ABSTRACT:
Presented is a hardware insertion press of the type for insertion of fasteners in sheet metal. The press incorporates both operator and tool protection systems that prevent the operator from being injured during use of the press, and which prevent the tool from being damaged by misalignment of a fastener in relation to the workpiece to which the fastener is intended to be fastened. For operator safety, the press is equipped so that the ram will retract if the tool encounters a part of the operator's body, such as a hand or finger. For tool protection the press incorporates mechanisms that define the press "window" so that a misaligned fastener encountered out of the range of the press window will cause the ram to be interrupted in its movement. The press also incorporates a lower tool mounting structure that accommodates vibration of the press, and which may be adjusted to quickly and easily align or intentionally misalign the upper and lower tooling, and for enabling removal and precise positional replacement of the lower tooling in its original position.
