Abstract

Apparatus for processing a sheet-metal workpiece includes a press tool including a bottom die and top die. A press includes a platen which receives the bottom die, and a ram which receives the top die. The press tool is protected by a protective system which detects an idle stroke and includes an adjustable spacer assembly to prevent collision between the top and bottom dies.
