Abstract
Track for drawing assembly and method to replace the gripping elements associated with said tracks, wherein the track comprises a plurality of links able to support at least part of at least one gripping element of a product to be drawn, each of the gripping elements being able to be selectively clamped in a housing seating by means of rapid attachment/detachment means, said rapid attachment/detachment means comprising at least a clamping element axially movable along an axis substantially orthogonal to the plane on which said gripping element lies, and an activation element axially movable and able to displace said clamping element from a first clamping position to a second position wherein said gripping element is released.
Claims25
Track for drawing assembly, comprising a plurality of links able to support at least part of at least a gripping element, or pad of a product to be drawn, each of said gripping elements being able to be selectively clamped in a housing seating by means of rapid attachment/detachment means, wherein said rapid attachment/detachment means comprise at least a clamping element axially movable along an axis substantially orthogonal to the plane on which said gripping element lies, and an activation element axially movable and suitable to displace said clamping element from a first clamping position to a second position wherein said gripping element is released.
Method to remove a gripping element of a product to be drawn in a drawing assembly with tracks, each of said tracks comprising links able to support in a clamped position at least part of at least one of said gripping elements in a relative seating, the method comprising thrusting on at least one activation element, arranged in a lateral position on a relative link and at least partly accessible from one side thereof, to determine an axial displacement thereof in a direction substantially parallel to the plane on which said gripping element lies, the displacement of said activation element causing an action to release a relative clamping element which allows said gripping element to be removed from the relative seating.
