There is provided an arrangement and a method for handling a load for isostatic pressure treatment in a high-pressure arrangement. The arrangement includes a transportation unit including at least one track for transporting the load into a treatment position for isostatic pressure treatment of the load from a working space outside the high-pressure arrangement. Furthermore, the transportation unit is further arranged for transporting the load from the treatment position to the working space after pressure treatment of the load. The arrangement further includes a partition plane arranged at least partially above the high-pressure arrangement, wherein the working space is provided above the partition plane. The partition plane is arranged to shield the working space from the high-pressure arrangement in the event of a gas leakage of the high-pressure arrangement.

A method for operating a plant to produce tablets that has at least one rotary press and one computer system, wherein the computer system contains operating and control software for controlling and monitoring the operation of the rotary press, and wherein the rotary press is designed for installing different types of rotors, wherein a record adapted to the respective rotor type is saved in a memory and communication component on the rotors, and before the rotor type is initially operated, the record is read out and is saved in the computer system to automatically adapt the operating and control software and user interface to the rotor type.

A method and device for production of a combustion chamber tube for restraint systems in vehicles. The combustion chamber tube is embossed by several embossing dies arranged stellate around the combustion chamber tube and movable by an annular compression module with several punches movable in synchronized fashion in the radial direction and two inner punches extending into the ends of the combustion chamber tube, each with a support mandrel and a shaping mandrel movable relative to support mandrel. The combustion chamber tube is embossed from the outside by the embossing dies radially movable via punches against the support mandrels and the ends of the combustion chamber tube are shaped by shaping mandrels movable relative to support mandrels when the embossing dies are closed.

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.

A gathering operation includes a restraint operation of moving forward a left lower tool retention member so as to restrain a reference lower tool with the left lower tool retention member, an inserting operation of moving forward a right lower tool retention member so as to insert the right lower tool retention member into an insertion hole of a target lower tool, and an execution operation of moving the left and right lower tool retention members along a left-right direction so as to come close with each other. If a failure of the inserting operation is determined, a control device performs a retry operation of moving forward the right lower tool retention member again so as to insert the right lower tool retention member into the insertion hole (141) of the target lower tool after moving backward the left lower tool retention member.

An apparatus includes a fixed assembly and a reciprocating assembly. The fixed assembly includes a hopper, a first gas manifold, and a dispensing chamber, and the reciprocating assembly includes a channel assembly defining a channel conduit, a shield plate vertically aligned therewith, and a second gas manifold. The reciprocating assembly may move, in relation to the fixed assembly, to a first position to enable the channel conduit to be filled with bulk compressible material from the hopper, a second position to enable compressible material to be pushed from the channel conduit to the dispensing conduit and to be compressed in the dispensing chamber according to a first gas directed through the channel conduit by the first gas manifold, and a third position to enable the compressed material to be pushed out of the dispensing conduit according to a second gas directed through the dispensing conduit by the second gas manifold.

A progressive cold forming machine and a robot for automatically changing a cutoff cassette, tooling cassettes, a transfer slide and transfer cam. A loading area adjacent the machine and robot has provisions for supporting a tooling cassette pallet and a transfer slide and camshaft pallet and a holding area for temporarily receiving some of the componentry being exchanged.

A rotary tablet press machine has a compression turret rotating about a rotation axis and including a die table with dies, lower and upper punches associated in pairs with respective dies, a dosing station for filling dosing cavities formed by the dies closed at the bottom by the lower punches with a product, and a cam device for moving the lower punches inside the respective dies and obtaining settled filling depth. The cam device includes first and second filling cams provided respectively with first and second channels to guide follower ends of the lower punches along a filling path. The machine also has first and second adjustment elements respectively supporting the first and second filling cams. The machine further has a first driving device for moving with respect to compression turret and along a first direction simultaneously the first and second adjustment elements.

A press for producing a molded part from pourable material has an apparatus for driving a die that includes a cylinder unit having a cylinder housing and having a cylinder piston. The cylinder housing is the actuator of the cylinder unit and the cylinder piston is the stator of the cylinder unit.
