Various embodiments for an automated pellet press for automatically producing pharmaceutical pellets are disclosed herein.

A mold and a method of manufacturing GOS ceramic scintillator by using the mold are provided. The mold comprises: a female outer sleeve having a cavity disposed inside; a plurality of female blocks disposed inside the cavity, the plurality of female blocks being put together to form a composite structure having a vertical through hole; and a male upper pressing head and a male lower pressing head, wherein each of the male upper pressing head and the male lower pressing head has a shape consistent with that of the vertical through hole. The disclosure may reduce defects of the related art in hot-pressing-sintering such as a mold has a short retirement period and a high material waste, significantly reduce the cost for production of the GOS ceramic scintillator, and significantly improve a process economy.

A metal scrap compressor obviates cut scraps accumulation potentially causing malfunction of a press cylinder device. In a metal scrap compressor, a press cylinder device includes: a pair of wall-like side blocks disposed between a cylinder flange at an end of a cylinder tube and a base on a base stand so as to form a frame structure; and a cup-shaped block member removably mounted on the base as disposed between these side blocks and containing therein a pressure forming chamber. The block member includes a charging opening for metal scraps, allows a press ram replaceably mounted to a distal end of a piston rod of the press cylinder device to be reciprocally slidably inserted therein through a ceiling thereof, and includes therein a press forming die replaceably mounted to a distal end of the press ram and reciprocally moved in the pressure forming chamber.

The invention relates to a rotary indexing press for the production of green compacts from powder substances. The rotary indexing press is provided with an indexing plate equipped with a plurality of tool cavities assigned to a plurality of tool positions, with said tool positions being at a minimum used for the filling, compacting, and ejecting of workpieces, and with at least one cavity being assigned to each tool position, and wherein the indexing plate having a form-closed and/or force-dosed connection with the body of the machine during compacting. The invention moreover relates to a method for the production of green compacts from powder materials using a rotary indexing press.

A tool holder and differing designs of movable portions that can be interchangeably mounted with the holder depending on the tang profile of the tool needing to be seated and secured to the holder.

A motion generation device generates motion of a slide in a press device configured to perform press molding by driving the slide up and down using a servo motor as a drive source. The motion generation device includes an acquisition component and a second motion generator. The acquisition component acquires data related to a change in a load exerted on the slide in press molding using a first motion. The second motion generator generates a second motion from the first motion based on the change in the load.

Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for forming pellets in a non-ambient environment such as a strong magnetic field. The apparatus includes a die body, a die bottom, a short push pin, a long push pin, a press tube, and an extended push pin. A powder is loaded into the die body, which is then positioned in the non-ambient environment, and the powder allowed to equilibrate. A pellet is then formed by pressing on the extended push pin while the powder is in the non-ambient environment.

A toolpack for a can bodymaker with a vertically oriented, reciprocating, elongated ram assembly is provided. The toolpack includes a tool pack housing assembly, a number of die spacers, a number of dies, and a compression device. The tool pack housing assembly defines a passage and includes an inner surface, an upper sidewall, a lower sidewall, a first lateral sidewall, a second lateral sidewall, a rear sidewall, and a door. The tool pack housing assembly passage extends generally vertically. Each die spacer structured to support a die and defining a central passage. Each die including a body defining a central passage. The die spacers and dies are disposed in said tool pack housing assembly. The compression device is disposed at said tool pack housing assembly lower sidewall and is structured to axially bias said number of die spacers.

A modular clamping device for a tool or a workpiece includes: a pallet having a plurality of x-y references and a plurality of z references for alignment with a chuck and a clamping unit, which is arranged in a clamped state concentrically at an outside of the chuck. In the clamped state, a tubular part is arranged concentrically between the pallet and the clamping unit, the tubular part being connected to the pallet by a first connecting mechanism and connected to the clamping unit by a second connecting mechanism.

A bending machine for bending workpieces is disclosed. The bending machine includes a lower beam and an upper beam for forming a workpiece by bending along a bending line. A tool holder for receiving bending tools is provided on the lower beam and each end of the tool holder is associated with a recessed region which is formed in the lower beam overlapping with the respective end. The lower beam includes a central element and at least one side element arranged adjacent to one another in the thickness direction of the lower beam. Recessed regions are provided in the central element and/or in the width direction adjacent to the central element. The lower beam also includes a central region in which, during a bending operation of a workpiece, a force is introduced via the tool holder both into the central element and into the at least one side element.
