Abstract:
1. An apparatus for sequentially effected performance of stamping and milling, welding and/or bonding operations on large area, three-dimensional plastics parts ( 10 ) for motor vehicles, especially fenders, comprising: at least one holder ( 9 ) for the plastics parts ( 10 ), said at least one holder ( 9 ) being stationary arranged; an underneath tool ( 16 ); an upper tool ( 17 ), said underneath tool ( 16 ) and said upper tool ( 17 ) being provided with tools ( 19 , 22 and 24 , 25 respectively) which are mounted movably at least partially parallel to or in the direction of a predetermined axis (z), a bracket ( 18 ) on which said tools ( 19 , 22 and 24 , 25 respectively) of said underneath tool ( 16 ) or said upper tool ( 17 ) are mounted, and means ( 21 ) for moving said bracket ( 18 ) transversely to said axis (z) so that one of said underneath tools ( 16 ) and said upper tool ( 17 ) is moved to the plastic parts and some of said tools ( 19 , 22 and 24 , 25 respectively) firstly provide the plastics parts ( 10 ) with a stamped hole and then the other of said underneath tool ( 16 ) and said upper tool ( 17 ) is moved to the plastic parts and other of said tools ( 9 , 22 and 24 , 25 respectfully) and perform at least one further processing step in the region of the stamped hole by milling, welding and/or bonding, whereby the means for moving the bracket ( 18 ) bring the tools ( 19 , 22 and 24 , 25 respectively) mounted thereon successively into an operating position, which is established by a predetermined working site of the plastics part ( 10 ).
