Abstract

A press has a slide, a lower tool and an upper tool which are provided for forming workpieces and each have a top tool and a bottom tool respectively. The top tool of the upper tool and the bottom tool of the lower tool are each fixedly connected with the press stands. The bottom tool of the upper tool and the top tool of the lower tool are each arranged on the slide. The slide can be driven by a linear drive and carries out a lifting movement.

1 . Press ( 1 ) having a slide ( 4 ) and having a lower tool ( 7 ) and an upper tool ( 8 ) which are provided for forming workpieces ( 10 ) and have one top tool ( 7   a ,  7   b ) and one bottom tool ( 8   a ,  8   b ) respectively, the top tool ( 8   a ) of the upper tool ( 8 ) and the bottom tool ( 7   b ) of the lower tool ( 7 ) each being fixedly connected with the press stand ( 2 ), the bottom tool ( 8   a ) of the upper tool ( 8 ) and the top tool ( 7   b ) of the lower tool ( 7 ) each being arranged on the slide ( 4 ), and the slide ( 4 ) being drivable by a linear drive ( 5 ) and carrying out a lifting movement.
