916,142. Metal-working presses. DANLY MACHINE SPECIALTIES Inc. Jan. 12, 1959 [Jan. 16, 1958], No. 991/59. Class 83 (4). In a press having a frame 10, bed 20 supporting a lower die 66 and a slide 56 supporting an upper die 64, the lower die is movable into and out of the press by one of a pair of bolster 108 movable along runways 84, 88 extending in different directions, and stop means 254, 258 are provided for the bolster in its pressing position. The bolsters are preferably arranged to carry both the upper and lower dies. Bolster 108 is mounted on a carrier 70 having wheels 72, 82 running along rails 84, 86 passing through side opening 60 in the press frame. Another die set with its bolster is mounted on a similar carrier 68 running along rails 88, 90 passing through an opposite opening in the frame. Alternatively, the rails may run through front and rear openings in the frame. Carrier 70, Fig. 3, is driven by a pair of cables or chains 224 passing around sprockets such as 226, 228 and actuated through a reduction gear 218 by an electric motor 208. A similar drive 234, 242, 248 is provided for the carrier 68. As the carrier 70 approaches the pressing position its wheels pass over wells 296, Fig. 13 (not shown), in the bed 20, but the carrier is then still supported by rollers 294 on air cylinder units 282. When the stops 254, 258 are engaged, a limit switch 264, Fig. 4 (not shown), stops the motor 208. The air units 282 are then opened to exhaust causing the rollers 294 to lower the carrier on to bed 20; the stops 254, 258 are then interlocked, Fig. 7 (not shown). Clamps 314, Fig. 5 (not shown) ,are also used to secure the carrier to the bed. Upper die 64, Fig. 8, is clamped to the slide 56 by bolts 192 with heads 196 which in one position can pass through slots 206 in the die but when the bolts are turned through a right angle the heads engage shoulders of the die to clamp it. An extension 198 of the bolt registers with stop faces in a hole 200 for limiting the turning movement. This occurs automatically as the bolts are tightened or slackened by nuts 182 having gear teeth driven through worm gearing or by spur gearing 180, 172, 168 and a torque limiting device by an electric motor 164. The bottom die 66 carries ejector pins 130 resting on a cushion 44 supported by pistons 36 in air cylinders 32 which absorb the impact pressure on the workpiece 132. The carriers 70 may be omitted and the wheels 72, 82 provided directly by the bolster 108. An electrical control circuit is described.
