Abstract

The present invention relates to an edge-bending press (10) which comprises an upper platen (12), a lower platen (14) and operating actuators (16). The operating actuators (16) are designed to cause a relative movement of the upper platen (12) and lower platen (14) towards and/or away from each other. The press (10) also comprises an upper die-holder assembly (22) which is connected to the upper platen (12) and a lower die-holder assembly (24) which is connected to the lower platen (14). Each die-holder assembly comprises a right-hand die-holder (222, 242) and a left-hand die-holder (224, 241); thus there is an upper right-hand die-holder (222), an upper left-hand die-holder (224), a lower right-hand die-holder (242) and a lower left-hand die-holder (244). The press (10) also comprises adjustment actuators (18) designed to cause a relative movement of the right-hand die-holders (222, 242) and left-hand die-holders (224, 244) towards and/or away from each other. The press (10) also comprises centring actuators (20) designed to impart a movement involving displacement of the die-holder assemblies (22, 24) along the platens (12, 14).
