Electric press with torque motor

Electromechanical press (1) for forming workpieces by deforming and/or cutting material from a sample, comprising:

• a work table (5) defining, in an orthonormal marker XYZ, an upper work plane P1, coinciding with the XZ plane of the marker, on which one or more samples to be formed can be arranged at one or more predetermined positions, and
• a device for forming (3) workpieces by deforming and/or cutting material from said samples arranged on the working plane of said table (5), the device for forming (3) workpieces comprising a forming tool (35) arranged so as to be movable in translation in a plane P2 perpendicular and secant to the working plane P1 of the table, and
• an electromechanical actuating device (4) for actuating the forming device (3), supported on a frame (2) which is fixed in position relative to the working plane P1, the electromechanical actuating device (4) being arranged in kinematic connection with the forming device (3) in order to move said forming tool (35) back and forth over a given stroke in the plane P2,
• wherein the electromechanical actuating device (4) comprises at least one Torque-type electric motor (41) with an eccentric axis (43d, 43g) arranged in kinematic connection with the forming device (3), the electromechanical actuating device (4) being supported on the frame (2) in a position intersecting the plane P2 of movement of the forming device and located between a base (23) of the frame on the floor and the work table (5) under the work plane P1, while the forming tool (35) is held in any position in or above the work plane P1 of the work table (5), the work table being integral with the frame (2).
