Abstract

A transfer press or similar press installation is provided with a press frame including press supports, a press bed, and headpieces, these press parts being rigidly connected with one another by turnbuckles. The press installation includes slides and a transfer device, which are movable by driving devices. Longitudinal traverses are provided which extend along the length of at least the working stages. The press supports are arranged in front of and behind the working stages, and the longitudinal traverses are placed on these press supports. The longitudinal traverses are provided with guides which interact with guides mounted on the slides for the bearing of the slides which move up and down. As a result, a stable and cost-effective construction of the press installation is achieved while supports in the central working areas are omitted.
