Definitions

  • This invention relates to a punch press and a method of punching plate-type workpieces, and in particular to a punch press provided with one or more than two pairs of disc-shaped rotatable tool holders each of which supports a plurality of punches or dies, and a method of processing plate-type workpieces by the punch press.
  • a turret punch press comprised of a frame, an upper and a lower turrets rotatably mounted on the frame, for carrying a number of punch and die tools at the outer peripheries of the turrets, and a striker attached to the frame, for striking one of the punches.
  • the punch to be struck is positioned or indexed under the striker when the workpiece is punched.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-27393 discloses a turret punch press comprised of an upper and lower turrets on which a number of punches and dies are arranged in several concentric circles so that some punches and dies respectively align in the radial directions of the upper and lower turrets.
  • the punch press has a striker movable in a radial direction of the turrets.
  • United State Patent No. 4412469 discloses a turret punch press of which upper and lower turrets carry rotatable punch and die tools.
