A cushion pin device for a press having a cushion pad in which a blank holder is seated on the top thereof outside a lower mold, and locks a blank holder to an upper mold while pressurizing an edge of a molded panel, includes: a cushion support disposed below the cushion pad, a cushion cylinder connected with a lower part of the cushion pad to move up or down the cushion pad from the cushion support, a linear scale mounted between the cushion pad and the cushion support to measure the position of the cushion pad, a main pressure control unit that keeps internal pressure of each cushion cylinder similarly, and a sub pressure control unit that is interconnected with the main pressure control unit so as to control the locking position of the cushion pad when each cushion cylinder operates.

A cushion material 10 for hot pressing includes a cushion part 1. The cushion part 1 includes a woven fabric 5, in which a twisted yarn is used for at least one of warp 5a or weft 5b, and a polymer material 6 adhered to a surface of a fiber forming the woven fabric 5. The twisted yarn used for at least one of the warp 5a or the weft 5b of the woven fabric 5 is formed by twisting a plurality of texturized yarns made of glass fiber.

A format compensator for a pressing device, comprising a compensating element (7) of a given thickness (S), structured so as to be interposed between the lower punch and the upper punch (10, 11) of a pressing device so as to be arranged in contact with the punches (10, 11) during pressing.

A press pad for a hydraulic single- or multi-stage heating press, the press pad comprising: a support fabric advantageously including metal threads; and an elastomeric material application made from a crosslinked rubber material, characterized in that the elastomeric material application is applied by a 3-D printing method to the support fabric by a printing arrangement, wherein the application is performed as a function of predetermined digitized data of a 3-D topography of the desired elastomeric material application.

A press tool for a press assembly includes an additive manufactured body including a plurality of stacked layers of additive manufacturable material extending between an interior side and an exterior side. The interior side has a part forming surface including a surface profile for forming a part. The exterior side has a plurality of hollow cores defined by longitudinal walls and lateral walls meeting at joints. Press inserts are coupled to the longitudinal walls and the lateral walls at the exterior side. The press inserts are configured to be pressed inward by a pressing load during a pressing operation for forming the part. The press inserts distribute the pressing load along the longitudinal and lateral walls.

A press pad for a hydraulic single or multi-level hot press, the press pad including a flat support structure; and a plurality of metal spring elements connected with the flat support structure and arranged distributed therein or thereon.

Discussed is a pressing apparatus for pressing a plurality of battery cells, the pressing apparatus including a pressing jig including a support plate, and a plurality of pressing rods respectively disposed on a first side of the support plate and located to respectively face the plurality of battery cells, the plurality of pressing rods being configured to respectively press the plurality of battery cells and to adjust to sonic of the plurality of battery cells that are not level during pressing; and a transfer unit disposed on a second side of the support plate and having a transfer jig configured to transfer the support plate towards the plurality of battery cells.

Membraneless laminator group (10) for making laminated panels comprising: one sealed lamination chamber (11) comprising a heated support and abutment base (12) for at least one panel; a movable cover (13) for opening and closing the chamber (11); a heated rigid plane (15) movable inside the chamber between a raised position spaced from the panel and a lowered position it presses the panel; wherein the surface of the plane (15) facing the panel is equipped with a thermal cover arranged loosely between the plane and the panel. When the plane (15) is in the raised position, the thermal cover engages the panel so as to transfer heat without acting by compression. When the plane is in the lowered position the thermal cover is in compressed configuration so that the compression is transferred against the panel and possible local thickness variations of the panel are compensated.

A single or multi-level hot press including at least one heat plate; at least one press plate; and at least one press pad arranged between the heat plate (8) and the press plate, wherein the at least one press pad a carrier material provided as a metal fabric and a pad layer made from a FKM rubber material, wherein the at least one press pad is introduced into the single or multi-level hot press in a condition where the pad layer includes a partially cross linked or a partially vulcanized FKM rubber material, and wherein a final cross linking or final vulcanization of the at least one press pad is performed in the single or multi-level hot press under pressure and temperature between the heat plate and the press plate so that the press pad is able to adapt to properties of the press arrangement.

A press pad a press pad for a hydraulic single-level or multi-level heating and cooling press for producing circuit boards, high pressure laminates or similar plate material, the press pad comprising two outer layers arranged on two opposite sides of the press pad and respectively made from a foil made from a high temperature resistant thermoplastic polymer with a very low friction coefficient; a center layer made from a flat fiber contexture and arranged between the two outer layers; and two connection layers made from a fluor elastomeric material or a fluor rubber and respectively arranged between the center layer and the two outer layers, wherein at least a major portion of the fibers, or all the fibers of the flat contexture of the center layer are made from a material with a negative thermal expansion coefficient.
