Abstract
The specification discloses a swaging press (10) having an annular axially movable drive member (19) and a plurality of die shoes (16) cooperable with the drive member (19), the drive member (19) having at least one inwardly facing contact surface (22, 23) engageable with at least one outwardly facing segmented contact surface (24, 25) of each die shoe (16), the die shoes (16) being arranged as a die shoe set (17) whereby axial movement of the drive member (19) in a first direction causes the die shoes (16) of the die shoe set (17) to move radially inwardly during a swaging operation, the die shoes (16) and the drive member (19) being movable relative to one another about a rotation axis (29) after a single swaging operation or after a number of swaging operations.
