The assembling portion comprises an assembling wedge (6), a transmission wedge (4) and an assembling male die (5), wherein the transmission wedge (4) is arranged above the assembling male die (5) in wedge-shaped connection and both of them are arranged in the lower die base (2), the assembling wedge (6) is arranged above the transmission wedge (4) in wedge-shaped connection while in contact.

A metal-cutting machine for flat material parts comprises metal-cutting tools (21, 22, 23), held on a machine frame, and a support unit (10), on which a flat material part to be machined can be placed for a positioning in the metal-cutting machine. The support unit comprises a feed table (10), which is clamped remote from the beams and on one side about a pivot axis that is pivotable parallel to the beam orientation (39) and the free end (26) of which feed table in the parking position rests on a support surface (27) assigned to the lower beam (21), which support surface is connected via a sliding surface (28) to the top side (29) of the lower beam (21). The clamped end (36) of the feed table (10) is here movable by means of a drive (40), in the direction of extension (45), into its loading and removal position, wherein the bottom edge (25) of the feed table slides from the support surface (27) over the sliding surface (28) and beyond the top side (29) of the lower beam, and the top side (29) forms the support for the bottom side (16) of the feed table (10) in the loading and removal position for a flat material part.

A loading and unloading device for a machine, a machine for machining panel-like workpieces, and a workpiece support for such a machine and a method for loading and unloading such a machine, having a loading and unloading module, wherein the loading and unloading module has a vertically upwardly oriented raising device for lifting a cut-free workpiece part and a vertically downwardly oriented gripping device (38) for holding an unmachined, panel-like workpiece.

A hot metal gas forming and quenching system and process therefor are provided. The system includes a hydraulic press, a die assembly, a rapid heating module and a rapid cooling module. The die assembly includes a progressive die which can realize the hot gas bulging and rapid cooling of the workpiece. Through the above system and the process, making pipes with uncoated plates has a lower cost than with coated and plated steel plates, with fewer structural defects and process risks. By using a progressive die, a resistance heating process, and hot gas bulging and quenching processes are performed in parallel, and the material is loaded progressively, thereby having a fast pace and a greatly improved efficiency. A heating state of parts is fully protected, oxidation is avoided, and no coating is required. After the workpiece is formed, it can be directly welded to a car body without shot blasting.

A transport device includes a moving mechanism and a plate. The moving mechanism includes a pinion, a conversion mechanism, which converts vertical motion of an upper die assembly into rotational motion of the pinion, and a rack, which is moved as the pinion rotates. The moving mechanism is configured to move, when the rack moves from the top dead center position to a bottom dead center position, the plate to a position that is away from a die apparatus in a conveying direction and is below a conveying surface. The pinion includes a toothless portion that does not mesh with the rack when the rack moves between the bottom dead center position and a middle position that is between the top dead center position and the bottom dead center position.

A bending machine including a rack, the rack is provided with a feeding mechanism, one side of the feeding mechanism is provided with a pressing mechanism capable of pressing a workpiece firmly, and one side of the pressing mechanism is provided with a bending mechanism capable of bending the workpiece inside the bending mechanism. The bending machine is simple in structure, high in production and capable of reducing labor cost.

The underlying invention relates in particular to a production module for a production line which is modularly populatable with production modules. In embodiments, provision is made whereby the production module comprises at least one manipulator unit with which a workpiece or a workpiece component is, during the production process, transferable between a deposit position and a production position in the production space of a production module which, for the execution of a production step, is positioned directly downstream in a production direction (R) along the production line.

An industrial installation having an automated sheet metal bending cell and an automated magazine, having a spatial and functional organization for automating flows of materials entering and leaving the cell, aimed at increasing, in a reduced enclosure, autonomy of operation of the cell without human assistance, as well as flexibility and productivity of the cell, the installation including: a press brake; a bending robot; a rail, generally called a track, on which a carriage supporting the robot moves; a system for dropping off and retrieving parts during operation; a mechanical or optical system for controlling indexing of parts to be bent; a magazine or a set of racks for bending tools comprising punches and dies; at least one attachment device for grippers; a programming and monitoring system for the press brake; a control console; an automated magazine; and a supply area for parts to be bent.

Control method for a press installation and installation, where the installation includes a servo press, a conveyor device for conveying pieces from a position of origin to the servo press, and a controller. The controller controls the movements of the conveyor device and of the servo press by means of one and the same master signal, causing a synchronized actuation of both. In the method, the pieces are conveyed to the position of origin and during the travel thereof until reaching the position of origin, the passage of the pieces through a predetermined position of reference before the position of origin is detected, and depending on the detection, the master signal is adjusted for adapting the actuation speed of the servo press.
