A die cushion device is comprised of die cushion modules which are
independently movable and unitized. The individual die cushion modules
are provided with a cushion pad, a servomotor, a power transmission
mechanism, a power conversion mechanism and a guide member. By
configuring in this way, the design of the die cushion is facilitated, a
drive mechanism of the die cushion becomes compact, and the number of
types of parts used is decreased.
