  • Patent number: 7815830
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for extruding curved extruded profiles. The extruded profile is formed in a matrix mounted upstream in a counter beam of an extruder system and is subsequently curved or bent due to the effect of external forces and separated, supported and arranged into partial lengths in the extrusion flow by means of a separating robot connected to a higher control mechanism and is discharged to a storage area with the aid of a handling robot. The handling robot is coupled to the separating robot by means of the control mechanism and, like the separating robot, is moved into a starting position in front of the extrusion press.

  • 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.
