A method for forming a stamped component from a blank material with an industrial stamping machine during a stamping process includes measuring a plurality of parameters of the stamping process. The parameters are provided as variables of the stamping process. The method further includes analyzing, by a stamping process model, the plurality of parameters to adjust the stamping process for the blank material, defining, by the stamping process model, a control parameter of the industrial stamping machine for the blank material, and stamping the blank material with the industrial stamping machine based on the defined control parameter to form the stamped component.

A shear press for scrap including a machine body defining a compaction channel to contain the scrap and guide it in a sliding manner along a predetermined advance direction a compaction unit and blades. The compaction unit includes two mutually opposed jaws articulated to the machine bod according to axes of rotation parallel to each other and orthogonal to the advance direction of the scrap, and actuating members to rotate the jaws around the respective axes of rotation, in opposite directions, between an open configuration and a closed configuration. Each aw includes an operating surface to laterally de-limit the compaction channel when the jaw is in open configuration. The extreme point of a first rectilinear stretch with respect to the axis of rotation of the jaw is aligned to the latter along a direction of alignment which forms, with the first rectilinear stretch, an angle having its vertex facing the inner part of the compaction channel.

Tooling and corresponding tool assembly configurations equipped with exemplary designs of tracking assemblies configured to track information, such as use history, and perform a variety of processing and storage functions relative to the same for more efficient use and maintenance of the tooling over their lifetimes. The tracking assemblies can have retrofit-ready constructions.

A method for tracking product in an installation in which powdered product is processed into manufactured items is provided. The method comprises introducing the powdered product into the installation through at least one inlet, obtaining measurement data for the powdered product from at least one mass sensor positioned in the at least one inlet, and dividing the measurement data into mass units of equal size. The progression of the mass units is then tracked through the installation using measurement data from at least one other mass sensor in the installation.

An efficient method and apparatus for making a compressed structural fiberboard from agricultural fibrous matter. The method and apparatus provides a conveyor having variable drives for carrying the agricultural fibrous matter; a hopper having variable drives for conditioning and delivering the agricultural fibrous matter to an extruder; the extruder having a cyclic ram with linear actuators and a floating plate to drive the cyclic ram between an extended position, wherein the agricultural fibrous matter is compacted into the compressed structural fiberboard, and a retracted position, wherein the agricultural fibrous matter is delivered to the extruder; synthetic oil heaters for heating the compressed structural fiberboard; a heat sink track cooler for cooling the compressed structural fiberboard; and a water jet cutting system for cutting the compressed structural fiberboard into individual boards.

A press device includes a slide configured to hold a first die, a holding portion configured to hold a second die, a reciprocating mechanism that causes the slide to reciprocate in a stroke direction in which the first die and the second die move closer to or away from each other, and a pressurizing mechanism that holds the second die while pressurizing the second die toward the first die with a stroke shorter than that of the reciprocating mechanism in a state where the first die and the second die are moved close to each other by the reciprocating mechanism.

The present invention relates to a drive device for driving an apparatus (100) for notching, wherein the apparatus (100) for notching comprises a frame with a stand (104) and a headpiece (106), a plunger (114) coupled to the headpiece (106) and movable along a punching axis (116) oriented along a y axis, and optionally an indexing head (120) for receiving a workpiece (102) to be machined. The drive device comprises an electrical direct drive (118) for driving the plunger (114).

A forming and/or separating device 10 as well as a method for operating the same and particularly a method for checking of an undisturbed operation of the forming and/or separating device 10. The forming and/or separating device 10 is configured to process an initial workpiece 12 in a working area 19 between two tool parts 14, 15 in a chipless forming manner. An image-capturing sensor 20 captures the working area 19 and can capture at least one captured image B during the operation of the forming and/or separating device 10. An evaluation unit 24 compares the at least one captured image B with at least one reference image R or a reference model, if the forming and/or separating device 10 is in a defined operating condition. Based on the comparison it is checked whether a disturbance exists.
