Abstract
A format compensator for a pressing device, comprising a compensating element (7) of a given thickness (S), structured so as to be interposed between the lower punch and the upper punch (10, 11) of a pressing device so as to be arranged in contact with the punches (10, 11) during pressing.
Claims17
A pressing device, comprising:
- a lower punch (10) and an upper punch (11), at least one of which, during an operation of the pressing device of pressing a layer (L) of ceramic material of a given thickness (T), is mobile nearingly and distancingly with respect to the other;
- a first movable belt (2), comprising an active portion (3) which is mobile along an advancement direction (Y) and at least partially arranged between the upper punch (11) and the lower punch (10);
- a second movable belt (4), comprising an active portion (5) movable along the advancement direction (Y) and at least partially arranged between the first movable belt (2) and the upper punch (11);
- characterised in that the pressing device comprises a compensating element (7) of a given thickness (S), the compensating element (7) being configured and arranged and located in the pressing device such that, during a pressing, the compensating element (7) is located in a position in opposition to the punches (10,11) and in a zone not occupied by the layer (L) of ceramic material;
- and wherein the compensating element (7), during the pressing, operates as a spacer to keep a portion of the lower punch (10) spaced apart from a portion of the upper punch (11) by a preselected distance.
A format compensator for a pressing device, characterized in that the format compensator comprises a compensating element (7) of a given thickness (S), structured so as to be interposed between a lower punch and an upper punch (10,11) of a pressing device, so as to be arranged, during a pressing, in opposition to the punches (10, 11), wherein the compensating element (7) comprises a plurality of strips (71) superposable on one another in a variable number, for varying the thickness (S) of the compensating element (7);
- wherein the compensating element (7) comprises a casing (72) which is so structured as to removably contain the strips (71), which strips (71) are superposed one above another in a variable number.
