A press device which is reduced in overall height thereof and in deformation of a press frame and can sufficiently support an eccentric load thereto. The press device comprises a press force generating unit disposed in a press frame and including a lid member secured to the press frame, a cross head having a cylinder chamber in which the lid member is fitted for axial sliding movement and having a blank holder at an end face thereof remote from the lid member, and a pressurizing member fitted for axial sliding movement in a portion of the cylinder chamber remote from the lid member. A shaping element is disposed in the press frame in an opposing relationship to the press force generating unit and has a shaping portion in which the pressurizing member is fitted. A guide element is connected to the cross head for guiding the cross head for axial sliding movement, and a cross head actuating device is connected to the cross head for axially moving the cross head under the guidance of the guide element independently of the pressurizing member.

Press device

An induction stirrer/mold assembly for use on a continuous casting machine, which includes a coil assembly having an outer frame securely fastened to a vibrating table of the casting machine and accommodating induction stirring coils in the outer frame; and a continuous casting mold assembly detachably mounted on the outer frame of the coil assembly, the four sides of the mold being constituted by separable mold walls each having a copper facing plate securely joined to a reinforcing back-up plate.
