Patent ID: 8201435

Claim:
A plate workpiece processing tool, comprising: a first tool portion drivingly connectable to a stroke drive configured to move the first tool portion along a stroke axis; a second tool portion, the first tool portion and the second tool portion being movable relative to one another along the stroke axis to enable a plate workpiece to be positioned between the first tool portion and the second tool portion; a processing device connected to the first tool portion; at least two counter-devices connected to the second tool portion, each counter-device being selectively alignable with the processing device, and a first rotatable activating member connected to the second tool portion and configured to move one of the at least two counter-devices into an operating position when the first rotatable activating member is rotated to a first position, the first rotatable activating member being configured to move another of the at least two counter devices into an operating position when the first rotatable activating member is rotated to a second position, the at least two counter-devices projecting toward the first tool portion to a greater extent when in the operating position than when in a non-operating position, wherein the processing device is movable towards the second tool portion in a direction substantially parallel to the stroke axis such that, when one of the at least two counter-devices is aligned with the processing device and is positioned in its operating position, the aligned processing device and counter-device are arranged to process a workpiece positioned between the first and second tool portions.
