On-site pressing of field poles for a hydroelectric generator is provided. A field pole may be placed on a press cart and press bars may be placed on top of the field pole. The press cart is moved along a track to transport the field pole to a pressing unit. Hydraulic cylinders in the pressing unit press the field pole and the press bars between the cart and a top plate of the pressing unit to straighten the field pole.

A press tool for a press assembly includes an additive manufactured body including a plurality of stacked layers of additive manufacturable material extending between an interior side and an exterior side. The interior side has a part forming surface including a surface profile for forming a part. The exterior side has a plurality of hollow cores defined by longitudinal walls and lateral walls meeting at joints. Press inserts are coupled to the longitudinal walls and the lateral walls at the exterior side. The press inserts are configured to be pressed inward by a pressing load during a pressing operation for forming the part. The press inserts distribute the pressing load along the longitudinal and lateral walls.

The invention relates to a press device (100) for a powder press (1) for producing pellets from a compressible material, wherein the powder press (1) comprises a press frame (2) that has an upper and a lower frame portion, an upper and/or lower punch arrangement (3) which each comprise a tool, and a die arrangement (4), which define a mold cavity into which the compressible material is introducible, and a drive unit (5) that is operatively connected to the punch arrangement (3) and/or the die arrangement (4), wherein, in order to form the pellet, the upper and/or lower punch arrangement (3) and the die arrangement (4) are movable relative to one another along a pressing axis (6) by means of the drive unit (5) and are able to be pressed against one another. The press device (100) has multiple tool planes (10) that are arranged above one another, which each comprise a carrying element (12) and a push-in element (50) that is able to be received on the carrying element (12) and arrested, on which at least one of the tools is receivable.

The present invention provides a laminator capable of improving evenness of a pressing force applied from pressure-bonding rolls to a substrate and a film. The laminator includes a first pressure-bonding roll, and a second pressure-bonding roll disposed above the first pressure-bonding roll and configured to be displaceable in a direction toward (a first direction) and a direction away from (a second direction) the first pressure-bonding roll. The laminator further includes a support roll configured to support the first pressure-bonding roll below the first pressure-bonding roll, and a pressure application roll disposed above the second pressure-bonding roll. The pressure application roll is configured to be displaceable in the first direction and the second direction, and is also configured to press the second pressure-bonding roll toward one side where the first pressure-bonding roll is located by being displaced in the first direction. The laminator further includes a driving mechanism configured to displace the pressure application roll in the first direction and the second direction.
