In horizontal operating machines, the blanks drop under the force <strong>of</strong><br />

gravity into the indexed dial feed plate, where they are fed towards the<br />

coining station. To carry out the coining operation, the indexed plate<br />

stops. After coining, the coin is ejected from the minting collar by the<br />

ejector, which is connected to the <strong>press</strong> slide, and discharged. The short<br />

stroke <strong>of</strong> the link drive system permits the ejector movement to be<br />

derived directly from the slide. The ejector travel is reduced again in<br />

proportion to the slide stroke by means <strong>of</strong> a system <strong>of</strong> levers. Consequently,<br />

temporal <strong>of</strong>fset between the two movements, as a result <strong>of</strong> tolerances<br />

and clearances in the drive elements, is eliminated. The system<br />

is not subject to wear, as neither cams nor rollers are used.<br />

The elastic deflection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>press</strong> frame which takes place during<br />

coining is measured by a quartz crystal transducer and fed via a charge<br />
