The invention relates to an apparatus comprising a separating tool and comprising a counterpressure plate for producing contour geometries in adhesive-containing composite materials, wherein the separating tool can be moved in translational tool stroke directions between an inoperative position and a parting position normal to the counterpressure plate, and also to a method for producing contour geometries in adhesive-containing composite materials by means of an apparatus of this kind. The separating tool and the counterpressure plate can be actuated relative to one another by means of at least one actuator in at least one excitation direction with a ramp function and/or with a jump function. Each of these excitation directions lies in a parallel plane to a cutting edge plane of the separating tool. The present invention permits reliable separation of a stamped grid from laminate sections which remain on a carrier film.

The tool module is supported by a tool carrier which is displaceable by means of a rotatably mounted setting shaft in parallel to the only one drive shaft and to the lower and the upper drive shafts, and which tool carrier has at least one holding element which serves for releasably holding the tool module.

The present teaching relates to a device for shaping multiple dough strip strands including a dough feeding device by means of which dough can be introduced into the device. It has at least two shaping rolls that can be rotated about the axes thereof, at least one discharge roll that can be rotated about the axis thereof, and at least one drive by means of which the shaping rolls and/or the discharge roll can be driven about their axes. The axes of the shaping rolls and of the discharge roll are arranged parallel to and at a distance from each other and a dough chamber is formed between the shaping rolls and the discharge roll. The device has two side covers, which delimit the dough chamber laterally, in particular at the end of the shaping rolls and the discharge roll.
