The invention relates to a method for machining a sheet-metal profile 1, wherein the sheet-metal profile 1 is trimmed in a multi-stage cutting process and a cutting edge 2 is produced. Here, pre-cutting is firstly performed on the sheet-metal profile 1, whereby a free space 3 is generated. Stamping of the sheet-metal profile 1 is subsequently performed, wherein the thickness d of the sheet-metal profile 1 along the cutting edge 2 to be produced is reduced. Subsequently, the cutting finishing of the sheet-metal profile 1 is performed, wherein, in particular, cutting is performed in the opposite direction to the stamping of the outline of the finished contour, and the cutting edge 2 is generated.

The invention relates to a device for welding rod-shaped conductors (14), comprising a compression chamber for receiving joining sections (13) of the conductors to be joined together, the compression chamber being limited in a first axial direction (z-axis) on two opposite sides by an active surface of a sonotrode (16) transmitting ultrasonic vibrations in the direction of the z-axis and by a counter surface of a counter electrode (18), the device having a knife device which is provided with a drive device and comprises a knife (24) movable in the direction of the z-axis, said knife having a cutting edge which can be moved past the compression chamber, wherein a drive motor of the drive device is arranged in an installation space arranged below the sonotrode, the drive motor being connected to a knife holder (26) via a deflection gear (31) in order for the knife to be able to perform a cutting motion, the knife being moveable in the direction of the z-axis.

A cutting method using a stamping press according to the present disclosure is a method to cut a workpiece that is configured from a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet joined at a weld portion and that has a heat-affected zone around the weld portion, in which the workpiece is cut using a punch. The punch includes a flat portion and a projecting portion projected more toward the workpiece than a flat portion of the punch. The workpiece is positioned with respect to the punch at a position such that the projecting portion starts cutting at least at one out of the heat-affected zone or the weld portion before the flat portion cuts the workpiece. The workpiece is then cut by moving the punch and a die relative to each other in this state of positioning so as to shear across the weld portion on the workpiece.

A fin manufacturing apparatus includes an inter-row slit processing device having upper and lower blades with blade edges extending in a feed direction of a thin metal plate that serves as a material of a fin. The upper and lower blades are engaged with each other to form a perforated slit between rows on the fin. Each blade has a recess where the blade edge is partially recessed toward a ridge. Recess depth dimensions are smaller than a lapping amount of the blades when the blades are engaged with each other. At least one of the blades is slidable in a longitudinal direction of the blade edge to allow the recesses to be moved from overlapping positions to adjacent positions as viewed along a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the blade edges when the blades are engaged with each other over the lapping amount.
