  • Patent number: 9533436
    Abstract: A press for producing a pellet from powdered material comprises a press frame and a pressing unit arranged therein, at least one upper press punch and/or at least one lower press punch, as well as at least one receptacle for powdered material. At least one upper drive unit has at least one upper drive motor for moving the upper press punch and/or at least one lower drive unit having at least one lower drive motor for moving the lower press punch and/or the receptacle. The at least one upper drive unit acts laterally offset on the at least one upper press punch via an upper force transmission element and/or the at least one lower drive unit acts laterally offset on the at least one lower press punch and/or the receptacle via a lower force transmission element.

  • Publication number: 20080020082
    Abstract: Press for producing pressed parts from powdered material with a die which may be clamped to a die table arranged in a press frame, in which a mould cavity is configured with a recess, and at least one upper and lower punch which cooperate with the mould cavity, the mould cavity being defined by at least one slider, transverse press punch or a movable part of the die, which may be displaced transversely to the vertical axis of the upper and lower punch (main pressing axis), and adjusting drives for the upper and lower punch and the slider and/or the displaceable die part attached in the press frame, characterised in that a sensor measures actual conditions of the adjusting drive for the slider, transverse press punch or the displaceable die part, the actual conditions being compared in a control device with a desired value and the control device actuating the adjusting drive for a slider, the transverse press punch or the displaceable die part via the energy supply to the adjusting drive according to the diffe

  • Patent number: 6442859
    Abstract: A method for determining the position of a punch with respect to a die in a powder press with the following steps: storing a reference measure in a computer corresponding to a predetermined relatively small distance of the punch to the upper edge or lower edge of the die, storing a reference offset in the computer by counting the pulses of an incremental path sensor actuated by the punch on raising the punch from the reference measure to an index pulse, measuring the position of the punch above the reference offset using an absolute path sensor which evaluates the path of the adjusting piston for the punch and whose readings are inputted into the computer, and inputting the pulses of the incremental path sensor into the computer as soon as the actual position of the punch is equal or smaller than the sum measure of the reference offset and the reference measure.

  • Patent number: 6181370
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a stamp relative to a matrix on sinter-pressing, characterized by the following method steps: the stamp and the matrix are so moved towards one another that the stamp is located in a position shortly before the immersing into the bore of the matrix; the region of the stamp is illuminated; on the side distant to the stamp there is positioned an optical recorder which acquires the matrix bore; the picture recorded by the recorder is imaged on a monitor; in accordance with the imaging on the monitor the stamp relative to the matrix is so adjusted transversely to its axis that a uniform gap between the stamp and the matrix bore over the circumference is obtained; and subsequently the stamp is finally fixed in its receiver.
