Abstract

L'invention porte sur une presse radiale du type à arceau, laquelle comprend un outil de presse comprenant des mâchoires de presse et deux éléments de structure (1, 2) qui comprennent un arceau de presse (3, 4). Les arceaux de presse peuvent être déplacés l'un par rapport à l'autre au moyen d'une unité d'entraînement comprenant deux ancres de traction (6) et ils forment entre eux un espace de réception (7) dans lequel l'outil de presse est logé. Ladite presse radiale comporte également un dispositif de compensation (9) comprenant une unité d'entraînement additionnelle (11) qui agit entre les deux éléments de structure (1, 2) et qui attaque au moins l'un des éléments de structure de façon déportée par rapport au plan de référence défini par les deux ancres de traction, et une unité de réglage correspondante. La force qui est développée par l'élément d'entraînement de l'unité d'entraînement additionnelle et qui agit entre les deux éléments de structure contrecarre une variation de la géométrie de la presse qui s'établit lors du travail de la presse par suite d'une disposition de la pièce déportée par rapport au plan de référence.
