PUNCH PRESS AND AUTOMATIC POSITIONING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To machine the whole surface of a work by moving a work table to support the work at four sides in the orthogonal direction to the movement of a first supporting mechanism by the first supporting mechanism to move the work in parallel and a second supporting mechanism to support the work in the orthogonal direction thereto. SOLUTION: A press body 10 comprises a display part 11 to display the pattern of the pressing shape and the operational information, an operation part 12 to instruct the pressing and the automatic positioning, and a pressing part to perform the pressing. An automatic positioning device 20 is provided with a work table 21, X-direction support parts 30a, 30b to support a work W loaded thereon, and a Y-direction supporting part 40, and performs the X- direction movement and the Y-direction movement of the work table 21 according to the pressing. Since the work is movably supported at four sides, the movement of the work by a worker can be unnecessitated, the working efficiency is improved, and the whole surface of the work can be pressed.
