Abstract
A tool-clamping device for a forming tool, in particular a bending punch or bending die, on a compression beam, in particular an edging press, comprising a tool adapter attached to the compression beam and designed to releasably hold the forming tool. At least one resiliently elastic return means is provided between a receiving region of the tool adapter and a connecting region of the tool adapter or between the beam and the tool adapter to counteract a relative displacement between the tool adapter and forming tool and the compression beam in the longitudinal direction of the beam.
Claims14
A tool-clamping device for affixing a forming tool on a compression beam in a press, comprising a tool adapter structured and arranged to releasably hold the forming tool, the tool adapter having a receiving region for receiving the forming tool and a connecting region structured and arranged to engage the compression beam, the tool adapter further comprising at least one resiliently elastic return means disposed between the forming tool and the compression beam, the return means being elastically deformed by relative displacement between the forming tool and the compression beam in a longitudinal direction of the beam as a result of deformation of the beam caused by force exerted on the beam during a compression process, the return means restoring the tool adapter to an initial position thereof when the force on the beam is removed.
