Abstract: A device for continuous production of foil expanded metal comprising a cutting unit for continuous production of parallel, staggered longitudinal cuts in the foil, and an expansion unit for expanding the foil with the cuts perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the foil, the expansion unit provided with toothed belts which grasp both edges of the foil, in addition to a running body which is arranged therebetween to expand the foil running thereon. The configuration of the device is such that a toothed belt and a toothed wheel interacting therewith at a given angle are assigned to each foil edge, the edge of the foil is grasped between the toothed belt and the toothed wheel within an input and an output point. The toothed wheels are inclined in relation to each other so that their distance perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the foil increases at the contact angle in the longitudinal direction of the foil.

Abstract: A machine and method for adjustment of the tooling of a forming machine while continuously operating such machine. The adjusting device being located in a movable or stationary machine part, such as the upper tool part. A measuring device for measuring the cutting and forming result, the measuring signals of which are used to set an actuator which actuates the adjusting device is included. The adjusting device can be actuated by a servo-motor fixed with respect to a stationary machine part. The output shaft of the servo-motor can be coupled with the adjusting device via a transmission arranged on the movable machine part, the driving-sided part of the transmission being arranged on the output shaft of the servo-motor to be slidably displaceable in the direction of movement of the movable machine part and rotatable with the motor output shaft.
