Abstract
A press has a tool which comprises an upper tool part and a lower tool part. The upper tool part is held on the press slide, while the lower tool part is stationarily mounted in the press frame. A movable forming element, such as a shearing blade, is provided in the lower tool part. The press drive is used for driving the shearing blade. For this purpose, a hydraulic force transmitting device is provided in the lower tool part and is actuated by way of a pressure pin. For the actuation, the slide or an element fixedly connected with the slide is used, the slide, in turn, being driven by the press drive. A hydraulic force transmitting device in the lower tool part permits a liberal tool construction and an arrangement of corresponding force transmitting devices for the at least temporary coupling between the slide and the hydraulic force transmitting device at points which hinder neither the access to the tool nor the workpiece transfer.
