Slider link press

A slider link press device having a front face and an opposing rear face, the device comprising:

• a crank shaft lying along a longitudinal axis extending in the direction from said front face to said rear face resulting in the crank shaft being orientated in a front-rear direction;
• a fulcrum shaft lying along a longitudinal axis extending in the direction from said front face to said rear face;
• first means for linking said crank shaft to said fulcrum shaft;
• said first means having a body that is pivotably retained on one side by said fulcrum shaft and being operable in a first arc about said fulcrum shaft, said body lying along an axis that is at least substantially parallel to said front and rear faces;
• said body of said first means being perpendicular to said crank shaft and said fulcrum shaft;
• a crank pin on said crank shaft;
• said crank pin providing an eccentric displacement to said first means;
• a slide having a top and a bottom dead center position;
• second means for linking said first means to said slide;
• said first means increasing a force applied to said slide at said bottom dead center and increasing a slide descent time whereby a precision increases and decreases a slide assent time;
• guide means for guiding said slide in said cycle;
• said guide means eliminating eccentric loads upon said slide during said cycle, whereby said precision increases;
• and
• a drive means for driving said press device and apply said force to said slide.
