A process for stroke adjustment employs an adjustable stroke punch press which has a crankshaft with an integral eccentric portion around which is disposed an eccentric sleeve, a connection arm, an L-shaped piston-like sleeve, a locking plate, and a clamping plate. During press operation, the eccentric sleeve is locked to the crankshaft through the locking plate and the clamping plate. Stroke length is adjusted by changing the eccentricity of the integral crankshaft eccentric portion relative to the eccentric sleeve. The eccentric sleeve is unlocked from the crankshaft and locked to the connection arm during stroke adjustment allowing the crankshaft to rotate relative thereto by utilizing the inching mode of the press.

A process for adjusting the stroke length of a punch press, the punch press including a crankshaft with an eccentric portion, an eccentric sleeve radially disposed on the eccentric portion and selectively rotatable relative to the eccentric portion, a connection arm radially and rotatably disposed on the eccentric sleeve, a locking plate axially moveable on the crankshaft, a clamping plate fixed to the crankshaft, and a piston for receiving pressurized hydraulic fluid and thereby axially urging the locking plate into frictional engagement with the clamping plate during normal press operation, said process comprising the steps of: relieving the hydraulic pressure in the piston and thereby disengaging the locking and clamping plates; locking the eccentric sleeve to the connection arm; then rotating the crankshaft through a desired angle; then unlocking the eccentric sleeve from the connection arm; and then supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to the piston to create frictional engagement between the locking and clamping plates for normal operation of the punch press.
