An apparatus to produce a letterbox using a strip of material includes: a bender to receive and bend the strip of material into a desired shape of a letterbox including flanges and notches, and the bender to bend at least one end of the strip of material slightly to produce a slight bent; a processor to measure a first plurality of hole positions on a first end of the strip of material and a second plurality of hole positions on flanges of the strip of material, wherein the first plurality of hole positions on the first end are measured to match a first plurality of holes on a second end of the strip of material, wherein the second plurality of hole positions on the flanges are measured to match a second plurality of holes on a base plate; and a puncher to punch the first plurality of holes on at least one of the first end and the second end of the strip of material according to the first plurality of hole positions, and the puncher to punch the second plurality of holes on the flanges according to the second plurality of hole positions.

The invention relates to a method for producing motor vehicle door locks with the locking parts: a rotary latch and a pawl. Said latch and the pawl are stamped from rolled sheet metal defining vertical or approximately vertical edges with corresponding latch surfaces on the rotary latch and the pawl, and subsequently are provided with a covering while maintaining the catch surfaces. After stamping, the locking parts are bent in the region of the main latch and/or another latch resulting in the formation a contour which is void of stamped channels, and are then inserted into the lock housing box.

A torsion shaft structure based multi-link all-electric servo synchronous bending machine, comprising a machine frame, a lower die fixedly connected to the machine frame and used for bending, a slider capable of moving up and down along the machine frame, and an upper die fixedly connected to the slider and cooperating with the lower die to perform bending, wherein the slider is left-right symmetrically connected to drive mechanisms for driving the slider to realize a transmission ratio adjustable motion.

Roll-forming machine for forming, from a flat sheet metal strip (5), a hat beam which has a profile that varies along its length. The machine comprises several consecutively arranged forming stations, each of which comprising a first pair of clamping rollers (22a, 22b) for clamping a side flange (3a) of the hat beam and a second pair of clamping rollers (23a, 23b) for clamping a central flange (2) thereof. The clamping rollers of said second pair are individually displaceable in vertical direction and horizontally in the feeding direction of the sheet metal strip. The displacement of the clamping rollers (23a, 23b) of said second pair is controlled by an electronic control device during a forming operation such that a plane that goes through the centre axes (CA3, CA4) of both these clamping rollers is maintained perpendicular to the part of the central flange (2) received in the nip (31) between these clamping rollers.

A bending machine with a bending information display apparatus has a machine frame, a longitudinally extended, fixed machine table, and a longitudinally extended press beam. The longitudinal expanse and the press beam movement direction define a working plane. An insertion plane essentially normal to the working plane is defined by an upper machine table flat side or a lower tool disposed thereon. The working plane establishes a front working and manipulation space and a closed rear machine space. A projector disposed above the insertion plane in the rear machine space has a light beam path directed away from the insertion plane. A reflector disposed in the working and manipulation space has a first reflective surface pivotable by an angle to the horizontal so that a light beam incident from the projector beam path leaves the first reflective surface as a departing light beam toward the insertion plane.

A striking mechanism device for a hand-held power tool has at least one hammer tube, in particular made of sheet metal. The hammer tube being is provided to guide a hammer and/or a drive piston. The hammer tube is seam-freely longitudinally slit over at least substantially the entire longitudinal extent of the hammer tube.
