ABSTRACT:
A closure panel hemming apparatus includes a lower support supporting a lower hemming die and an upper support spaced from and mounted above the lower support supporting an upper hemming die. The upper and lower supports are relatively vertically moveable for bringing the dies toward and away from one another. At least one guide post interconnects the upper and lower supports and maintains alignment of the upper and lower supports during movement thereof. A plurality of actuators of the ball screw or rack and pinion type is driveably connected to draw together the upper and lower supports bringing the dies together for edge hemming preformed metal panels nested between the dies.
