In a method of setting flat elements in relation to a reference device, in particular stamping dies or the like, and for aligning embossing blocks relative to an embossing original outside a stamping machine by means of a camera and picture screen associated therewith, the camera position is set over a holding frame and a marking at one side of the holding frame and displaced until the image of the camera on the picture screen is coincident with a line of a reticle, whereafter the camera is moved over a second marking, which is approximately aligned with the first marking, at the other end of the holding frame and then the rear part of the holding frame is displaced at a right angle to the first direction of travel until the image of the second marking on the picture screen is coincident with that reticle line. In addition the stamping die is to be enclosed and parallelism is to be set relative to the first direction of travel by way of the reticle line; after setting of the stamping die, the embossing original is arranged over same, using a carrier plate provided with markings.
A method of setting flat elements in relation to a reference device, in particular stamping dies or the like, and for aligning embossing blocks relative to an embossing original outside a stamping machine by means of a camera and picture screen associated therewith, which comprises setting a camera position over a holding frame and a first marking at one side of the holding frame, displacing the camera position until the image of the camera on the picture screen is coincident with a line of a reticle, whereafter moving the camera over a second marking which is approximately aligned with the first marking at the other end of the holding frame, and then displacing the rear part of the holding frame at a right angle (y) to the first direction of travel (x) until the image of the second marking on the picture screen is coincident with the reticle line.
Apparatus for setting flat elements in relation to a reference device, in particular stamping dies or the like, and for aligning embossing blocks relative to an embossing original outside a stamping machine, which comprises a camera with an associated picture screen, a traverse member, a table plate means over which the traverse member is movable as a means providing a path of movement for said camera, wherein said camera is movable along said traverse member with associated picture screen, including a longitudinal and traverse measuring system in two coordinates (x, y) which determine the position of the camera movable over them and are connected storably in a computer, wherein the camera is interchangeably fixed in a holder of the traverse member, and including an output means for printing out the content of the picture screen.
