A bodymaker includes a totaling crankshaft including an offset crank, the adjustable eccentric assembly including an eccentric shell assembly. The eccentric shell assembly is operatively coupled to the crankshaft crank. A primary connection rod is operatively coupled to the eccentric shell assembly. A ram assembly is operatively coupled to the primary connection rod. The ram assembly includes an elongated ram. In this configuration, the ram reciprocates over a stroke that is a function of the orientation of the eccentric shell assembly. Further, in an exemplary embodiment, the ram assembly is structured to adjust the range of the ram body stroke through a die pack without substantially decoupling a number of substantial components.

A press system includes a detection unit configured to detect occurrence of an abnormality during press working for a workpiece, and an abnormality determination unit configured to determine an abnormality level, based on the abnormality detected by the detection unit and a stoppage period for which a pressing operation is stopped after occurrence of the abnormality.

In a method of pressing and processing meat products, in particular frozen and/or partly frozen meat products, preferably fresh meat products and/or bacon, the products are inserted into a pressing chamber of a pressing device and are pressed in the pressing chamber by at least one displaceable contact element, with the contact element being moved by means of a servomotor.

An electromechanical press includes: a work table defining an upper horizontal working plane P1 on which samples are arranged; a device for forming workpieces including a forming tool arranged to be movable in translation in a vertical plane P2 perpendicular and secant to P1; and an electromechanical actuating device actuating the forming device, supported on a frame fixed relative to P1, the electromechanical actuating device in kinematic connection with the forming device. The electromechanical actuating device includes at least one Torque-type electric motor with an eccentric axis in kinematic connection with the forming device, the electromechanical actuating device supported on the frame in a position intersecting P2 of movement of the forming device and located between a base of the frame on the floor and the work table under P1, the forming tool held in any position in or above P1, the work table being integral with the frame.

A system for transforming rotating motion into linear motion may include an output gear and an output link coupled to the output gear. A shared link may be coupled to the output link and coupled to a rod. An arm may be coupled to the shared link and to a rotating drive. An idle gear may be coupled to the output gear and to a stationary gear. Once rotation has started with the rotating drive, the output gear and idle gear may rotate around the stationary gear while the output link pivots and translates through space with the output gear. The shared link may drive the rod in a linear direction while receiving stabilizing supporting forces from the output link. The intermediate link may be coupled to the output link with a pin. The pin may also couple the intermediate link to the arm.

There is provided a press device including a reference operation setting unit that sets a reference transport motion of a transport device which corresponds to a predetermined reference press motion of the slide, a timing setting unit that sets a synchronous timing of the reference transport motion for the reference press motion, a press operation setting unit that sets a press motion of an actual operation by extending a time of a part of the reference press motion, and a transport operation setting unit that sets a transport motion of the actual operation which corresponds to the press motion by matching synchronous timings with each other between the press motion and the reference transport motion for the reference press motion, and by setting an operation pattern from the synchronous timing to be the same as that of the reference transport motion.

A dynamic balance device for a press machine includes a plurality of cam portions which transmit a vertical motion of a slide to a balance weight to move the balance weight in a reverse direction of the vertical motion of the slide. The cam portions are each movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide, and each include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on a member which is provided integrally with the slide and vertically moves with the slide. The second inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on the balance weight.

A bending machine including a rack, the rack is provided with a feeding mechanism, one side of the feeding mechanism is provided with a pressing mechanism capable of pressing a workpiece firmly, and one side of the pressing mechanism is provided with a bending mechanism capable of bending the workpiece inside the bending mechanism. The bending machine is simple in structure, high in production and capable of reducing labor cost.

A press machine includes a display unit which displays a first image in a circular shape corresponding to a rotation of an eccentric mechanism and representing one stroke of slide operation and a second image in a circular-arc shape corresponding to an operation of an attachment device interlocked with the press machine, and an operation unit which receives an input operation. The first image indicates at least one slide operation region. The second image is placed concentrically with the first image in relation to the slide operation region. The second image has opposed ends each allowed to move in response to the input operation in a direction in which the second image extends.

A drive unit drives a slide which vertically reciprocates for pressing the workpiece. A detection unit detects positional information about the slide. A speed control unit controls the speed of the slide by the drive unit, based on motion information defining operation of the slide. A stoppage determination calculation unit sets a deceleration start point at which deceleration of the slide is to be started, based on the motion information and a set point at which the slide is to be forced to stop. A speed control unit determines whether an abnormality signal regarding transportation of the workpiece is input, when the slide reaches the deceleration start point based on the positional information about the slide detected by the detection unit. The speed control unit performs deceleration control for the slide so that the slide is stopped at the set point, when determining that the abnormality signal is input.
