Tool-holder gripper for a multiple change of tools in a horizontal radial press having a set of jaws moving radially and axially, comprising a handle, a tool-holder disc, and angular centring devices acting in conjunction with a front flange of the press to angularly align the tools and jaws. The gripper is further provided with a radial, axial centring portion configured to abut against the front surface of at least one radial jaw when the tools and jaws are axially aligned but still disengaged, so that the subsequent axial advancement of the jaws is accompanied by a simultaneous axial reversing of the gripper.

Tool-holder gripper for radial presses

The present invention relates to a tool holding clamp for a multiple change of tools for radial presses, where said presses comprise a plurality of radial jaws () onto which the tools () are mounted and where tools and jaws are provided with complementary coupling means, such as radial pins () and relative slots (). The clamp presents centering devices, working together with the radial press to guarantee alignment of said complementary devices when the tools are mounted onto the jaws of the press. A tool holding rack for radial presses also constitutes the object of the invention, and is provided with devices adapted to interacting with the tool holding clamp for positioning the tools onto said clamp in the position of alignment with the jaws of the press.
