Changing form mask of multistage press - involves use of slide which is hydraulically actuated

摘要

The multipage press has a mechanism for removing one form mask (5) and replacing it with a second form mask (15) in order to carry out a further press operation. The form mask (5) is raised vertically by hydraulically actuated device (6) which aligns the rollers (14), attached to its supporting slide (12), to horizontal rails and then pushes the slide into place in the press. The form mask (5) is lowered into place by a hydraulically actuated linkage (8). The form mask (5) is attached to the slide by suction pads (10). USE - Multi-stage presses.
