Abstract

A pressing mechanism for machines for shaping workpieces. The mechanism has a rotatebly driven spindle on which are secured shaping tools having a path diameter determine by cutters. The mechanism also has presser elements that, as viewed in the direction of feed of workpieces that are to be shaped, are disposed ahead of and behind the spindle. To adapt to varying path diameters and forming depths of the cutters, the presser elements can be displaced transverse to the axis of the spindle. To adapt to varying path diameters of the tools, the presser elements can be moved in opposite directions at an angle to the direction of feed. To adapt to the respective forming depths of the cutters, the presser elements can be moved in different opposite directions at an angle to the direction of feed.
