  • Patent number: 11931790
    Abstract: A rectangular tubing, rectangular hole punching device includes a two-sided die carried by a mandrel upon which a rectangular tubing workpiece is sleeved. The two-sided die makes possible a punched rectangular hole having a width extending substantially from one interior lateral side wall of the workpiece adjacent the side of the workpiece being punched to the opposing interior side wall of the workpiece adjacent the side of the workpiece being punched, and includes a pair of tool steel die pieces that are longitudinally spaced from each other. The portions of lateral side walls corresponding to the position of the two sided die within the workpiece are supported against deformation from punching by applying a high compressive force to the portions of the laterally spaced side walls of the workpiece that are in correspondence with the position of the two-sided die, during the punching operation.

  • Patent number: 8997613
    Abstract: With known trimming shears having a pair of scrap-cutting blades on the discharge side, the moving upper scrap-cutting blade must be moved as closely as possible past the trimmed plate edge in order to push the cutoff edge still hanging on the plate downward against the lower fixed scrap-cutting blade, which requires precise adjustment of the upper scrap-cutting blade. To that end, according to the invention, the distance between the upper scrap-cutting blade (2) or the lower scrap-cutting blade (3) and the trimming blade plane (5) is set prior to trimming in accordance with the thickness of each heavy plate (10) to be trimmed by displacement of the upper scrap-cutting blade (2) and/or the lower scrap-cutting blade (3) in a displacement direction with at least one component transverse to the trimming blade plane (5).

  • Patent number: 8312801
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to adjust the lateral clearance between upper and lower blades of shearing machines are described. An example apparatus includes a first blade opposite a second blade and movably coupled to a frame of the shear press via a ram, wherein the first and second blades are to receive a strip material. A lateral clearance adjustor slidably coupled to the ram shifts the first blade laterally relative to the second blade. A sensor determines a clearance position and a first drive member moves the lateral clearance adjustor from an initial position to the clearance position. A second drive member operatively coupled to the ram drives the first blade toward the second blade to shear the strip material.

  • Publication number: 20120167740
    Abstract: An improved shear cutting blade comprising a plurality of opposing countersunk fastener holes and four cutting edges is disclosed. Four cutting edges and two mounting surfaces are provided, along with threaded, countersunk holes to allow fasteners to secure the blade in multiple orientations. The blade is ideally utilized in a compacting and baling process, wherein loose scrap metal and other material are pressed from a collection point and into a compaction chamber, wherein the blade is passed over the material as it is pressed into the chamber, shearing the debris into a compact, baled form. The blade can be rotated and secured against either mounting surface, and rotated to allow use of any of its four cutting edges, providing reusability and improved service life of a single blade during operation.

  • Publication number: 20120131977
    Abstract: A forming machine comprises a shearing device for shearing off a section of a bar stock, a forming station for forming the sheared off bar stock section and a transport device for the bar stock. The shearing device has two shearing blades, of which one is movable transverse to the longitudinal extension of the bar stock. The shearing blades each have an assembly block and a shearing insert attached to this. For one of the shearing blades, the shearing insert is made of a heat-resistant, break-proof and thermal shock-resistant hard material and essentially has the form of a cylindrical half-shell. This shearing insert is arranged in a reception recess of the assembly block, which is adapted in shape, and is releasably clamped to the assembly block by means of screwed clamping blocks.

    Abstract: An alloy, such as a tool steel containing, in percent by weight, 0.5%-0.7% carbon; 1.80%-2.50% chromium; 0.90%-1.20% molybdenum; 3.50%-5.50% nickel and 0.60%-1.50% vanadium. The steel alloyed accordingly is eminently suitable for heat treatments for influencing strength. With a carbon content of less than 0.7%, a partially martensitic metal structure having a high ductility can be formed by way of hardening processes. Due to surface hardening, the carbon content may in some portions on the outer surface be greater than 0.7%.

  • Publication number: 20110226111
    Abstract: A VCT tile cutter comprises a movable top blade and a fixed bottom blade capable of shearing a VCT tile. The cutter includes a blade carrier in which the top blade can be slid horizontally in relation to the fixed position of the bottom blade beneath it. In this way, an outer edge of the top blade can be slid horizontally and positioned over a point in a tile that corresponds to the end point of a desired partial cut in the tile. When a crankshaft mechanism is activated, the blade creates a partial cut in the tile from the perimeter of the tile to a point in the tile corresponding to the location of the end of the movable blade. The blade may be straight or faceted and may have partially or completely relieved edges to enhance the capability of the cutter to perform partial cuts in the tile.
