Patent ID: 11529682

Abstract:
A metal-powder and/or ceramic-powder press device includes at least one first punch (11) which, in a pressing position, is arranged to pass from a first side into a die opening, filled with ceramic and/or metal powder, of a die (13). At least one second punch (12), in the pressing position, is arranged to pass from a second side into the die opening, filled with ceramic and/or metal powder, of the die (13). A position measuring device determines a position of the first punch (11) and includes a first measuring element (16) and a second measuring element (19). The first measuring element (16) is connectable to the first punch (11) and the second measuring element (19) is connectable to the second punch (12), such that a relative position of the measuring elements to one another changes during the pressing operation. A sensor device determines the change in the relative position.
