Abstract

A deep rolling machine has a power unit (13) attached in a gate (31) such that the power unit (13) can be moved in the direction of force exertion (30). The power unit (13) is connected, with articulation, at one end (32), via a joint (33), to the end (11) of a shearing arm (3) of the deep rolling unit (15). The free end (34) of the gate (31) is fit with a back up roller (35) that is routed along a curved web (36), defined in a gap in the second end (11) of the shearing arm (3). In the closed position of the power unit (13), three joints (28, 29, 33) form a triangle (37). One of the joints (28) points to the rotating joint (5). The two shearing arms (3 and 4) of the deep rolling unit (15) are articulately connected to one another at the rotating joint (5). Also in the closed position, a crank lever (27) reaches a limit stop (39) at the end (12) of the shearing arm (4).
