Device for mounting a tooling board in a flat bed die-cutting, stripping or blanking machine

A mounting device for mounting a tooling board in a machine, the mounting device comprising:

• a first clamping jaw which is moveable from an unlocked position, in which the tooling board may be removed from or inserted into the machine, to a locked position, in which the tooling board may be fixed in the machine;
• an actuator which comprises a moveable piston and a piston rod coupled to the piston;
• a second clamping jaw which constitutes a counter bearing to the first clamping jaw;
• and
• an adjustment device which is configured to adjust a position of the tooling board in the machine,
• wherein the actuator is configured to transfer the first clamping jaw from the locked position to the unlocked position,
• wherein the actuator is coupled to the first clamping jaw via an attachment point which has a fixed position relative to the first clamping jaw,
• wherein the first and the second clamping jaws are configured to clamp a tooling board between each other,
• wherein the actuator is fixed to the second clamping jaw.

A mounting assembly comprising:

• a mounting device for mounting a tooling board in a machine, the mounting device including:
• a first clamping jaw which is moveable from an unlocked position, in which the tooling board may be removed from or inserted into the machine, to a locked position, in which the tooling board may be fixed in the machine;
• an actuator which comprises a moveable piston and a piston rod coupled to the piston;
• and
• a frame,
• wherein the frame and/or the tooling board are removably mounted in the mounting device by the first clamping jaw,
• wherein the tooling board is attachable to the frame,
• wherein the actuator is configured to transfer the first clamping jaw from the locked position to the unlocked position,
• wherein the actuator is coupled to the first clamping jaw via an attachment point which has a fixed position relative to the first clamping jaw, and
• wherein the actuator is coupled to the first clamping jaw via a swivel joint.
