Abstract
A fine blanking press comprises a blanking ram and a counter unit positioned opposite the blanking ram. A press drive is configured to drive at least the blanking ram along a driving direction during a fine blanking process step. A feeding device is configured to feed a process material to a process zone defined between the blanking ram and the counter unit and at least one handling device is configured to handle the process material outside of the process zone. At least one levelling drive is configured to drive the at least one handling device in a same direction as the blanking ram during a fine blanking process step.
Claims15
A fine blanking press comprising:
- a blanking ram;
- a counter unit positioned opposite the blanking ram;
- a press drive configured to drive at least the blanking ram along a driving direction during a fine blanking process step;
- a feeding device configured to feed a process material to a process zone defined between the blanking ram and the counter unit;
- at least one handling device configured to handle the process material outside of the process zone;
- and
- at least one levelling drive configured to drive the at least one handling device in a same direction as the blanking ram during a fine blanking process step.
A method for handling a process material to be processed in a fine blanking press, the method comprising:
- feeding the process material to a process zone defined between a blanking ram and a counter unit positioned opposite the blanking ram;
- driving the blanking ram along a driving direction during a fine blanking process step;
- and
- driving at least one handling device configured to handle the process material outside of the process zone in a same direction as the blanking ram during the fine blanking process step to prevent bending of the process material between the process zone and the at least one handling device during the fine blanking process step.
