Press tool e.g. sheet molding compound (SMC) press tool for manufacturing mold portion such as outer casing of motor vehicle, has die that is biased with ram in direction of pressing position, if tool is opened in advance position

摘要

The press tool (1) has a punch that is relatively moved together with a die (4) so that a mold cavity for forming a planar mold portion is limited. The die is biased with ram in the direction of pressing position so that a portion of ram guided along the mold cavity is partially limited, if the press tool is opened in an advance position. The ram is moved in a lower cleaning position through a lifting cylinder, so that the punch is accessed. The ram is moved into an upper cleaning position through lifting cylinder, so that dipping edge portions of ram are accessed. An independent claim is included for mold portion.
