Abstract:
This invention relates to a tool for press brake. More specifically, the invention relates to a modular and adjustable female die tool mountable to a stationary bed part of a press brake machine or similar. The modular die tool unit (10) includes a drive shaft (18) rotatable about a central longitudinal axis, a pair of first and second die jaws (14, 16) each located on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and reciprocally movable towards and away from on another relative to such longitudinal axis, and a connecting formation at each of the longitudinal ends of the drive shaft (18) for: (i) coaxially connecting the drive shafts (18) of two or more adjacent modular die tool units (10) end-to-end; and/or (ii) connecting a drive means to the drive shaft (18) of one of the modular die tool units (10) thereby to drive such drive shaft (18) and the other drive shafts (18) connected thereto.
