Abstract

A die cushion padis divided into four small padsand a large pad. With this arrangement, a load applied to an action point of each of the small padscan be equalized by the large pad, and an overturning moment arising between the action point and a reaction force point that equates the center of the small padcan be canceled, thereby preventing flexure of the small pad. Accordingly, since flexure of the cushion pin and the like can be prevented, there is no risk that the cushion pin is frictioned against the penetrating hole of a bolster, and the lifting operation can be smoothly performed, whereby a higher-accuracy pressing forming operation can be realized.
