A press for pressing a component, such as a thermoplastic consolidation and/or forming press, has a first fixed part as a first pressing tool, a movable part as a second pressing tool for pressing a component together with the first pressing tool, and a second fixed part for applying a pressing force to the movable part, wherein the second fixed part and the movable part apply the pressing force generated via interaction between a magnetic field of a pressing magnet and a superconductor cooled below its step temperature.

Devices and methods for producing a T-shaped semifinished product from a multiply non-crimp fabric with reinforcing fibers for a composite material. The product has a web and a flange. The device includes a web forming tool, with which a web portion of the non-crimp fabric is clamped in place, a forming tool, with which plies of a flange portion of the non-crimp fabric are split into two parts, a depositing device, with which a tube body is deposited on the flange portion formed into the flange, a holding tool, with which a clearance between the holding tool and the flange is formed, and a filling device, with which the tube body is filled with a gas such that the tube body fills the clearance and firmly holds the flange portion formed into the flange, and alternatively, a magnetic force can be generated between a sheet and the web forming tool.

A profiling device, a profiling method, a bonding system, a bonding method, and a display device are provided. The profiling device includes a profiling jig. The profiling jig includes an attaching surface. The attaching surface is switchable between a planar state and a profiling state, and the attaching surface is a planar surface in the case that the attaching surface is in the planar state, and the attaching surface is a profiling surface in the case that the attaching surface is in the profiling state.
