Abstract: The invention provides a press for powder metallurgy in which a die set installed between an upper ram and a lower ram of a main body of the press can be easily fixed or removed and the accuracy of the molded product is improved. An upper part of the lower ram to which a yoke plate of the die set is installed or is provided with a gap adjusting screw displaceable with thread engagement in vertical direction. A hydraulic actuator or other rotary driving device is fixed to a lower part of the lower ram. A driving shaft of the rotary driving device is connected to the gap adjusting screw by a connecting shaft which passes through an axial center of the lower ram. When the die set is installed in the main body of the press, the gap adjusting screw is retracted within the lower ram so as to assure a sufficient gap between the yoke plate and the lower ram.

Abstract: An apparatus for replacing the tool sets without requiring any fixing or removal of the fluid pressure pipes such as hydraulic hoses or the like when the tool sets are fixed to or removed from the main body of the power molding press. Swing arms 6 having arm lengths set therein are oscillatably and rotatably fitted to the arm shafts 5 vertically installed at proper side locations of the main body 1 of the press in such a way as the rotating radius of the arm shafts may overlap the mounting position of the main body 1 of the press. The extreme ends of the swing arms 6 are provided with supporting boxes 7 on which the tool sets 3 are mounted. Rotation of the swing arms 6 enables the tool sets 3 to be moved toward or away from the centeral part of the main body 1 of the press and then the tool sets 3 to be fixed to or removed from the main body 1 of the press.
