ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for forming a shaped part from a work includes two members spaced away from one another which define a pressure zone. First and second dies clamp the work therebetween, and a first roller conveyor transports at least one of the dies along a transport direction. A holder restrains the members from yielding along a direction transverse to the transport direction. At least one of the members defines an inclination with the transport direction, so as to cause the pressure zone to converge along the transport direction. A drive mechanism drives the dies to the pressure zone, and away therefrom; one of the dies includes a plurality of adjoining pressure-transferring elements. Each pressure-transferring element has a pressure-transfer surface on one end thereof facing the one of the members, and a molding surface on the other end thereof. Self-adjustable devices are interposed between the one of the members and the pressure-transfer surface of the pressure-transferring elements for smoothing and maximizing pressure transfer from the one of the members to the pressure transfer surface. The dies are shaped to exert a pressure on the members during the transport of the dies in a direction transverse to the transport direction, so that a smoothly increasing counter-pressure opposite to the pressure is applied to the work from the one of the members during the transport of the dies through the pressure zone along the transport direction through the matching devices and through the pressure-transferring elements so as to obtain the shaped part.
