latter is also mounted in roller bearings and is used to cut the blank<br />

from the coil stock. A zigzag feed device is used to improve material utilization<br />

(cf. Fig. 4.5.7 and 4.5.8). In order to prevent any unwanted<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> the blanking impact on the drawing operation carried out by<br />

the main slide, the drive <strong>of</strong> the secondary slide by the eccentric shaft is<br />

performed with a phase shift. A counterbalance mounted eccentrically<br />

in the center <strong>of</strong> the drive shaft ensures smooth running <strong>of</strong> the high-performance<br />

transfer <strong>press</strong>. For this reason, simple <strong>press</strong> installation is possible<br />

by means <strong>of</strong> damping elements.<br />

Precise slide guidance is provided by four hardened gib columns with<br />

roller cages and gib bushes on the forming level and at the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

slide. This system ensures optimum static and dynamic rigidity on the<br />

horizontal plane, so enhancing the service life <strong>of</strong> dies (cf. Fig. 3.1.5). The<br />

rigid <strong>press</strong> body is a single-part welded structure, ensuring minimal tilt-<br />
