  • Publication number: 20030217652
    Abstract: The present invention provides a slide guide for a press which comprises a gib structure with a spherical surface. The gibs are formed on a frame of the press. The spherical surface is provided with a holder or a cap to cover the spherical surface. The surface contacts are formed between the spherical surface bodies and the gibs or between the caps and the gibs. Forming spherical contact surfaces prevents damage to the sliding surface. This slide guide provides uniform, secure contact at a sliding surface of a press and prevents uneven contact. The spherical surface body can be easily installed and can adapt to deformation of the slide and prevent damage to the sliding surface.

  • Patent number: 6524092
    Abstract: A middle liner of a slide guide device for a machine press has a spherical shaped side which fits into a sliding gib attached to a slide. The middle liner slides along a fixed gib at first and second linear surfaces that are at an angle with each other. The combination of self-alignment and smooth movement of the slide is achieved in the presence of an eccentric load acting on the slide. A machine press equipped with such a slide guide device has excellent eccentric load resistance and high working precision. In a further embodiment, a press machine is further equipped with a knockout device having knockout block moving between a pair of guide rails. A plurality of middle liners, each having at least one spherical surface, are positioned between the knockout block and the guide rails. The resulting knockout device provides a stable knockout load with low noise and low energy consumption.

  • Publication number: 20020061144
    Abstract: A slide guide device for a press guides a slide in a cycle. The slide guide device eliminates eccentric force misalignment and prevents eccentric contact between the slide and a gib. The slide includes at least a first spherical shoe having at least a first guide surface. The gib includes at least a first sliding surface opposite the first guide surface. During operation, the spherical shoe rotates relative to the slide to provide automatic planar alignment between the first guide surface and the sliding surface. A wedge supports the gib to allow rapid and easy alignment with the slide.
