Press for transforming work pieces

Abstract

A press for transforming work pieces including a drive apparatus for driving at least one press tappet and at least one tappet element. The drive apparatus is connected with at least one extractor element through a lever linkage. A tool with a tool lower element and a tool upper element which is mounted on the press tappet. At least one extractor element is provided to extract the work piece following the transformation process. A coupling which connects the drive apparatus with at least one extractor element or disengages it therefrom. At least one measuring sensor which is part of a triggering apparatus arranged inside the lever linkage and which is in a position to measure the force acting on the extractor element continuously. The triggering apparatus is provided to disengage the coupling in the event of a deviation of the force value measured continuously by at least one measuring sensor from a force standard value specified in reference to a certain point in the motion of the extractor element by a certain amount.
