TOOL UNIT OF A ROTARY KNEADING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a tool unit of a rotary swaging machine for shaping preferably rod-like or pipe-like workpieces. The tool unit has a plurality of shaping tools (22) which are arranged about an operating axis (18) and which can be driven radially relative to the operating axis (18) with a stroke movement by means of a tool drive. There are associated with the shaping tools adjustment means (38), by which stroke positions of the shaping tools (22) are adjustable in such a manner that the shaping tools (22) abut each other with a closing pressure which is dependent on the stroke positions adjusted when the shaping tools (22) are in a closed state. According to the invention, the tool unit has a measuring device for measuring a parameter, by means of which the closure pressure produced at the adjusted stroke positions of the shaping tools (22) can be verified.
