There is provided an arrangement and method for handling a load for isostatic pressure treatment in a high-pressure arrangement. The arrangement comprises a transportation unit arranged in a first space, wherein the transportation unit is configured for horizontal transportation of a pressure vessel comprising the load into the high-pressure arrangement before pressure treatment of the load, and out of the high-pressure arrangement after pressure treatment of the load, respectively. The arrangement further comprises an elevator unit vertically operable between the first space and a second space provided below the first space, wherein the elevator unit is configured to lift the load from the second space into the pressure vessel before pressure treatment of the load, and to lower the load from the pressure vessel to the second space after pressure treatment of the load, respectively.

The invention relates to a tool changing device (1) for a forming press (2), in particular a press brake, comprising at least one tool magazine (3, 4) and at least one transfer device (5, 6) for the transfer of the forming tools (7, 8) of the at least one tool magazine (3, 4), which are storable in the at least one tool magazine (3, 4), from the at least one tool magazine (3, 4) to the forming press (2) and in the reverse direction, wherein the at least one transfer device (5, 6) has a drivable thrust chain (9, 10) for the transmission of compressive and tensile forces.

A press device includes a first metal mold, a second metal mold, the first and second metal molds being configured to sandwich a work therebetween and thereby process the work, and a plurality of drives disposed to connect the first metal mold with the second metal mold, the plurality of drives being configured to change a distance between the first and second metal molds, in which each of the first and second metal molds includes a connection part for connecting with the drives, and at least one of the first and second metal molds includes a reinforcement part.

In a tool storing device handling a tool mounting stocker in which a punch and a die of a press brake are mounted in one stocker with rear surfaces facing each other, each of the stockers is supported on both sides by endless belts having one driving shaft, and the endless belts are circulated so that each of the supported stockers does not protrude to a worker side, whereby a position of a path line of the appropriate one of the stockers can be freely positioned at a position of the path line PL of a tool holder on the press brake side. This enables rapid and easy tool replacement by a bending robot by storing not only the tool made of the punch and the die but also the hand for the robot together.

The press device includes a press device body and moving bolsters. The press device body has a slide and a slide servomotor. The slide has upper dies attached thereto. The slide servomotor moves the slide up and down. The moving bolsters are able to move between a pressing position, which is a position on the inside of the press device body, and a die replacement position, which is a position on the outside of the press device body, and have lower dies disposed thereon. The moving bolsters have an electrical storage component, a travel motor, and wheels. The electrical storage component stores regenerative electrical power generated by the slide servomotor in the pressing position. Electrical power is supplied from the electrical storage component to the travel motor. The wheels are driven by the travel motor.

A full-automatic wireless die change cart and system for a press. The full-automatic wireless die change cart includes an upper working table and a lower working table which are connected together up and down of driving devices. The lower working table is driven by a driving device I to move back and forth, while the upper working table is driven by a driving device II to move rightwards or leftwards. Baffles, die lifting arms, and guide rails, all in parallel to one another, are disposed in order from outside to inside at two opposite ends of the upper working table, and push-and-pull devices, baffles, and fixed supporting plate assemblies are disposed in order from outside to inside at the other two ends perpendicular to the two ends.

An apparatus for removing and replacing a die in a press with an overhead crane movable in a first direction. A hoist assembly is mounted on the crane to be movable perpendicular to the first direction. A drum is rotated about an axis of rotation parallel to the first direction. A press includes a die that is movable into and out of the press reciprocally and perpendicular to the first direction. A method for setting a die in a press includes the steps of positioning an overhead crane to be centered relative to a front opening in a press. Pulling the die with a sling attached to a wire rope wound on the drum. The wire rope pulls the die in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drum.

A rotary tablet press comprises a support assembly. In the rotary tablet press having a turret, the support assembly comprises a suspension device positioned above a top punch guide of the turret, as seen in the axial direction. The suspension device comprises a carrier plate and at least one connection element connecting the carrier plate to at least one non-rotating part of the turret. The support assembly is used for suspending a number of auxiliary components from the carrier plate. An enclosure may be connected to the suspension device to surround one or more of the elements of the turret.

A sheet material bending system includes a tool changing apparatus that changes tools between a press brake and a tool stocker. The tool stocker is arranged behind the press brake. To change tools from the front and rear of the tool stocker, the front and rear of the tool stocker are opened. The tool changing apparatus has a pivot that is movable in front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions and is rotatable around an axis extending in the up-down direction. A front end of the pivot is provided with tool holding units to hold tools.

A press machine includes a drive mechanism that moves at least one of an upper tool and a lower tool and machines a workpiece placed between the upper and lower tools. The drive mechanism includes a first drive source that rotates a screw shaft serving as an advance-retract component and a second drive source that rotates a nut connected to the screw shaft. A structure including the upper tool and lower tools includes a casing supporting the screw shaft such that the screw shaft is rotatable, a movable member that is movably formed in the casing and can contact an end of the screw shaft or retract therefrom, and a drive unit that moves the movable member.
