Abstract

For supporting a sheet-metal article which rests on a die and which executes an upward pivoting movement during the pressing operation, a vertically movable supporting unit is provided. The movement of the latter is coordinated with the ram movement and executed at a speed which is in a specific ratio to the speed of the ram. This ratio corresponds to the ratio of the distance between the support and the die edge facing it to half the die width.
