  • Patent number: 5478225
    Abstract: A tool set type powder compacting press is proposed which is simple in construction and reliable. The driving shafts coupled through coupling shafts with the tool holding plates, that is, the punch plates are provided at the press side. Further, coupling mechanisms having removable joints are provided between the driving shafts and the punch plates. No driving device is provided at the tool set side. Since the driving mechanisms are integrated at the press side, the whole arrangement will have a simple construction. This will also increase the reliability.
