A die press for performing operations on material includes a planar support upon which material is placed and a pressure member movable toward and away from the support. Means for moving the pressure member are provided as well as means for controlling the pressure member moving means. A die carriage upon which a die is mounted is situated between the pressure member and the support and is movable relative to the support in first, second and third directions, one of which is the direction of movement of the pressure member. The linkage for mounting the die carriage maintains the die carriage in the plane of the support throughout the movement thereof. For safety purposes the control means is situated on the die carriage at a portion thereof remote from the path of movement of the pressure member. Preferably, the control means includes a pair of switches which require simultaneous activation in order to energize the pressure member moving means.
A die press for performing operations on material comprising a support upon which the material is placed, a pressure member, said member being movable toward and away from said support, means for moving said member, means for controlling said moving means, a die, a die carriage upon which said die is mounted, said carriage being situated between said member and said support and being movable relative to said support, said controlling means being situated on said die carriage at a portion thereof remote from the path of movement of said member.
A die press for performing operations on material comprising a support upon which the material is placed, a pressure member, said member being movable toward and away from said support and, additionally, movable in a plane parallel to said support, a die, a die carriage upon which said die is mounted, said die carriage being located between said member and said support, and movable in a first, a second and a third direction relative to said support, said first direction being parallel to the direction of movement of said pressure member toward and away from said support, and means for maintaining said die carriage in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of said support throughout the movement thereof.
