46,825 PRESS APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A punch press remotely disengageable from the punch drive mechanism, particularly useful where the press must operate in a hostile environment. The press includes a punch block, supporting one or more punches, which is later- ally inserted into connection with the punch drive apparatus. A die set is provided for supporting one or more dies, and the die set is associated with the punch block such that the punch is guided into a preselected position relative to the die by the drive apparatus. A structural frame is provided for seating the die set, which can be laterally inserted and removed from the frame. Guide rails are also provided which can extend laterally from the frame and support the die set in a position removed from the normal operating position within the frame. The guide rails also support the die set in the operating position. An hydraulic cylinder can also be provided to laterally eject the guide rails and die set, and the punch block and punch from the frame area, thereby exposing the components for removal.
