Abstract: Pin insertion holes 25, and 26 are adjustable relative to each other and are arranged such that one is on a die holder 6 which is mounted on an alignment plate 7 of a lower turret 2 and the other one is on the alignment plate 7 itself. A mounting pin 11 is inserted through the die holder 6 and through both pin insertion holes 25, 26. This mounting pin 11 is capable of increasing and decreasing in diameter when inserted in the pin insertion holes 25, 26. The mounting pin 11 is charged with a pressure medium 22 such as oil or the like and this diameter increase is carried out by the pressurization of the pressure medium 22 by the screwing of a pressure application screw 23 or the like.

Abstract: A single die raising device is arranged on a turret for raising a die used for forming so that such die-raising device does not become an obstruction when the work is delivered. Apparatus is described in which each of a plurality of form dies (5) arranged on a lower turret (2) can be raised. A die-raising device (16) that raises the die (5) from below the lower turret (2) is arranged so as to be utilized in one place, for example, in the punch position (P), of the rotation path (L) of the die (5) by rotation of the lower turret (2). A projecting part (29a) that projects lower than the lower surface of the lower turret (2) is arranged on each die (5). The die raising device (16) comprises a retracting member (17) which is able to retract horizontally and has a horizontal surface (17b) and a slanting surface (17a) which can lift up the projecting part (29a) of the die (5), and an actuator (18).
