Telescopic compression device and exchange tool of flat bed die-cutting machines, flat bed stripping machines or part separating machine
A telescopic compression device ( 10 ) for flat bed die-cutting, stripping and part separating machines is provided, comprising a socket ( 12 ), at least one guide element ( 14, 15 ) which is slidably guided in the socket ( 12 ) and an elastic bias means ( 34 ) which biases the at least one guide element ( 14, 15 ) towards a furthest extended position and an elastic security element ( 44 ) which has an inherent stiffness and secures the at least one guide element ( 14, 15 ) to the socket ( 12 ). Furthermore, an exchange tool ( 2 ) of flat bed die-cutting machines, flat bed stripping machines or part separating machines is provided.
1. A telescopic compression device for a flat bed die-cutting, stripping, and/or part separating machine, the telescopic compression device comprising:
a socket;
a first guide element arranged for telescopic sliding in the socket;
a second guide element arranged for telescopic sliding in the first guide element, wherein the first guide element and the second guide element have mating features to inhibit relative angular motion between the first guide element and the second guide element;
an elastic bias means which biases the second guide element towards a furthest extended position; and
a security element which has an inherent stiffness and secures the second guide element to the socket.
2. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the security element at least partially encompasses the second guide element and/or the socket.
3. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is flexible.
4. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the socket comprises a flange, and
the security element comprises a support element which abuts against a surface of the flange that faces in a direction away from the guide element.
5. The telescopic compression device according to claim 4 , wherein the security element comprises a ring which abuts against an axial end face of the second guide element that faces away from the socket.
6. The telescopic compression device according to claim 5 , wherein the security element comprises at least one bracket, which connects the support element and the ring.
7. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is a rod.
8. The telescopic compression device according to claim 7 , wherein the rod extends from a free end of the guide element up to the socket.
9. The telescopic compression device according to claim 7 , wherein the rod is inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the compression device.
10. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the security element comprises thermoplastic polyurethane.
11. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is formed as one piece.
12. The telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , wherein the second guide element is slidable into the socket against a force of the elastic bias means.
13. An exchange tool of a flat bed die-cutting, stripping, and/or part separating machine, the exchange tool comprising:
a carrier plate in which at least one through-hole is formed;
the telescopic compression device according to claim 1 , inserted into the at least one through-hole such that the telescopic compression device protrudes from the carrier plate; and
a pressure plate that is mounted at a free end of the telescopic compression device.
