Abstract
A multi-functional tool with clamping- and shaping jaws (14) is to be created, which is quickly adaptable to the respective different application uses and which can provide if need be not only high clamping- rather also high shaping forces. This is achieved by guiding the tool jaws (14) by means of guide elements (15) aligned essentially in feed or advance direction in the basic member (2) or in the trolley (3), that the tool jaws (14) are retained by means of a centered clamping element (16, 17, 19) in their working position and that, in addition to a spindle drive (5-7) for moving the trolley relative to the basic member (2), at least one additional mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and/or electromotive feed element (12) actuatable by a pedal (12a) is provided.
Claims9
A clamping and shaping tool comprising:
- a set of pairs of replaceable tool jaws, with each pair of replaceable tool jaws having a predetermined shape;
- a stationary basic member and a mobile trolley, displaceable relative to said basic member, for supporting tool jaws of a respective pair of tool jaws;
- means provided in each of said stationary basic member and said mobile trolley and aligned in a displacement direction of said mobile trolley for aligning the tool jaws of the respective pair of tool jaws;
- quick release means provided in each of said stationary basic member and said mobile trolley for retaining the tool jaws in an operational position thereof;
- a spindle drive for displacing said mobile trolley toward and away from said stationary basic member;
- and
- foot-activated pedal displacement means for applying increased clamping and deformation forces to said mobile trolley.
