A detaching method of sheets from a stack of sheets from a stack of sheets and a relative detaching apparatus is disclosed, including at least a gripping head of a handling device of sheets and a nozzle assembly apt to eject an air flow to a lateral edge of a stack of sheets, furthermore including: a storage assembly of pressurised air provided at least with a compressed-air tank equipped with a pressure multiplier and a relative first pressure adjuster; and a high-pressure pipe between the nozzle assembly and the storage assembly intercepted by a fast-opening electrovalve. The nozzle assembly is provided with a nozzle, supplied through the electrovalve, configured as a convergent/divergent spout.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a metal catalyst support including: transferring a plate member of the same size along a transfer unit; aligning the plate member so that a front portion of the plate member is located at a start point when the plate member reaches a set position; forming a corrugated plate by alternately forming a first corrugated portion and a second corrugated portion on the plate member which is aligned at the start point; and laminating the fabricated corrugated plates and the flat plates alternately in a case.

A metal-cutting machine for flat material parts comprises metal-cutting tools (21, 22, 23), held on a machine frame, and a support unit (10), on which a flat material part to be machined can be placed for a positioning in the metal-cutting machine. The support unit comprises a feed table (10), which is clamped remote from the beams and on one side about a pivot axis that is pivotable parallel to the beam orientation (39) and the free end (26) of which feed table in the parking position rests on a support surface (27) assigned to the lower beam (21), which support surface is connected via a sliding surface (28) to the top side (29) of the lower beam (21). The clamped end (36) of the feed table (10) is here movable by means of a drive (40), in the direction of extension (45), into its loading and removal position, wherein the bottom edge (25) of the feed table slides from the support surface (27) over the sliding surface (28) and beyond the top side (29) of the lower beam, and the top side (29) forms the support for the bottom side (16) of the feed table (10) in the loading and removal position for a flat material part.

A centering system comprising a conveyor for receiving a plurality of blanks outputted from a furnace and displacing the blanks along a first horizontal axis and shifting units for each individual blank including two or more adjustable lifting bars, the shifting units configured to move along a second horizontal axis, and the adjustable lifting bars being configured to lift the blanks along a vertical axis, wherein each of the shifting units is independently movable along the second axis, and a plurality of centering pins for centering the blanks, such that the blanks can be centered by moving the individual blanks along the second axis against the centering pins. Also disclosed are conveyor systems and methods for centering and conveying blanks.

A loading and unloading device for a machine, a machine for machining panel-like workpieces, and a workpiece support for such a machine and a method for loading and unloading such a machine, having a loading and unloading module, wherein the loading and unloading module has a vertically upwardly oriented raising device for lifting a cut-free workpiece part and a vertically downwardly oriented gripping device (38) for holding an unmachined, panel-like workpiece.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a transfer pressing apparatus and method for forming car body parts, and more specifically, to a transfer pressing apparatus and method capable of automatically producing car body parts using rolled coils.

A stock lifter for metal forming dies includes a self-contained assembly. The assembly includes a guide pin that reciprocates within a base. A hardened end cap, which contacts the stock, is attached to the guide pin. A spring is located on the exterior surface of a portion of the base and surrounds the guide pin body. One end of the spring contacts a surface on the cap, while the other end of the spring contacts a surface on the base or an optional mounting flange that is attached above the base. Thus, the stock lifter assembly has a hardened cap for the stock to slide on and a larger, externally mounted spring that provides longer life for the stock lifter. The stock lifter assembly can be made of several different lengths and sizes by using longer or wider guide pins and springs.

A press forming system includes a press working unit, a material supply device, a detection device, and a control device. The press working unit includes a slide that moves in accordance with an operation pattern in which the slide passes through an advance position where press forming is formed from a withdrawal position, and returns to the withdrawal position. The material supply device starts a supply operation at a synchronous timing before the slide returns from the advance position to the withdrawal position. The control device performs a control for stopping the slide before the slide reaches the withdrawal position from the advance position in a case where the suppliable state of the forming material is not detected within a predetermined determination period by the detection device.
