  • Patent number: 7448245
    Abstract: Disclosed is an extruding press (1) for billets and tubes, comprising a press frame (2) which is composed of a cylinder-type bar (3) and an opposite bar (6) that is connected thereto. A movable running bar (6) and a movable receiving device (7) are disposed within said press frame (2), the receiving device (7) displacing a block (9) that is introduced with the aid of a charging apparatus and is to be pressed in front of the opposite bar (5) encompassing a matrix. A multifunctional robot (12) which can be moved on a linear guide (11), acts independently of the movements of the press, and is equipped with a receptacle head (13) is assigned to the press frame.

  • Patent number: 7216522
    Abstract: A metal extrusion press has a pair of fixed crossheads spaced along a press axis from each other and a plurality of elongated upper and lower members extending axially between and rigidly connected to the crossheads. Each member includes a rod axially tensioned between the crossheads and a beam axially compressed between the crossheads. A movable crosshead is between the fixed crossheads, and a container is between the movable crosshead and one of the fixed crossheads. Respective crosshead and container guide units support the movable crosshead and container on the members and engage around the members. Rollers are engaged between each of the guide units and the members.

  • Publication number: 20050252267
    Abstract: The invention relates to an extruding and pipe press comprising a press frame that consists of a cylindrical spar and of a counter spar, which are joined to one another in a non-positive manner by upper and lower pretensioned drawing lamellae as well as by upper and lower pressure supports. A mobile running spar and a mobile feeder, which transfers a block to be pressed, said block being introduced by a charging device, to a pressing position in front of the counter spar with the die, are mounted inside said press frame. The running spar and the feeder can be displaced inside the press frame by means of guide units that comprise roll bodies.

  • Patent number: 6233997
    Abstract: A frame-like traveling beam carrying a hollow press ram of a metal extrusion press and in which a traverse carrying a piercing mandrel is guided, has the side walls of that traveling beam progressively reduced toward a midpoint from each end along the guide path of the traverse. Surprisingly that reduces the spread of the side walls under load and limits the degree to which the mandrel may be guided eccentrically.
