A hydraulic press including a frame with platens, at least one of which is carried or formed by a pressure plate structure (47) adapted for transferring pressing force to an object between the platens, is adapted such that said structure (47) is substantially carried solely by supports (59, 61) mounted between the defining edges of said structure, said supports being positionally adjustable such that the surface of the platen assumes a predetermined shape during the pressing operation. The press suitably includes mechanical means for desired displacement of the supports. |
