- **RO2014/001784** (RO): Conform descrierii solicitantului şi a fotografiei anexate, produsul reprezintă un echipament tehnologic numit matriţă. Aceasta reprezintă o parte a unei linii tehnologice de prese hidraulice şi este formată din două corpuri (semimatriţa inferioară şi semimatriţa superioară) şi este folosită pentru deformarea plastică la rece a foilor de tablă tăiate la dimensiune, pentru obţinerea diferitalor panouri de caroserie auto (elemente de caroserie). Matriţa este compusă dintr-un număr mare de elemente cu rol specific şi care formează un ansamblu unitar şi distinct din punct de vedere constructiv şi funcţional. Matriţa este formată din elemente active care vin în contact direct cu materialul de prelucrat, determinând modificarea formei şi a dimensiunilor acestuia (scula propriuzisă) şi alte elemente care asigură fixarea elementelor active, centrarea lor, poziţionarea semifabricatului, ghidarea acestuia, evacuarea piesei şi deşeului, elemente de control a poziţiei elementelor active şi a semifabricatului etc. Semimatriţa inferioară se montează pe placa de bază a presei hidraulice, iar cea superioară pe culisoul acesteia. Mariţa este conectată cu presa hidraulică atât electric cât şi pneumatic. Conexiunile au rolul de a comanda şi controla automat cele două semimatriţe, acestea având în componenţă atât senzori cât şi diverse dispozitive acţionate atât electric cât şi pneumatic. Greutatea unei matriţe de caroserie este cuprinsă între 5 şi 35 de tone.
