Abstract: For manufacturing a straight strip lamination, a die is provided having at least a main slot punch and a part feature punch. The strip is fed into the die station with a constant slot step distance progression with the slot punch activated to create a plurality of slots. When a part feature is to be punched, the slot punch is deactivated, the part feature punch is activated, and the strip is fed with a new step distance, which is different than the slot distance.

Abstract: A machine for cutting the border of a workpiece using one or more water jet cutting tools separately carried by one or more monorail track mounted carriage assemblies is disclosed. The machine can also include an aperture forming apparatus for forming circular openings and/or elongated slots in the workpiece prior to/or simultaneously with the border trimming operation, all while the workpiece occupies a single work station in the machine. In one embodiment, the aperture forming apparatus features a cutting tool mounted on an elongate arm affixed to and extending from a plate which is fixedly oriented in a horizontal plane. While so oriented, a motor and gear assembly causes the plate to wobble in a circular pattern in the plane to, in turn, cause the tool to make a circular cut in the workpiece. In another embodiment of the apparatus, a motor rotates a cam carried on a free end of a stationary arm, the cam containing an eccentrically mounted cutting tool.

Abstract: A orientation device including two turrets, carrying a plurality of punch-die pairs, are rotatable to carry a punch-die pair to a work station and, simultaneously, another punch-die pair to a changeover station. A magazine of punch-die pairs comprises at least one pair of discs joined to each other and carrying a series of punch-die pairs. The discs are selectively rotated to take a predetermined new punch-die pair to a collection station. At least one exchange arm is rotated by a corresponding servomotor and carries at least one gripper element, axially and radially moveable with respect to the arm, independently of each other.

Abstract: An automatic food product cutting apparatus is provided that employs a continuously rotating table arranged with multiple cutter cups, each cup being aligned with a plunger that rotates with the table. The plungers are driven to force fruit through the cup and to withdraw from the cup by cam following rollers that follow a generally elliptical cam track. The cam track is concentric to but does not rotate with the table. With this arrangement, a single drive motor is used to power both the rotation of the table and the plunging force to push the food product through the cutter cups, thereby achieving smooth, continuous operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting apparatus a used in a paper blanking die for manufacturing paper box and the like and an automatic cutting system using this cutting apparatus. This cutting apparatus comprises: more than two kinds of cutters having different cutting out or cutting off patterns arranged side by side laterally against a feeding direction of the raw material; a cutter guiding section for guiding each cutter so as to be able to perpendicularly move against a plane of the cutters toward a plane of the raw material; a cutter die for supporting raw material against the pressing force of the cutter and simultaneously interacting with the cutter whereby executing the cutting work of the raw material; and a cutter for selecting such that only any one of the cutters is pressed.

Abstract: A punching device is provided which includes a plurality of punching units arranged in a side-by-side fashion on a substantially horizontal working surface. The device includes a plurality of punches and dies of different shaped, and a moving assembly, for supporting a holder frame, which moves a workpiece along both X- and Y-axes on a working table. A control unit is provided for inputting punching positions on the workpiece as well as the shape(s) of the holes to be punched, as well as for controlling operation of the moving assembly and punching units in response to inputted data, and for moving the punching positions of the workpiece below the desired punching units to perform punching operations. The punching units each comprises a substantially -shaped supporting member in which a piston is provided for moving a punch upwardly and downwardly. The punch is provided in one arm of the -shaped support member, with a corresponding die in a lower portion of the support member.

Abstract: An electric punch wherein lower blades each are formed in the bottom part of each insertion concavity into which sheets of paper being punched are inserted sideways, and a plurality of elevatable upper blades are formed, each upper blade being lowered into the corresponding lower blade by a solenoid excited in sequence.

Abstract: A numerically controlled groove-stamping machine which includes an indexing unit rotatable stepwise by means of a positioning drive about a rotational axis as a function of a stroke of a punch of the groove-stamping machine. The indexing unit is adapted to be driven, in a stepwise fashion, in two intersecting directions running at right angles to the rotational axis. A numerically controlled automatic multiple tool set is provided with the set being equipped with, for example, a stator groove and cut-off tool, a rotor groove tool, and vent hole tools. The tools of the multiple tool set, in accordance with the work steps to be executed, are adapted to be brought into engagement in an individually controllable manner.

Abstract: A punch press (20), for punching a workpiece, utilizing an elongated punch support which is formed from removable interconnected punch cartridges (92) and an elongated die support which is formed from removable interconnected die cartridges (94). A punch head (32) is supported from a frame (30) which spans the punching area. A two axis positioning system is provided for positioning the sheet metal workpiece within the punching area beneath the punch head. Punch head (32) through appropriate mechanical interposer (160) engages a punch which in conjunction with an associated die, positioned there beneath, forms a hole in the workpiece. The elongated punch sections (92) and die sections (94) can be moved out of the punch press frame, disengaged and removed or replaced. The first punch section (92) and first die section (94) engage driver sections (192, 194) which are disposed in the frame (30). The driver sections (192, 194) are then moved to bring the tool supporting sections (92, 94) into the press.

Abstract: A machine which has a plurality of reciprocating work tools which may be selectively brought into operation, comprises, a plurality of tool holders, each adapted to hold a separate tool for reciprocative movement upwardly and downwardly, or a cooperating tool, for example, a moving punch, cooperating with a die. The machine advantageously includes sets of tool holders and dies which may be moved relatively to tool holders and dies of other sets so as to shift them relative to an operating mechanism for effecting reciprocation. The tools may be selectively positioned into coupling engagement with the reciprocating means so that some of the tools are not reciprocated and may, for example, be shifted or replaced.
