Presse und Verfahren zum Hartschneiden

摘要

A power cutter for cutting a hardened steel workpiece has upper and lower press plates shiftable vertically relative to each other, a lower blade on the lower plate adapted to support the workpiece and having a lower cutting edge upwardly engaging the workpiece, and an upper blade on the upper plate having an upper cutting edge substantially parallel to and movable vertically past the lower cutting edge. An actuator connected to one of the plates vertically shifts the one plate toward and away from the other plate. An abutment on at least one of the plates bearing on the other of the plates and blocks vertical shifting of the plates toward each other in a position with the upper cutting edge slightly above the lower cutting edge.
