Abstract
A tandem press system includes a plurality of presses disposed in a workpiece transfer direction, a workpiece transfer device that transfers a workpiece from an upstream press to a downstream press using a tool mounted on the workpiece transfer device via a crossbar, and a tool replacement device that replaces the tool mounted on the workpiece transfer device. The tool replacement device can be transferred from an inter-press space between the upstream press and the downstream press to an external space in a tool replacement direction independently of transfer of a bolster provided with a die to an external space in a die replacement direction.
