A processing unit of a machine tool for the punching processing of workpieces, in particular metal sheets, has a punching tool carrier configured to receive a punching tool and a stripper carrier for a stripper. The punching tool carrier can be moved by a punch drive along a stroke axis by a transverse drive element being driven by a punch drive motor relative to the punching tool carrier with a transverse drive movement along a transverse movement axis which extends in the transverse direction of the stroke axis. The stripper carrier can be moved along the stroke axis by a stripper drive, and the transverse drive element of the punch drive during the transverse drive movement can be moved relative to the stripper carrier along the transverse movement axis and the punching tool carrier and the stripper carrier can be moved relative to each other along the stroke axis.

A roller tool for a machine tool for the linear forming of a metal sheet comprises a housing, a tool head which for reversibly interacting with a ram of the machine tool is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the housing about a tool longitudinal axis, having an impact face for transmitting a contact pressure force that is oriented so as to be parallel to the tool longitudinal axis from the ram to the tool head, and a rotary engagement for transmitting a rotating movement about the tool longitudinal axis from the ram to the tool head, and a roller installation for interacting with the metal sheet, having at least one roller body that is capable of being rotatingly driven by way of the tool head.

A numerical controller generates movement command data, and performs an interpolation process based on the generated movement command data to generate and output interpolation data. Further, in the case of a state in which a press operation in punch press machining is started from a different position from a position of a preset rising edge, an overlap time is calculated based on a position of a punch head when the press operation is started, and an output timing of interpolation data related to an axis controlling the press operation is controlled based on the calculated overlap time. In this way, even when there is a change in press stroke, a dead time may be prevented from being generated.

A method for manufacturing an out plate for a refrigerator includes providing a steel plate with a protective film attached to a surface thereof; seating the steel plate on a die and forming one of the plurality of through holes by a vertical movement of a punch; and horizontally moving the steel plate to one of a plurality of set positions to form another one of the plurality of through holes in the steel plate by the vertical movement of the punch, wherein the out plate defines a front surface of a door of the refrigerator and includes a display part, wherein a plurality of through holes are formed therein, and a display assembly comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are configured to transmit light through the plurality of through holes configured to display information.

A die-pressing punch used for die-pressing a workpiece includes a punch guide, a punch body that is provided vertically movably and non-rotatable about its axial center with respect to the punch guide, a punch head screw-fitted with the punch head. The die-pressing punch further includes a roller unit that is provided inside the punch guide beneath the punch body vertically movably and has a rotatable roller protruding downward from a bottom face of the punch guide, and an urging member that is provided between the punch body and the roller unit and urges the roller unit downward. The die-pressing punch further includes a joint member that is jointed with the punch head non-rotatably about the axial center, and an operable member. The operable member switches the joint member between a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state about the axial center with respect to the punch guide.

A die-pressing die used for die-pressing a workpiece includes a die body on whose upper face a die hole is formed and on whose bottom face a discharge hole for discharging dusts of the workpiece is formed, and a roller unit disposed within the die hole and having a roller protruding upward from the upper face of the die body. A collection passage for collecting the dusts is formed at a peripheral edge portion of the die hole. One end of the collection passage is opened at the upper face of the die body, and another end thereof is opened to the discharge hole. The collection passage is configured to suction air due to a negative pressure state in the discharge hole.

A method for manufacturing an out plate for a refrigerator includes providing a steel plate with a protective film attached to a surface thereof; seating the steel plate on a die and forming one of the plurality of through holes by a vertical movement of a punch; and horizontally moving the steel plate to one of a plurality of set positions to form another one of the plurality of through holes in the steel plate by the vertical movement of the punch, wherein the out plate defines a front surface of a door of the refrigerator and includes a display part, wherein a plurality of through holes are formed therein, and a display assembly comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are configured to transmit light through the plurality of through holes configured to display information.

A method for the production of workpieces includes positioning and holding a first plate-shaped material with a gripping device in a working region of a processing station so that the first plate-shaped material is moveable relative to a workpiece support, positioning and holding a second plate-shaped material with an additional gripping device in the working region of the processing station so that the second plate-shaped material is moveable relative to the workpiece support, producing a first workpiece part from the first plate-shaped material, positioning the first workpiece part with respect to the second plate-shaped material, connecting the first workpiece part to the second plate-shaped material or to a second workpiece part produced from the second plate-shaped material, wherein the second workpiece part is at least partially processed, and finishing the at least the second workpiece part that is connected to the first workpiece part in the processing station.
