Definitions

• Horizontal metal extrusion presses are preferably provided with a press frame, which is usually formed from a cylinder spar, a counter spar and connects them, and has four tie rods.
• the design of the tie rods as guides for the pick-up holder and the running hole, which can be displaced in the press frame along the press axis (DE-PS 23 66 117), is essential for low structural expenditure. This direct guidance on the tie rods saves a base frame designed as a guide frame (DE-PS 64 174, DE-OS 2 003 244).
• the support of the holder and also of the barrel is often supported on support surfaces which are arranged at an angle so that they extend the press axis in their extension or run close to the press axis, i.e. are oriented towards the press axis, so that the central position of the receiver and the press ram to have been unaffected by thermal expansion due to changes in temperature.
• supports are arranged in the base frame supporting the guides for the transducer holder and the spar between the guides and the base frame, which are horizontally adjustable on the base frame transversely to the press axis and against which the guides are vertically adjustable (DE-PS 644 174).
• the supports had to be omitted and the actuators were arranged perpendicular to the support surfaces oriented on the press axis in the transducer holder and in the spar, as is the case with one guided by the press frame pick-up holder from DE-OS 14 52 264, as well as in the extrusions provided with a base frame designed as a guide frame from the
• ERS ⁇ ZB A ⁇ T (RULE 26) DE-OS 20 03 244 is known.
• This arrangement of the actuators perpendicular to the support surfaces oriented on the press axis has the disadvantage that the adjustment always has an effect in a vertical and a horizontal component, the compensation of which compensates for an offset of the sliding shoes of the actuators resting on the support surfaces transverse to the direction of movement of the sensor holder and Laufholm ordered.
• the actuators are actuated primarily when setting up the extrusion press when the transducer holder and the spar are at rest, whereby due to the friction between sliding shoes and support surfaces, the offset does not take place or only incompletely and only takes place when the transducer or the spool is moved, which means that setting up the extrusion press difficult
• the extrusion press is set up only when it is at operating temperature, there are no later temperature changes and thus the thermal expansions, for the compensation of which the arrangement of the support surfaces for the transducer holder and the spar, which is oriented to the press axis, has been made.
• this arrangement must be maintained.
• the press frame formed from the cylinder spar, counter spar and tie rods connecting them is subject to an overall elastic deformation in such a way that the cylinder spar and counter spar bulge outwards and thus the tie rods experience an inward curvature, which minimizes due to the high dimensional rigidity of the cylinder spar and counter spar, but cannot be excluded. If, therefore, in saving a base frame designed as a guide frame, the sensor holder and the running bar are guided through the tie rods, the arrangement of the support surfaces on the tie rods oriented towards the press axis must be provided.
• the invention is based on metal extrusion presses of the latter type, corresponding to the preamble of claim 1, and it is based on the object of improving and facilitating the adjustability of the pick-up holder and the spar to the tie rods leading them.
