CUTTING PRESS WITH STROKE TERMINATING MEANS

摘要

In a cutting press of the type wherein an upper platen is forced toward a lower platen to press a die through a workpiece on the lower platen, a more easily operable stroke setting means is provided. In the course of low pressure actuation of the upper platen for this purpose, an operator need only deactivate a solenoid whereby a brake becomes effective to establish the cutting stroke as appropriate to the depth of a die, for subsequent high pressure cutting strokes of the press.
