3) of a die (2) filled with ceramic and/or metal powder (P), a plurality of at least two punch carriers (26-29) each for the attachment of one of the punches, wherein at least part of the die carriers (28; 29) is couplable to at least two adjustment drives (39-42) and wherein the punch carriers are arranged to be adjustable relative to each other and relative to the base body, and positive-stop devices (48°, 49, 50) arranged to divert at least part of a pressing force (Fp) from the punches via the base body in a press end position, wherein at least one of the punch carriers is coupled to or mounted on at least two coupling rods (30-33) and each of the coupling rods is couplable to or mountable on its own such adjustment drive.

  • Patent number: 7229263
    Abstract: The present teachings describe various aspects of a pressing device for manufacturing of shaped compacts from pulverized or granulated material. In one aspect, the pressing device includes a frame structure, which, via a lower connection device adapter-like, can be connected to a lower press frame means of a press and a die holding plate arranged in the frame structure. Moreover, the pressing device may further include a base body arranged within the frame structure, the die holding plate, and the base body being arranged in the frame structure relatively movable one to each other, a plurality of punch carriers, at least one part of them being mounted on the frame structure being movable in press direction relatively to the die holding plate and relatively to the base body, and supporting devices which support the punch carriers relative to the base body in the final press position.
