ABSTRACT:
To crown (deform into a convex state) a die for a press brake (bending press), a number of a pair of upper and lower wedges are arranged between the lower die and the lower table at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the press brake, and simultaneously moved in the lateral direction by an elastic member (plate spring) fitted to each bottom groove formed in the lower wedge. Both free ends of the elastic member is moved by elastic member adjusting means including two sprocket wheels, two tubular nut members, a control motor, etc. To provide a smooth wedge slidable motion, springs are disposed to urge the lower die upward together with a lower die base.
