Stanzpresse

The punch press of the present invention is capable of selecting three tracks of a punch tool (4) by a standard low-priced cylinder device (21A, 21B) which can provide sufficient supporting strength. If the punch press is a turret punch press a plurality of tool setting stations with punch tools (4) is provided in the periphery direction in a turret 3A that is rotatable around the center of the periphery. At least one of the tool setting stations is arranged with three punch tools (4) in the turret diameter direction. A ram (11) comprises a ram main body (14) capable of elevating and descending, and a striker (15) which is provided transferable in the diameter direction at the lower part of the ram main body. The punch press comprises a link member (19) which in connected rotatably in both directions to the striker (15), and two cylinder devices (21A, 21B) of which the piston rods (20A, 20B) are connected rotatably to both ends of the link member (19). The advancing position and the receding position of the pistons of both cylinder devices are combined by a striker position control means (27), and the striker (15) is positioned in the diameter direction corresponding to the three punch tools (4) (Fig. 3).
