Abstract

The invention consists in an apparatus for sealing tubular or bag-shaped packing casings, comprising tools such as crimping shears for crimping the packaging casing as well as a punch (10) and a die (12) for setting and closing closure clips (46), where the movement of one or several tools is predetermined by at least one cam track on which a scanning roller (22; 32) is rolling, and which is characterized in that it additionally comprises a guide roller, which rolls on a separate guideway on the cam plate and by means of an elastic element (61) urges the scanning roller (32) against the cam track with a bias due to an elastic deformation of the elastic element (61).
