ROTARY COMPRESSION MOLDING PRESS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotary compression molding press capable of efficiently manufacturing various kinds of compression moldings in small quantities. SOLUTION: The rotary compression molding press has a first guide member 51 which causes a guide mechanism 50 for guiding the lower pestles according to the orbital motion of lower pestles 30a and 30b interlocked to a rotator 10 to vertically move the lower pestles engaged therewith according to the orbital motion of the lower pestles, and a second guide member 52 which fixes the lower pestles engaged therewith regardless of the orbital motion of the lower pestles to top dead centers where their top ends are nearly flush with the openings at the lower edges of mortar sections 11a and 11b. The lower pestles can selectively be engaged with the first and second guide members. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
