The invention preferably relates to a compression roller station for rotary tableting machines with a guide profile which can be locked to the rotary tableting machine and comprises two side surfaces on which a pair of upper and lower shaft mountings for compression roller shafts are arranged externally in each case, so that two pairs of compression rollers can be attached to the same guide profile. In preferred embodiments, the shaft mountings have a laterally outwardly open shape, particularly preferably a u-shape, and are arranged for a swivelable mounting of compression roller shafts. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a rotary tableting machine comprising such a preferred compression roller station.

The present invention discloses a device and method for installing and adjusting a sliding block of a multipoint crank press. The device comprises a crank, a connecting rod with an end provided with a U-shaped notch, a sliding block and an eccentric pin shaft micro-adjustment mechanism. The eccentric pin shaft micro-adjustment mechanism is installed at the joint between the connecting rod and the sliding block. The crank, the connecting rod and the sliding block of the multipoint press are normally machined and installed through a classical process, so that the sliding block of the multipoint press runs to a bottom dead center. A gap among mechanisms is eliminated through the loading by a hydraulic loader. The position of one set of crank, connecting rod and sliding block mechanism is taken as a reference, and then the eccentric positions and directions of the eccentric pin shafts at other adjustment positions are finely adjusted, thus realizing high-precision assembly and operation of the multipoint press.

A drive unit drives a slide which vertically reciprocates for pressing the workpiece. A detection unit detects positional information about the slide. A speed control unit controls the speed of the slide by the drive unit, based on motion information defining operation of the slide. A stoppage determination calculation unit sets a deceleration start point at which deceleration of the slide is to be started, based on the motion information and a set point at which the slide is to be forced to stop. A speed control unit determines whether an abnormality signal regarding transportation of the workpiece is input, when the slide reaches the deceleration start point based on the positional information about the slide detected by the detection unit. The speed control unit performs deceleration control for the slide so that the slide is stopped at the set point, when determining that the abnormality signal is input.

There is provided a press device which causes a slide to advance and retreat to forge a forming object by using a die heated to a predetermined temperature. The press device includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a press operation enters a stable forging period during which a mechanical load acting on the slide in a press direction is stable, and a controller that adjusts a force acting on the forming object from the die to deform the forming object, based on a predetermined measurement value, when the determination unit determines that the press operation enters the stable forging period.

A crank press with an adjustable stroke comprises a press frame having a frame slideways therewithin with a slider reciprocatively movable therealong and supported by a pneumatic cylinder. In order to significantly increase a working force, a length of the working stroke and efficiency, the crank press further comprises: at least two mutually synchronized crank drives configured for reciprocatively moving the slider along the frame slideways, a lever-crosspiece mechanism having at least one pair of threaded guide stanchions secured within the frame bed, a crosspiece slidably mounted on the guide stanchions atop the slider, at least two two-arm levers hingedly connected to the slider supportadly on the crosspiece, at least one pair of crosspiece stop nuts engaged with threads of the guide stanchions and configured for arresting the cross-piece at the moment of applying a force to the slider by the lever and a switching arrangement for slider reversal with regulation of its stroke.

A servo press machine includes a display unit that displays a strip-shaped region for setting a motion of a slide and an operation unit that receives an input operation. A range extending from an upper end of the strip-shaped region to a lower end thereof corresponds to a movement range of the slide in a linear movement, and the strip-shaped region is formed of a plurality of slide operation regions that are consecutive in a direction in which the strip-shaped region extends. Each of the slide operation regions can set a speed of the slide in response to the input operation received by the operation unit, and a boundary between adjacent two of slide operation regions can move along the direction in which the strip-shaped region extends in response to the input operation received by the operation unit.

A reciprocating press for acting on a workpiece is described, and includes an eccentric shaft rotatably disposed in a rotatable eccentric sleeve, and a crank-slider mechanism coupled to the eccentric shaft. Rotations of the eccentric shaft and the rotatable eccentric sleeve are independently controllable to dynamically vary a stroke length of the crank-slider mechanism.

A die cutter including: a moving platen and a fixed platen; a moving mechanism structured to cause the moving platen to vertically move toward the fixed platen; and a controller structured to control the moving mechanism, wherein the die cutter punches a sheet material with a punching die attached to the fixed platen by bringing the moving platen closer to the fixed platen using the moving mechanism, and the moving mechanism includes: four lift transmission mechanisms structured to pressurize the moving platen upwardly with four pressurizers having different positions in a horizontal direction from one another; and four press motors structured to drive the lift transmission mechanisms, respectively.

A bodymaker includes a totaling crankshaft including an offset crank, the adjustable eccentric assembly including an eccentric shell assembly. The eccentric shell assembly is operatively coupled to the crankshaft crank. A primary connection rod is operatively coupled to the eccentric shell assembly. A ram assembly is operatively coupled to the primary connection rod. The ram assembly includes an elongated ram. In this configuration, the ram reciprocates over a stroke that is a function of the orientation of the eccentric shell assembly. Further, in an exemplary embodiment, the ram assembly is structured to adjust the range of the ram body stroke through a die pack without substantially decoupling a number of substantial components.
