Abstract (en)

The improved machine comprises a ram operated in such a manner as to undergo reciprocating movement away from and towards the sheet metal to be expanded The ram carries a toothed blade driven with reciprocating movement in a direction perpendicular to that of the ram and acting on the sheet metal in cooperation with a backing blade able to retract against the action of elastic means. At its ends the ram is connected to rods. These rods are slidingly guided in fixed supports. The rods are connected together in pairs by a cross-member. The rods of pneumatic cylinders operating as pneumatic springs act on the cross-member.
