  • a respective solid-body joint has only one degree of freedom, which is aligned along a linear axis.
  • the solid-state joint can preferably be designed such that the solid-state joint has elements and / or material tapers which allow elastic deformation of the solid-body joint and thus movement in the direction of the linear axis.
  • a respective solid-body joint has as such elements at least one leaf spring, wherein the at least one leaf spring connects the body of the solid-state joint with the machine frame.
  • the manipulator is designed as a frame-mounted, rotatable eccentric or spiral roller and is in particular motor-rotatable. It is advantageous if the manipulator is in permanent contact with the solid-body joint, so that a rotational movement of the manipulator can be converted into a linear movement of the solid-body joint.

  • the processing plant has only two processing cylinders, then this can be designed as a stamping unit, the first processing cylinder being designed as a punching cylinder and the second processing cylinder as a counter-punching cylinder.
  • the same structure is also suitable for an embossing mill with embossing and counter embossing cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a processing plant 10 shown with a first cylinder 11, with a second cylinder 12 and a third cylinder 13, which are mounted in the machine frame 9.

  • These support bodies 20 are each designed to be linearly displaceable along a linear axis 25.
  • the structure of a respective support body 20 is in the illustration of FIG. 2 shown in detail.
  • the support body 20 has a solid-state joint 21, a ring segment 23 and a manipulator 24.
  • the solid-state joint 21 has a body 22 and leaf springs 26.
  • the body 22 of the solid-state joint 21 is displaceably mounted on frame-fixed guide elements 27 on the machine frame 9.
  • the leaf springs 26 By means of the leaf springs 26, the body 22 is fixed to the machine frame 9.
  • the ring segment 23 is pivotable about a pivot point 29 (double arrow s) on the body 22 of the solid-body joint 21.
  • a spring assembly 28 is inserted, which causes a restoring force of the ring segment 23.
  • the ring segment 23 is displaced linearly, undergoes an adjustment movement (double arrow v), which is aligned in the direction of the degree of freedom 25 of the solid-state joint 21.
  • the displacement of the ring segment 23 is realized by a manipulator 24, which in the illustrated embodiment as a spiral disk is formed, is rotated (rotational movement d), wherein this rotational movement d is converted into a linear displacement movement of the body 22 of the solid-state joint 21.
  • the adjusting movement v is generated by an externally acting force on the solid-body joint 21 by means of elastic deformation of the solid-state joint 21.
  • the arrangement of the support body 20 and the support body 30 respectively on both sides of the cylinder 11, 12, 13 goes from the 3D representation of FIG. 3 out.
  • the cylinder 13 has not been shown for the sake of clarity. If the gap between the cylinders 11, 12 or 11, 13 is not to be adjusted uniformly, but instead an entanglement between the cylinders 11, 12 or 11, 13 takes place, 24 different rotational movements d are performed on the drive-side and operator-side manipulators , which results in varying degrees of adjustment v.
  • manipulators can either be done by hand by the machine operator or motorized.
  • This second variant is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • Each manipulator 24 is connected to and is moved by a motor 17.
  • the motors 17 in turn are data transmission technology connected to a control device 18 and are controlled by this.
  • a dynamic Druckbei ein is possible, ie an adjustment of the printing gap depending on the machine speed.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 14 is deactivated and the biasing force F between the cylinders 11, 12, 13 is released.
  • the spring assemblies 28, which are integrated in the bodies 22 of the solid-state joints 21, then cause with their spring force that the ring segments 23 are respectively pivoted away from the body 22 of the solid-state joint 21, so that the support body 30 of the first cylinder 11 are raised. This has the result that the first cylinder 11 is turned off by the two other cylinders 12, 13.
  • manipulator 24 as a spiral roller, this could also be designed as an eccentric roller or as a piezoactuator.
  • FIG. 6 is an editing unit 10 shown with a first cylinder 11 and a second cylinder 12, which are mounted in the machine frame 9.
  • the processing unit 10 is a stamping unit, wherein the first cylinder 11 is designed as a punching cylinder and the second cylinder 12 as a stamped counter-cylinder.
