  • Patent number: 9421693
    Abstract: A method for shortening the processing time on creating shaped label stacks. Between a strip pack cross-cutter and a die-cutting device in the region of a conveying section, the strip packs cut by way of the strip pack cross-cutter into stack packs are transferred and then die-cut in the die-cutting device into shaped label stacks. Two or more stack packs are layered on one another in the region of the conveying section and the layered stack packs are die-cut into shaped label stacks, for increasing the die-cutting output. The layered, die-cut stacks can then be divided again into shaped label stacks that can be managed and banded.

  • Patent number: 7861798
    Abstract: A hammer device in the form of a needle gun. The gun includes a cylinder housing containing a cylinder, in which a flying piston is displaced and an anvil, against which the piston strikes. A needle carrier is located on the anvil, and the needles of the gun are held in the carrier so that the needles can be longitudinally displaced. To reduce the wear on the needle carrier and to preserve the needle heads of the needles, the needle carrier is configured from several layers, at least in the vicinity of the guide plate. The layers are of alternating hard and soft material.

  • Patent number: 7634859
    Abstract: A press device to be modified such that profile rods can also be removed by a shearing movement. The tool is configured so that a cutting plate can be fixed to each pivoting arm and is displaceably mounted in the opposite pivoting arm. The clamping arms of the pivoting arms have a fork-shaped slit and the cutting plates are maintained in the clamping arms with fixing bolts.

  • Publication number: 20070271992
    Abstract: For handling reasons, this invention makes it possible to construct electrically operated pressing tools as compact as possible. The pressing tool includes a hydraulic pump that acts upon a piston-cylinder unit by which locking pliers can be actuated by a roll holder with rolls. During actuation, hydraulic oil is conveyed out of an elastic hydraulic oil reservoir and into the cylinder chamber and, from there, flows back again after a pressure build-up. To save space, according to this invention the hydraulic oil reservoir is formed as a sleeve that sealingly acts as a cylinder housing of the piston-cylinder unit. An actuating valve in the piston-cylinder unit can be actuated while passing through the sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20070251070
    Abstract: The pressing tool comprises a drive unit (70), a piston cylinder unit (5) with a fork-like receiver (55) and the actual clamping pincer (60). The clamping pincer (60) comprises a T-shaped mounting which is connected to a retaining bolt (54) and a retaining bolt receiver (61) with the fork-like receiver (55). A roller holder unit with a roller holder and two rollers (2) are located in the fork-like receiver (55). The fork-like receiver (55) is part of the piston cylinder unit (5). On actuation of the pressing tool, the piston-cylinder unit (5) is pulled back and by way of this the roller holder with the rollers is moved forwards relative to this towards the clamping pincer (60). The rollers (2) at the same time roll on the clamping jaws (62). The clamping is accomplished. At the same time the clamping pincer (60) is pressed together in that the clamping jaws (62) are pressed apart at the rear by the rollers (2).

  • Publication number: 20070033813
    Abstract: It is suggested to modify a pressing apparatus such that profile rods may also be cut off by way of a shear movement. For this, the tool (10) is designed such that in each case one shear plate (20, 21) may be fastened on each pivot arm (11) and is displaceably mounted in the opposite pivot arm.

  • Patent number: 7036806
    Abstract: An electrically driven press tool that is compact, reliable and cost-effective. There is a press tool in which a crimping tool is retained in a recess by a bolt. An electromotor drives a spindle, which interacts with the crimping tool, by a reducing gear. The spindle is connected to a shaft by a pressure flange. The bearing pressure, which acts on the spindle, is brought to bear on a pressure ring by a pressure flange and a pressure bearing, the ring acting directly or indirectly on a force or pressure sensor. When a predetermine set value of the crimping is reached, the sensor forwards a switching signal to the controller of the drive motor.

  • Patent number: 6848749
    Abstract: It is suggested to machine contaminated surfaces, in particular radioactively contaminated concrete surfaces and masonry with pneumatically actuated striking tools. It has been shown that this is an extremely low-dust machining method with which the essentially the particles are struck off in the size order of 0.2 to 2.0 mm. The method may be realized with a device (1) with which in a housing (2) several chambers are arranged over one another. Most preferred at the top a pressurized air feed chamber (10) is fed via a pressurized air connection (3). Therebelow there is located a pressurized air suction chamber (12) which comprises a suction connection (4). At the bottom there is arranged a collecting chamber in which chisel-like hammer bolts (51) are effective. The hammer bolts which are part of the striking tools (5) project out of the housing (2).

  • Patent number: 6662621
    Abstract: A pressing tool apparatus with a clamping pincer and a sensory mechanism that permits a measurement of a displacement which the piston covers with the closure procedure of the clamping pincer. With the first closure of the clamping pincer, without a pressing, there results a nominal displacement value which is realized by a displacement sensor and a ring magnet. Electronics in the housing store a measured nominal value and compares it to subsequent closure procedures with a pressing, accounting for programmable tolerance values. Pressings within a permitted range or outside the range are suitably displayed.

  • Patent number: 6510723
    Abstract: A pressing tool having an electric motor fed by a battery. The electric motor drives a gear pump with two rotor shafts which are accommodated in a hydraulic block. The rotor shafts are mounted in a gear housing on one side of the hydraulic block and in a cylinder housing of a piston cylinder unit which bears on an other side of the hydraulic block. This gear pump uses an extremely simple construction manner and simultaneously achieves a high delivery volume. The high delivery volume leads to an extremely low loading of the battery, by which its operational duration is increased.

  • Patent number: 6434998
    Abstract: A pressing apparatus with an associated, exchangeable pressing tool. The pressing apparatus has a drive unit and a connection unit for connection to a pressing pincer. The connection unit has two holding plates. The pressing pincer with its two T-shaped carrier plates is inserted between the holding plates. A connection bolt is pushed through the holding plates and a receiving opening on the T-shaped carrier plates and is secured. The pressing apparatus is thus ready for use. The pressing pincer with an actuation bears with its two pivot arms on bearing surfaces on the apparatus. With a further retraction of the pressing pincer the pivot arms are pushed out laterally and thus the pressing is undergone.
