Abstract
A partition slotting machine having a punch and die assembly built as a unit to be separable from the machine for repair, replacement and adjustment of punch, die and operating parts away from the machine, so that the machine may continue operating by installation of a substituted pre-assembled punch and die unit during such servicing. The separable unit includes the die bed with dies adjustably positionable thereacross, a press head movably connected to the die bed and containing punches adjustable positioned thereacross to mate with the dies, and parts of a press head moving mechanism involved in adjusting the position of the press head relative to a drive shaft on the machine which drive shaft is coordinated with other machine functions.
Claims12
In a unitary punch and die unit separable as a unit from and adapted to be mounted on a machine on which machine there is power operated drive means, the separable unit comprising:
- a base;
- die-holding means extending across the base to support dies in different selected positions across the base;
- a press head overlying the base and having punch holding means also extending across the base to support punches adjustably to register with the dies;
- connecting and guiding means to connect the base and press head together as parts of the unit for movement toward and from each other to enable a punching operation to be performed;
- means in the unit for selectively moving the press head toward and from the base;
- means on the press head for connection with the power operated drive means for moving the press head when the unit is mounted onto the machine, the said means for connecting being readily disconnectable;
- and connecting parts for use in quickly mounting the unit onto a machine.
